2 - DemoCamps - Lynn/ Ian

Eclipse is organizing a new series of DemoCamps from May 18 to June 26 to celebrate the Galileo release.  Eclipse DemoCamps are an opportunity for local Eclipse communities to meet in cities around the world, to network and exchange ideas.  

We would like to encourage Eclipse member companies and Eclipse committers to help organize and attend a local DemoCamp.  The Eclipse Foundation will provide up to $500 USD to sponsor each event.  If you are interested in organizing, please see http://www.eclipse.org/community/democamp/organizedemocamp.php for more details.

- Katharina will schedule a presentation by a potential provider  for the 28th April as part of the marketing meeting

- brainstorming at live meeting at JAX

5- Test conferences jointly 
Plan is to have a joint exhibit as we did at JavaPolis at 3 conferences for 2009 
- focus on European conferences 
- look at Linux Tage, bring forward suggestions as we receive the notifications

2009
Linux Tage, Berlin 24-27 June, IDG conference, 12,000 attendees 
- interesting options are a partnership (approx. € 6.000) or a normal booth (approx. € 2.000)
- week is packed with conflicting events
- however, this would be an 'international event'

- Java Forum Stuttgart, July 2, 2009 - EUR 3000 for med. sponsorship
***issue is that this is not an 'international' conference

- JavOXX, December - seems worthwhile for lead generation and meeting students
