[opensuse-conference] Badge ID Proposal
by Andy anditosan 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Hello I took a little time to create an idea for a badge. Please let me know if it works and what else can be added. I read on Trello that an idea is to have an A4 folded into parts with more data about the conference. Is there an old model that I can tweak?

[opensuse-conference] Twitter Background Proposal
by Andy anditosan 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hello again Here is a Twitter background proposal to promote the conference. This Twitter background is meant to "pop" and also plug in to the deep blue from Greece's flag. Although Thessaloniki may not have the ruins featured on this image, I think it makes people think "Greece." Please check it out!

[opensuse-conference] Printing things for FOSDEM
by Jos Poortvliet 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Heya, For those of you curious as to how the poster stuff worked out, here's a link to the zip file with to-be-printed materials I send to Agustin: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/print.zip (warning: 36 mb, pls don't all download it and block my dropbox account - you probably know what's in there as it is also in github) In short, it contains: * Anditosan's openSUSE Conference poster * VictorHck's openSUSE 12.3-is-coming poster * Carlos' oSC13 folding Cube * Carlos' oSC13 folding Tux Note that the credits are a bit arbitrary as everyone worked on these designs collaboratively, so thanks to all of those who contributed in words and deeds ;-) It is now up to Agustin to decide how much we can print of all these - which of course depends on budget. Have a nice day and cu later, Jos

[opensuse-conference] artwork for FOSDEM
by Jos Poortvliet 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Heya, Alberto (SUSE employee at the openSUSE team) has tested printing some of the poster proposals as well as the folding cube and tux that Carlos proposed. I then had a chat with Agustin about the budget possibilities. The results: * ChamaleonBust_white - PERFECT http://wstaw.org/m/2013/01/21/ChameleonBust_white.png Needs feedback - it's simple to print but I'm guessing nobody likes it much... Should we bother with this one? https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/OpenSUSECube02 * cube - Colors are good, the size is really small on a4 Needs updating for oSC and (later) for openSUSE 12.3 ;-) http://paste.opensuse.org/60269859 * tux - small, colors ok. size needs to be a3 like cube. Needs updating for oSC and oS 12.3 (later) http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/Poster4_zps3db5ca16.png * poster4 Nearly perfect. Dark, but no dust or granularity in the background We can print them if you're all OK with it. https://plus.google.com/photos/104830275042059445407/albums/583344710543983… * poster.png (white tower) - Colors are ok, the background has some dust, is granular and not as smooth as in the image. Needs a bit of updating: lighter image, smoother? We can print everything and we have budget for say 2x10 big and 2x20 small posters and a nice bunch of folding things (say 100 or so of each). What we need now is final versions of everything to be printed by SUNDAY, Jan 27 24:00. Carlos, if you can update the cube and tux things with an oSC design, maybe andi and/or others have ideas on how and what - then we can print those. I do need SVG versions in A3/A4 so we can generate the right PDF's in terms of size and CMYK etc requirements... Andi, Poster4 is perfect so we can print those. I saw some want it more greenish and all - you fight it out and send me a SVG on A3 format by the deadline and I'll get it printed ;-) Tell me if we should print the white one. For a postcard I think the 'summer is coming' from Carlos is incredibly cool: http://wstaw.org/m/2013/01/24/Summer-is-coming_05.jpg It's black and white, I'm sure we can print it. But it, too, needs svg... And postcard size. So my proposal is: * Andi finishes and sends the poster he designed to me * Carlos talks to others here and works with them to update the folding thingies with oSC artwork. Separate openSUSE 12.3 artwork versions and a new OBS one we keep for later :D * Carlos cleans up the summer-is-coming and gets me a SVG of that for postcards * I make sure it all gets printed * we have a big, virtual grouphug at FOSDEM about this :D What about it, can we make oSC promo kick ass at FOSDEM? /Jos

While working on the conference announcement some of us have learned that the Sponsorship brochure constitutes a legal offer and thus form the basis of a legally binding contract. This implies that the sponsorship brochure will need legal review and approval.

