Hey Florida Drupalers and Drupalistas!
We're looking for volunteers to man a Florida Drupal booth at http://fossetcon.org this Sept 11-13
From their website:
Fossetcon is an acronym for "Free and Open Source Expo and Technology Conference". Fossetcon is not JUST a GNU/Linux Conference, *nix Conference or *BSD Conference. It's for all things Free and Open Source!
The booth times will be on Friday and Saturday. They're expecting over 500 people. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the wider open source community in general in addition to spreading the word and helping to market Drupal.
More details can be found on their website at http://fossetcon.org. The conf will be held at the Rosen Plaza Hotel off of I-Drive.
If you're interested, post below!

I'm in
Mike,
As we discussed on IRC, I'm happy to help man the booth and do whatever else is needed to make this happen.
We're planning on having booth swag and will be paying the registration fee for anyone willing to help staff the booth (half-day shifts). We'll also be buying lunch for booth-folks as well.
What do you need to do to be qualified to help staff the booth? Be passionate about Drupal, of course! Be willing to tell people what Drupal is, potentially give them a walk-through, hand out candy and swag, and generally encourage people to get involved with Drupal.
Thanks,
-mike

Anyone want to give a training session?
Does anyone want to do a training session Wednesday the 11th? If so, let me know ASAP. The organizer contacted me and has space, but it needs to be in TOMORROW (actually he said BEFORE tomorrow), but I'm going to email him as soon as I know.
The training sessions are 1.5 hours long, I believe, and an intro type session would be appropriate.
Volunteers for this???

Nobody replied to the offer to train. If the slot is still open, I would like to do it.
Also, count me in for any other help.

Friday morning
Joe,
Thanks for organizing all this.
I'll be there for the Friday morning shift. I'll assume we need to get there a bit early to set up, I'll also bring along some FLDC swag (I may have a few FLDC bags left over...)
I'll shoot you an email with this info as well.
Thanks,
-mike
I'll take the Saturday shift
I'll take the Saturday shift from 11:30 to 2.
Maybe a little road trip?
I'm going to see if I can sneak out for a little road trip. I wouldn't want to commit to any day or time so I don't screw up your planning, but I'd sure like to drop by and hang out a bit if I can swing it.

Thanks to everyone who
Thanks to everyone who volunteered. This was an exceptional conference.
We had a swag bag mixup on Saturday though. Mine had a blackmesh water bottle in it, and I think Michael Tripp's got picked up by accident as well.
There was a bag left at the end of the conference that had a polo shirt and a pair of sunglasses in it. I'm thinking this may be John Moore's. Please check your bags and see if you grabbed the correct one.
Checked my bag.
Ben,
Just checked, and it has the stuff I picked up.
So you've got mine then? It
So you've got mine then? It had the blackmesh water bottle and two xl shirts, one a fossetcon and the other a CentOS.
