Heya all, As I said before I've been talking to Andres 'anditosan' Silva about an openSUSE Conference logo. He pulled in Michael Fox and together this is what they came up with after a number of itterations: http://s1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/?action=view&current=oSC… The idea behind it is: - it's taken from Andy Warhol's famous Marilyn Monroe painting - new, fresh, groundbreaking art. If you steal, steal from the best etc ;-) Google it if you don't know it... - we can use this incarnation as our oSC artwork. But imagine replacing three of the four geeko's with a SUSE Labs logo, a Gentoo logo and a LinuxDays logo. Of course in that style. Then we have 4-in-1, showing the unity yet unique-ness of our 4 events-in-one. What do you think? Please keep artwork and these gents in CC when discussing this. /Jos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] Brochures and Other Paper related goodies from India
by Manu Gupta 15 May '12

Hi All, I just wanted to say if you are planning for getting brochures and other stuff printed, it can be done pretty cheap in India. So if anyone visits oSC this year in India, they can probably take it with them. ( I hope someone does go ). Maybe we can discuss other stuff too like stickers and all. The current price is around 25USD for a 1000 brochures. Let me know if this sounds an idea.

[opensuse-conference] openSUSE Conference venue

Hi, little update from negotiations. We found a way how to make it all work. It's not perfect, but according to my opinion doable. There is dormitory in the campus where they do have free space. They have conference room for 200 people, for 80 people and two rooms for 40 for workshops. We can rent this on Monday and Tuesday and spend the weekend at the University so we will have to move on Sunday evening/Monday morning. Currently it looks like these two days will cost us about 90-100k CZK < 4k EUR. I know it would be better to start alone and then have a big event all together, but unfortunately dormitory doesn't have enough free rooms on Thursday. On university we can take during weekend pretty much as much small rooms as we want, the rest will depend on how do we divide it with other two conferences. Costs for University is still unofficial (we were talking about 40k CZK ~ 1.6k Eur, final offer still in discussion). I believe it's still doable. And I still think that it will be awesome event. I'll try to meet with them and discuss stuff asap. Little downside, I'm leaving for conference in Wien next week and will be there whole week. Not sure whether I can actually sign anything on behalf of the company and what is still Okish from the budget point of view. Will go scouting the location and will try to meat with dean and dormitory manager to get at least some reservation before I'll leave, so will be sure that nobody will decide to have conference in the same time at same place before somebody will sign it on behalf of company. Now, even more downsides. We are talking about October 20-23. On 23rd PostreSQL conference Europe starts in Prague at different university (one day overlap, probably no big deal). From 18th to 21st there is Realtime Linux Workshop somewhere (probably no big issue for us either). And on 20/21st there should be GSoC Mentor summit if I'm not mistaken (two people from each open source project not able to come to our conference). So any objections, comments, better solutions, flying stones, UFOs, whatever? -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net>
