Hey Andres, We chatted a bit on IM a few days ago about getting some swag for SCALE. You said you would find out a little more info as to what the quantity was from last year's event. I just want to follow up with you and see where we are on that... Also, I have CC'd this message to the openSUSE-Ambassadors mailing list so we can keep this process a little more open. If you could also CC your response here, that would be a great help.

As I was the one who arranged for all the supplies for the booth last year, including swag, I can give some insight here. First of all, it should be realized that what we spent on last year was pretty much a one-time thing specifically meant to heighten visibility and bring in new community locally. That you're stepping up to do this is proof the investment worked. In addition to the investment made, there are also budget cuts over the past year since that time, which affects our ability to ship the full gamut of booth gear we had in the past: SUSE Studio Kiosk - This was exorbitantly expensive but well budgeted last year by the Events Coordination group at Novell. That's no longer possible. 42" Plasma TV - Also not feasible this year Backdrop - This needs to be requested early in advance so the Events Coordination can be sure it is not used by some other event. I believe Alan was scrambling yesterday to find out if it can be shipped since apparently no one was inquired about getting the backdrop. T-Shirts - Inspired by our actions at FOSDEM, we mirrored the same at several events since then including SCaLE where we sold the t-shirts and donated the funds to event (in this case SCaLE.) We had about 120 shirts and raised somewhere around $500 iirc. Keep in mind we "lose" money doing this but we gained in good relations with the event. Because we gave such support to SCaLE, SCaLE later promoted openSUSE during its roadtrips around Southern California. Jos will have to fill us in on whether we can continue doing that, but as it was quite a financial outlay for us including shipping, I'm doubtful we can do it in the same quantity as the past. More than likely you might get fewer shirts which can be given out rather sparingly. Penguins: We gave out LOTS. We gave out the larger-sized Penguins that we normally don't give out. We were in fact depleting the stock that Novell had for these large penguins. I have no idea whether Provo has restocked on any of the plushies since then. Obviously people want plushies and many were stopping by just to get a plushie and run. It got to the point where I would playfully bribe them by telling them they can get a free Penguin if they donate $5 for tshirt to SCaLE or another line I tried was You can have a penguin if you promise to also take a DVD home and install openSUSE. :-) It did work as people appreciated the humor in it and they willingly then took me up on those offers and we were able to deplete our supply much faster. Travel Electrical Outlets: I believe we had about 200 of these. Though I believe this was also end-of-stock in Provo. People liked them and asked for them and we thought we ran out of them quickly but then someone discovered an extra box at the end of the show. Ay yi yi. :-) The Weird Walkman Wrap: This is something we seemingly can't get rid of for years now. No one wants them. I only used them as cake decorations on launch party cake. That's about it. :-) Print Materials: Everything we printed was generally adhoc created that week during the hackfest. We didn't have formal brochures or anything and as far as I know, we don't have anything printed in the stockroom these days. DVDs: Most important :-) As this was just before 11.4 was launched, we had the remaining stock (1,000+ iirc) shipped to L.A. I believe we gave out about 500 and we also gave about 2-3 boxes to LUG groups that requested them so they could give out to their next meetings. In addition, we printed up labels to put on the DVDs about where to upgrade to 11.4 upon release date. As the formula generally goes, you want to figure about 1/3 of expected attendance at an event for supplies. So SCaLE was about 1500 attendees, and 500 handouts was about right. But if you anticipate more events in the year, order a bit more so you can have a leftover supply to use elsewhere. That's the best I can remember off the top of my head. I'm wishing everyone who is going to SCaLE the best of success and look forward to hearing more about it afterward. In fact, I would encourage, once you have all your details nailed, that you submit an article to news.o.o so we can advertise and get more people to visit SCaLE and openSUSE booth. Someone on the marketing team can help with writing that if you don't feel up to it, but just be sure to include bullet points of your plans for the weekend. Thanks for your hard work!

Bryen, Thanks you so much for that very detailed and clear reply. So, according to Andi, it looks like we wont have any shirts for SCALE this year. I spoke with Stephen Shaw yesterday and he said he will talk to someone at SUSE for me and see what they can get together in the way of swag. I have not spoken with him yet this morning but I am sure he and I will talk later and I will update on the mailing list. As far as the backdrop goes... I didn't even think about that! I will try to find out more about the status on that from Alan. I guess if we have to do without it it's not really much of an issue, however I do think it would be a nice touch to have it. It's funny how you mentioned the "Travel Electrical Outlets" and how there was a bunch left over after the event last year. I took most of those home with me and I have given quite a few out at school and other Linux or tech events I have gone to (mostly LUG's and such). I still have some I could bring with me back to SCALE this year, however, they say Novell on them... that might confuse some people but I am more than willing to bring them. What do you think? Above ALL, I want to make sure we can get plenty of promo DVD's to give out. I am VERY proud of 12.1 and am looking forward to sharing it with interested people at the event. I know I am not the only one who feels that way and, it seems like we are going to have a great group of people at SCALE this year... I have a feeling that last years investment into SCALE will continue to pay off.

Bryen,

Alan is now on this list and he's usually the go-between guy for us. Let's let him report back what can be given to you guys and I believe Alan is planning to go as well.

