[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

Re: [opensuse-conference] Sponsorship brochure needed

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 think Jos is working on that part. > > > I am told that Michal is the person that can take care of printing it > > > as soon as it is ready.

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". But, IMHO, we should not take the role of active facilitator. > > > > > > Other than that, I need some help with the text of the brochure. > > > > > > 1. Do sponsors actually give 10k?

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. I suspect we will need to spell out at each level exactly what a sponsor gets. > > At first I thought it was the video part playing at the entrance of > > the venue but that's No 9. > > -- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org > <mailto:opensuse-conference%2Bunsubscribe@opensuse.org> > > To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org > <mailto:opensuse-conference%2Bowner@opensuse.org> > > > > Hey all, > > I'll work on brochure tonight. > > The plan is to have ready to print on Thursday afternoon. > > I didn't like much how it is but I will try my best to keep into 2 pages > to assure 1 peace of paper. > > @Stella deal? > > For later... > @Robert can you correct my engish mistakes? I'll be happy to review. However, keep in mind that we might end up with something completely different.

[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
