EuroBSDCon 2007 Poster Session

Poster Session?

EuroBSDcon2007 will not have a "Work In Progress" session, it will have poster session instead, possibly two, if we get many poster presenters.

The way it works is simple: During the lunch break the poster presenter gets a place to stand with his poster, and people wander around looking for stuff that interests them and the poster presenter makes his pitch to who ever stops by.

Rules of the game

Topics

Any moderately BSD related topic is fair game.

You must be this tall

Proposals will be accepted or rejected solely on the graphical quality of the poster.

A number of slots will be reserved for students.

Registration

To get a slot, send email to with:

Deadline

Right before we run out of slots.

Do I get free transportation, entrance to the conference etc ?

Sorry, we cannot afford that (unless a sponsor volunteers).

Web-site:

If you want your poster on the web-site with the other conference material, make sure to send us the final PDF version.

Poster size:

Up to approx ISO-A0 portrait. Width < 90cm (35") and Height < 130cm (51").

Poster production:

This is your own responsibility.

Ask your university, school, local engineering company, friend who works with CAD etc.

Many graphics companies and sign-shops can print posters for around EUR80 for A0.

Use a good solid stock if you want to reuse your poster many times.

If you want to have it printed in Denmark, try: http://www.vesterkopi.synonym.dk/.

If all else fails, drop me an email, and we can try to see if we can work something out.

Poster transportation

Use a tube if you can, folds are nothing but trouble.

If you do not want to bring your poster on the plane, you are welcome to mail it to us in advance.

Poster Layout:

Be creative, but cram all the stuff in there that you will need to show people.

Do not be afraid to use small print (12 point), people will be standing right in front of your poster.
