The JAX misadventures: booth-o-holicsApril 22nd, 2008 | by Jevgeni Kabanov | |
So once we got to Wiesbaden, we had to actually set up a booth. Of course, being software developers we lacked both the basic mechanical skill and any kind of eye for design. Therefore we experimented a lot.
We started by putting up the back wall:
Well, it turned out that it’s huge!
In fact since we had a bit of a unfortunate location, we ended up using the wall to set up a ZeroTurnaround themed coffee corner:

The Expo is open today from 10:00 to 20:00 and so far we managed to talk to about 50-70 people. It’s a great feeling to see people’s eyes light up when they understand what does JavaRebel do exactly and that there is no 200 MB download or 100 lines of configuration to write to make it work.