I would say we should keep our fingers out of the "recruiting game". There's nothing wrong with us providing a central location for people to post jobs and resumes with contact info and advertize the "jobs board".

I figured we can have a sign in each room that shows the logos of our sponsors. I learned after I modified the document that this ends up as a legally binding document and thus the more casual approach we have taken so far will probably not fly.

[opensuse-conference] Sponsorship brochure needed
by Robert Schweikert 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Hi all, With the motto, logo, theme, and other discussion we kind of let the work on a Sponsorship brochure slip through the cracks :( . Now we are a bit behind the 8 ball and as work on the conference announcement has progressed we just had a big "oh sh..." moment. Thus, this is an urgent call for one or more volunteers to crank out a Sponsorship brochure. The logo is in the bag, thus, there should be little artwork required to put the brochure together. Requirements: - Follow the basic ideas used for oSC11 and oSC12 - Put everything together and make it look nice in short order - After the initial draft is complete send things to this list for some feedback - Ask for help if you get stuck, we do not have much time Who is up to the challenge, please, please, please Thanks -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead rjschwei(a)suse.com rschweik(a)ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

Good point, yes... Carlos, Andi, you think you can get me these pieces of artwork by Sunday: - a "summer is coming", looking as much as possible like http://bit.ly/WkpIOw on postcard format; - a less dark version of the white tower picture - tux and/or cube (pick one if you have no time for both) updated to either openSUSE Conference or to openSUSE 12.3 I know I am asking for a lot... But right now, we have some very-cool- almost-done ideas and it would be great if we can turn that into very-cool- and-done ideas :D Hugs, Jos > Henne

[opensuse-conference] Greek magazine (Linux Inside), they are interested to promote the conference
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hello, I wrote also on Trello for that. The only Linux magazine in Greece called Linux Inside (http://www.linuxinside.gr) want to promote the conference. They want to promote it because it's their job to promote such events, even if we don't add their logo somewhere. Unfortuntely the editor is kind of busy due to family issues, so he told me that we can have what ever we want. We can write 1-2 articles (they can give us 4-6 pages) to present the conference. We can have also interviews (he can send by mail the questions). We just have to contact him. Of course we're free to add anything on the first page (http://www.linuxinside.gr). Articles, banners etc. Take care, Stathis -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] The conference announcement - URGENT
by Jos Poortvliet 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi all, After hours of discussion and writing on IRC, we've discovered that there is not really any other sensible way to release articles about the conference than this way: * First the announcement of the conference, with time and date and a link to the website (just a front page) and info about the location and all that. That should go on Wednesday: https://news.opensuse.org/?p=14908&preview=true This will require URGENT help from the local team: YOU will have to write about Thessaloniki (you can take from Wikipedia...) and especially about the local community - yourselves ;-) Some history, local events and other stuff that's interesting would be very good. * Then, we'll announce the CfP together with the opening of registration later: https://news.opensuse.org/?p=15001&preview=true This includes a mention that the travel committee will provide support (the rules etc can be announced separately) and also has a call for sponsors (so the sponsorship brochure should be done by then). That article we will promote widely. Meanwhile, the most urgent stuff is the info about the Greekos ;-) Please get something in that article! Pretty pictures are helpful, too. /Jos

[opensuse-conference] oSC13 Theme
by Henne Vogelsang 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hey, before we, in the promo team, can get anything done we need a theme and motto for the conference. It's the starting point for everything: Logo, website, posters etc. The motto should reflect what we emphasize at oSC13 and the theme should reflect how oSC13 will feel. To explain what I mean look at the last couple of events we held: * oSC12 Motto: Bootstrapping Awesome. We emphasized bootstrapping a new Linux event in the Czech republic. Theme: Urban, Big City, Prague monuments * Summit 2012 Motto: Engage! Collaborate! Invigorate! Emphasizing the hope to build a new American openSUSE community. Theme: Summer, Tropical, Beach * oSC11 Motto: RWX³. Everyone is able to do everything. We emphasize doing things together instead of just talking. Theme: Retro, Old Factory This wasn't always a very conscious decision so this year I would like to make it one. What are we going to emphasize this year and how will oSC13 feel? My personal suggestion would be: Motto: Power to the Geeko. A variant of "Power to the People" [1]. Emphasize the empowerment that you so easily get in openSUSE. Theme: Politics, Greek Democracy, Greece What do you think?

