Re: [rsa-interop-demo] New designs for the RSA Interop booth (2115)

[Tony Cox <tony.cox@cryptsoft.com>]

Hi Jane,

Feedback from my perspective:

• Differs quite significantly from the design agreed by vote by the participants
  
• There are still seats included despite feedback provided that there should be no seats at all (as per previous years and as per the design agreed by vote by the participants)
• The layout agreed was specifically designed to provide visibility between vendors whilst minimizing obstruction of flow between pods. The proposed design draft has a range of items that basically preclude this:
• Solid backs on monitor stands - one of the design elements from your original four proposals that absolutely opens up the sense of community has now been lost
  
• Larger monitors (the consensus was that 24" was sufficient for individual pods)
• The actual pod layout is very different (a shield shape replaced with a U-shape)
  
• The central pillar should not be there
• We had decided on two monitor towers as we have two TCs on the booth and need a clearer separation between the messaging for the PKCS#11 interop showcase and the KMIP interop demonstration (and for the OASIS representation as well)
  
• The OASIS bench (although it looks great) will disrupt the flow in the current configuration
• The single monitor behind a desk blocking the left/right traffic flow will be very ineffective - the agreed design deliberately separated out the displays and OASIS presence from the collection of pods while allowing traffic low
  

We worked hard as a group to try to incorporate elements from the original designs as proposed and it seems some of the excellent ideas from those original designs that were incorporated in the four options that went into the vote have not been retained.

In my opinion, if we are going to redesign the booth again, this should be taken to a formal ballot as the current design is simply sufficiently different to not actually represent any of the options previously presented for a vote.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

I finally received the revised designs back from our contractor. Please find supporting diagrams and photos attached for your review.

Fortunately, the contractor was able to accommodate the same monitor size along with the new dimensions for the counters. They will remain at 32". Unfortunately, we are not able to fit two large video monitor in the new design (per the request). So, only one is reflected in the new design. (As a reminder, these video monitors were requested to run slides outlining the KMIP and PKCS11 demonstrations (one per demonstration).

So, we'd like to hear from the group on what to do with the existing video monitor. Our options include:

1.) Delete the video component entirely and use the fund for something else -- i.e. PKCS11/KMIP designed booth giveaway, other. 

2.) Run both videos on the one screen -- alternating as needed. With this options, we would suggest deleting the OASIS front counter, so the video monitor could be more accessible.

Please circulate your feedback to the list. Our deadline to send any final adjustments to the contractor is Tuesday, 20 Dec (12:00 PM ET).

Thanks so much, Jane
