* AlanGlennon would prefer not to take the Thursday/Friday 8-10AM shifts, but will do so if no one else is available.

== Equipment ==
as travel with equipment is difficult, best scenario is these are provided by U.S.A. local chapters...
 Possible needs:
 banner?
 laptops/monitors?
 table? drape? chairs?
 wired internet?
* Volunteers should bring their own laptop if possible. Maybe have a larger desktop monitor there too. Or projector?
* Banners?
** PDX-OSGeo will provide our popup banner and table runner
** PDX-OSGeo will provide two laptops runnint OSGeo-Live
** I'll bring the GRASS and PostGIS In Action books. Other books could be helpful as well (i.e. QGIS, OpenLayers, GeoServer, etc) 
** Have requested that CUGOS and California Chapters bring their popup banners and other materials as well
== Handouts ==
* The LOC can print some materials in limited numbers if asked in advance. In the past, we've used a small number of print materials for reference as opposed to handouts. We've used the things in marketing svn. Which materials do people want at the booth?
== Presentations ==
What kinds of live demonstrations or recorded examples can be played at the booth? Where can they be downloaded from or who can run them?
* If there are multiple booth volunteers, therefore multiple laptops, might simplify by having canned demos/videos, manual demos, and associated data living on a server somewhere.
* OSGeo Live - USB will be distributed from the OSGeo booth (300 are ordered), so either boot from media or run in a Virtual Machine.
=== Self-Running ===
Review in case of updates or additions
* place visible links to slides or videos here
* OSGeo Live overview presentation
== Other Considerations ==
* Good reading: Running Conference Booths
* Operate OSGeo Booth
