Cool Stuff

We are looking to book a meeting room so that we can have a place to go when we're not at the conference and hack together.

Loose Schedule

  • Monday, arrive and meet everyone
  • Tuesday, hack on code (mostly without Aaron due to IBM scheduling conflict)
  • Wednesday, hack on code and set up booth. Staff booth from 4-7 PM
  • Thursday, take turns staffing booth, attending conference, and working together
  • Friday, take turns staffing booth, attending conference, and working together
  • Saturday, last day, pack up booth, and then head to the beach (or wherever we decide for an "offsite". We can help each other digest the conference and relax at the same time.) Ideas welcome!

Marketing

We haven't organized marketing yet. We need booth materials and give aways. One idea is to give out Firefox's or Firefox banners to any other organization's booth, where they are friends of Firefox accessibility (GW Micro, AI Squared, Freedom Scientific, Nuance, Sun, IBM, etc.)
