Another thought: do we have any large-format photos of wikipedians in action that we could display? like meetup photos or the wikipedia 10 photos? One thing we've never really had is a display about the global projects. It would be nice to have something that really focuses on the community as well as the projects.
p.s. James you are going to get us shirts to wear instead of the vests.... right? right?

Hmmm too bad we didn't get the big booth...
We should take whatever banner-y/sign type things we've got, since we don't know what the space looks like -- we might want them hung behind us, off the tables, etc. If we don't use stuff we can always just store it.
I'm pretty sure they will give us extra chairs.
I will get:
- water for the volunteers & snackfoods
- extra duct tape and cords for hanging
- a couple display print-on-demand books (i've got a couple)
- table skirting / sheets
- scissors
We don't have anything specific about the local group -- one year I made business cards with the list address.... If we don't have anything else I can just whip something together again...

Hey Phoebe and James,
Here is my list of items to get/find/bring:
Popup posters/banners
I'll check with LiAnna to be sure but we should almost certainly be able to use 1 or 2 of these.
Laptops
should talk with OIT about this
Freebies (stickers, buttons)
I'll handle these
Educational material
How to edit Evaluate quality Annual reports?
and these
Printouts on each project
Do we have any thing like this prepared from before?
Large TV Projector, screen
Should talk to OIT about these
Extra chairs Small folding table Switch Power strip Ethernet cables
These we should be more then fine with from office
Duct tape
This is probably around the office but need to look around
Table cloths
Fabric for the sides of our booths
Signs More signs? Sharpies
in Office supplies, easy
Sign for signatures (“I use Wikipedia for...”)
Once we settle on this we can talk with Jay and get this printed
Sample POD books James’ store equipment Water bottles for volunteers
Snackfoods?
Those vests
Also, I just found out we have a 10x10 booth and two tables.
is 10x10 the size we had last year? Do we know location?
Cheers, Stephen

Hey James --
Yes, I'll have the back of my car and the backseat free for people/boxes (though I don't have the biggest car, as you know...!) I will also be staying in San M. Friday/Sat so we can stash them whereever we have room.
Also on my shortlist to come up with:
- table skirting -- if we have more tables we need more table coverings
- water
- something to hand out about the local group
- something else to give people -- brochures about
wikimedia/wikipedia? Any thoughts on this?
Let me know if there's any missing electronics -- I can always take my tv etc but it would be easier not to, and just take stuff from the office.
Also I'm going to try to come early -- so if we must we can make a couple of runs.
I like the "I love Wikipedia because...." idea! phoebe

I may have a box or two to get you to carry from the office ;) I'll join you if you still have room or will take train otherwise I'm staying at a hotel nearby Friday/Saturday and can get stuff together if needed. We're talking to OIT to get some laptops together and probably either a tv or a projector (I know we have some Tvs around looking for a projector which we probably have somewhere if we look hard enough) as well as a poster for people to sign that we're still thinking about.
Stephen and I were thinking about something like "I love Wikipedia because...." or something like that printed out on our big printer. Anyone have ideas on what to say?