[opensuse-conference] Some artwork during Fosdem to attract people to oSC'13
by Carlos Ribeiro 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Kostas, I really love the idea to have t-shirts about oSC3 during Fosdem. What do you think about to have some other things cute and interesting plus t-shirt in the openSUSE booth during Fosdem to try to attract more people to came and visit the booth (fosdem) also to remind everyone about the conference. Some examples: - Tux Paper https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/OpenSUSETuxPaper - openSUSE Cube, each side could be a message why to be at oSC´13 https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/OpenSUSECube02 - Stickers - to be clue on each DVD sent, with something like this "To learn more, came and joying the geekos at the next Conference in Greece" A sticker is good idea too, I believe is easy to do, and quite inexpensive too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] Venue of oSC13
by Stella Rouzi (differentreality) 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

During the last conference meeting there were a couple of questions regarding the venue and people wanted a more detailed presentation of the venue. So here it is: Olympic Museum (not really a museum though, in fact it's designed specifically for the purpose of hosting conferences - and to promote athletics and olympics too), just next to the heart of Thessaloniki. Map: http://goo.gl/maps/q5QEl Ground Floor: - Entrance, where we can set up the registration desk. [It also has 2-3 screens. Maybe we can run some of our own videos/photos there.] - Cafeteria which we can choose if we want to be open during the conf - [left side as we enter building] Amfitheater of 280 people, equipped with 3 mics for speaker(s), 2 wireless mics for questions, speakers, projector, 2 cams, podium - [right side as we enter building] Room of 60 people, equipped with 1 mic for speaker, 1 mic for attendees, speakers, projector, tables and chairs. - Layout available (this is only ground floor): https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7s3udvhgGFdd1pleElIdmozTGM/edit 1rst Floor: - Room of 80 people, equipped with 1 mic for speaker, 1 mic for attendees, speakers, projector, chairs and tables (if we only use chairs we can accommodate up to 120 people) - Room of 15 people equipped with tables and chairs All areas have good air conditioning system. The venue can also provide us with extension cords for electricity (so that we can have some electrical strips for attendees to plug in their laptops while attending a presentation). Internet is something we are working on. On Friday or coming Monday I should have more news as we are meeting at the venue on Thursday afternoon to examine possibilities.

[opensuse-conference] Conference website - first version :D

I've prepared a first version of the conference. If somebody gives me write access to https://github.com/openSUSE/conference.o.o (github account: jospoortvliet) then I'll push and we have something which is VERY far from done but in terms of text ready to be pushed. The logo is there as well. The only todo left is the page banner artwork (aaandiiiii!!!) - after that, it can already go live as first version... I deserve some hugs, don't I? ;-) /Jos

Hello all I remember that when I helped with some events over here in Brazil, especially Latinoware, I spend lots of time creating some papers and details as a recognition gift for everyone that has helped to make Latinoware was a big and such nice event for the openSUSE project. So I would like to share with you guys, in case you wishes to do something similar for the oSC3 - Welcome letter and thing to remember for everyone that has joined as speaker or ontributor to the event/booth https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/Ambassador#5546169276813… - Certification of participation https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/Ambassador#5546168497599… - Geeko Money that could be give away during talks to everyone in the auditorion or room, to let they change for something at booth (to be honest we neve take money back. Itś just to have fun, and give an special gift to remember about our speakers. https://picasaweb.google.com/104830275042059445407/Ambassador#5546168834028… CarlosRibeiro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org