...

As far as the backdrop goes... I didn't even think about that! I will try to find out more about the status on that from Alan. I guess if we have to do without it it's not really much of an issue, however I do think it would be a nice touch to have it.

The backdrop is only available in the US and usually only available if an employee is also attending the event, due to the expensive cost of the panels. It's guarded pretty zealously, until Alexia has confidence that the product will be well cared for. So, we don't advertise it all that much, but try to include it wherever possible. The backdrop should definitely be included in SCaLE. Traditionally, openSUSE is given prime real estate on the exhibit floor with a nice corner slot. Take a look at the placement of other distros and you'll see we have a nice positioning. As such, the corner space should look professional rather than just a few posters stuck on the curtain. In any case, an effort is underway to get you that backdrop. :-) While we're at it, I should mention that some of us have been pushing to update the panels on the backdrop since its pretty outdated now. But we haven't seen a pickup from anyone with artwork expertise to design the four new panels (which can actually be vinyl banners much cheaper). If you guys could take a moment to study it while you're there and come back with recommended ideas for new panels, that would be AWESOME.

...

It's funny how you mentioned the "Travel Electrical Outlets" and how there was a bunch left over after the event last year. I took most of those home with me and I have given quite a few out at school and other Linux or tech events I have gone to (mostly LUG's and such). I still have some I could bring with me back to SCALE this year, however, they say Novell on them... that might confuse some people but I am more than willing to bring them. What do you think?

So the mystery of the missing box is now solved. :-) After the show, someone on the team claimed the box to take back home but then I found out weeks later the box went missing before that person could take them. I just figured wherever it ended up it is put to good use, and obviously you've done that. :-) Now for the other mystery, who the heck left their size 8 shoes in our hotel room. No one has claimed them. LOL

...

Above ALL, I want to make sure we can get plenty of promo DVD's to give out. I am VERY proud of 12.1 and am looking forward to sharing it with interested people at the event. I know I am not the only one who feels that way and, it seems like we are going to have a great group of people at SCALE this year... I have a feeling that last years investment into SCALE will continue to pay off.

I don't think that will be a problem. As I understand it, the shipment of DVDs arrived in Provo recently so its ready for distribution to all points around. Again, I'm wishing you all the best of success this year and looking forward to hearing more about it when it is done. You guys are a great bunch of folks and openSUSE is sure to be well-represented!

Hey Drew, Thank you for your (Chuck's and everyone's) efforts to pull all this together.

...

Thanks you so much for that very detailed and clear reply. So, according to Andi, it looks like we wont have any shirts for SCALE this year. I spoke with Stephen Shaw yesterday and he said he will talk to someone at SUSE for me and see what they can get together in the way of swag. I have not spoken with him yet this morning but I am sure he and I will talk later and I will update on the mailing list.

I don't have any openSUSE labeled SWAG. I have gathered about 70 SUSE shirts and a bunch of compact LED flashlights. Not enough to hand out to all attendees so think about how best to decide who and how to hand these out.

...

As far as the backdrop goes... I didn't even think about that! I will try to find out more about the status on that from Alan. I guess if we have to do without it it's not really much of an issue, however I do think it would be a nice touch to have it.

I can grab the openSUSE backdrop. How large is the booth? We need at least 8 feet. Stephen and I were discussing the Kiosk. Should we bring that as well? It's a great way to show the flexibility of openSUSE and it is amazing how it draws people to the booth - much more than a regular computer monitor. (I'll need to look into the feasibility for shipping) Did we get wired internet with the booth or just wireless? (If we bring the kiosk, I have a some USB sticks that we can use to burn peoples custom images) Last year we also had the "What's cool with openSUSE" poster and flyers. Do we have an updated flyer that we could print and handout?

...

Above ALL, I want to make sure we can get plenty of promo DVD's to give out. I am VERY proud of 12.1 and am looking forward to sharing it

We just received the shipment of 12.1 DVDs in Provo. I'll grab 300? of those.

...

with interested people at the event. I know I am not the only one who feels that way and, it seems like we are going to have a great group of people at SCALE this year... I have a feeling that last years investment into SCALE will continue to pay off.

I'm very confused about who's going to be helping this year. I'm sure part of the confusion is on my part - suseROCKS helped me realize today that I wasn't on the ambassador mail list though I thought I was. Guess I should ask if you need/want my help as well - I'd love to come join the fun, but don't want to get in the way. May I also propose that you begin some type of 'sign-up sheet' so that the booth duties can be spread around? We'd all like to plan to attend some sessions. regards, Alan Clark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner@opensuse.org

My assumption is that you'd want more than 300 dvds. The conference is growing rapidly, but also some of the local lugs and schools typically try to pick up media for events and/or students.

If memory serves me correctly, we gave out about 1000+ DVDs last year. But we're dealing with failing memory too. :-) 300 is too conservative given the size of SCaLE, in my opinion. Count on 600 at the very least. Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner@opensuse.org

I *might* still have that poster in storage in San Diego, although I can't be certain.

Drew,

if you want DVDs for the event, use the promodvd order page - and please do so quickly, time is running out, it takes a few days to send stuff anyware,
