[OH-Publicity] OpenHatch booth at Scale

[Deb Nicholson]

The easiest way to capture contact info is digital. Either have people type
into a spreadsheet or form (easy), or do a bar code scanner which might be
expensive.

Maybe we could pass out a little postcard with a picture, a short paragraph
and a "more info" url.
Cheers,
Deb

potential OSCTC hosts and OH-affiliated projects?  People passing by the
booth could fill out the bottom with their name/contact info/campus (or
project), tear it off, and leave it with us, but take the shiny explanation
of OSCTC/OHAP with them.

pull off.

of delightful event photos, and wanting to print them out and put them
around the booth.  Opinions on which is better?

(screensaver of awesome event photos? demos of training missions?) but it's
worth brainstorming!

the booth at any given time makes the booth much more fun and not a chore
which people definitely respond to, 2) plus standing and greeting people as
they shuffle by instead of sitting/hiding behind a laptop, avoiding eye
contact, etc.

don't remember but I can put you in touch with Sharon from that group.

think they won most friendly booth last year). On the Saturday, there were
quite a few kids last year so stickers would be great.
