Hi there,
(from somebody who attend FOSDEM)
Yeaaaah, I agree with you in general, but let me clarify some things:
1.) It's an easy way "from outside" to put up your finger and point it
so somebody ...
2.) Who is the Sheriff in that case?
Just to let you know or many readers know, it was a "Policy" from my
point of view as an event-owner for Linuxtag (Germany) and to be honest;
on Linuxtag it works because I personally kicked off every person with
his private Laptop at the booth; also the FPL and the First FPL :-) You
can ask them (if you don't believe).
Also to be honest; FOSDEM is as it said the name Free and Open Source
Developer European Meeting
There is and should be time to meet, time to hack and also time to
discuss. Who never been there, please come once, see it and go ahead
raise up your finger complaining ...
Please not earlier; thanks :-)
BTW.: I sit close to that people who reviewed packages: In the HACKROOM
(This was not done at the booth!
Hope to see you all soon again in person
Regards
Gerold

This is an excellent point, Christoph, and thanks for bringing this
up.
I think if any hacking is to be done, it's during the Fedora Activity
Day at a particular event (which, arguably, is what the FAD is for).
The booth is the face of Fedora at events and we all want to put our
best face forward.

For certain reasons (FOSDEM in this case) I'd like to remind
you all of
some rules you should follow when you are attending an event.
1. When you are at an event and you are doing service at
the Fedora
booth, please don't just sit behind the table staring
at your
laptop and chatting with each other. Instead, try to
spend your
time on the visitors.
2. Instead of sitting behind the desk, stand before it. If
you are
standing you can better talk to people cause you don't
have look
up all the time and if you are in front of the booth,
it's
easier to get in touch with people.
I was surprised to see that some people did builds and updates
this
afternoon while they were at FOSDEM. Even worse: At least some
of them
already heard about the complainants of some visitors that the
Fedora
people were just sitting and hacking all the time.
I have not been at the event so I cannot tell if these
complainants were
justified or not, but I think FOSDEM is definitely not the
place to do
package maintainance. It's is for meeting people! It's only
two days
each year, so when you are there, please do yourself a favor
and ether
spend the time on people or attend some of the excellent
talks.
Regards,
Christoph
