Project:Events

The Gentoo Events project ("events") is the official Gentoo project for coordinating Gentoo's presence at various events hosted by the Free Software Community. This includes trade shows and developer meetings. By providing a single project to attempt to coordinate the Gentoo presence at events, it is hoped that Gentoo will present a more uniform and informed showing.

Goals
The goal of the Gentoo Events project is to coordinate the Gentoo presence at these events. This includes things such as procuring hardware, assisting developers in their travel and accomodations needs, obtaining printed press materials and release media, obtaining posters and flyers, and generally helping to ensure that our involvement in the event is a positive one that puts Gentoo in a good light, as well as making sure we have fun doing it.

Upcoming
