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.
Any moderately BSD related topic is fair game.
Proposals will be accepted or rejected solely on the graphical quality of the poster.
A number of slots will be reserved for students.
To get a slot, send email to
with:
Right before we run out of slots.
Sorry, we cannot afford that (unless a sponsor volunteers).
If you want your poster on the web-site with the other conference material, make sure to send us the final PDF version.
Up to approx ISO-A0 portrait. Width < 90cm (35") and Height < 130cm (51").
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.
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.
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.
Here are some good examples for your inspiration: http://einstein.stanford.edu/content/aps_posters/index.html#posters.
