Since there have been some changes to the poster idea. Please let us
know what's in your minds. Also, have a clear cut message. Way, if you
need us to work on something, we know what direction to go.

Basically I am asking the thread to define their request and have us
work on it, if necessary.

Thanks

Andy (anditosan)

Andi has made a (for now) final version of the poster. It is in Github
- for
anyone who thinks he/she can improve it further :D

Link to a small render:

Got some feedback:

a) Gentoo logo doesn't fit that well with the rest, it's too plastic/3D.
  On artwork page is a plain variant, but actually I think what you did
in
  mockup made it fit more. We can maybe use Larry the cow, which would
       fit, but some people might not get it.

b) if it is meant as a general poster to promote whole conference, it
  shouldn't say in big letters openSUSE conference

that is because having the conferences together does not have a common
theme. It would have been wiser to talk to these other committees
about their ideas on their own conferences. Putting these logos
together might probably not do justice to the other group's intentions
and ideas about their own conferences. Hopefully they understand what
we tried to do. However, if changes are needed, we can make them.


So far they like the idea, with two minor points I pointed out on top.
The idea behind the poster is great and nobody spoke against it. The
thing they didn't like is that the text is openSUSE specific, so they
can't use it without change for their promotion as well, so what's the
point in having common poster than. If openSUSE Conference text wouldn't
be the main theme and maybe even dates would get a little bit adjusted
to refer to the part we have all in common... We can have extended dates
on our own poster - the other one with just geeko. Or write common dates
and mention that SUSE part is continuing...

I can try my Inkscape skills on sources, but don't believe in them much
;-)

Regarding dates, I'd propose to use the superset of the conferences, not
the cross-section.

Ok, they complained mainly about the big openSUSE Conference title in
the middle, nobody mentioned dates (yet), I just noticed and added them
to the list of complains, but I'm ok with using superset.

Hey Michael, it sounds like you are doing some artwork. U want to take it on
your own to do it? If so, just make sure that you own the roghts to the back
picture that u placed there. After that everything is cool.

Please work on the poster and submit it to git. Propose the idea to the team
and get it passed.
