[opensuse-conference] One page to rule them all
I've been thinking - and that's where it all went wrong, I know. So we're co-locating with other confs - 3 of them. And we (almost) have this nice all-in-one poster to show off that fact. It'd be nice to also have ONE URL to point people too! Something like 'bootstrapping-awesome.org' or so :d The site would be a one-page thing, just a static HTML with the poster with the four logo's and below a simple text like "4 conferences, 2 days, 1 place. All awesome!" (the poster has the place & dates already) Then each logo on the poster has a mouse-over effect giving a 10-word description of the event and upon clicking gets you to the website. This would sove the problem that I have no idea what link to put on the poster ATM :D Who likes it? If you do, how about someone with some admin powers tries to secure that URL and someone with a bit of HTML and script fu trows together the web page? Or not? /Jos (I go to bed now, ttyl tomorrow...)
I see two potential issues, but overall I'm in favor of a single URL as well. 1. Does the page link to each organization's conference infrastructure? (e.g. registration, CfP, etc.?) Or will all that functionality be combined? Different organizations might have different goals for how stuff is processed and/or any data-gathering that comes out of it. 2. Some might feel that with a single URL, we're diluting each organization, including our own. On Fri, 2012-05-18 at 02:28 +0200, Jos Poortvliet wrote:

No, keep everything separate. Just a link to our own pages. It's more like a landing page for people who got curious through the cool combined poster :D

THat's why I want to keep it real simple - a simple static one-page which links to each of the conference pages. in our case, the Geeko would link to conference.opensuse.org... /Jos

Please do, then. Having a more 'common' link, compared to the current one, would be awesome. I made a SVG you can use for the website. I know SVG can do stuff like mouse-over effects but I dunno how to do it... Maybe that'll be the easiest way to do this - have the site just as an svg which shows the grey boxes upon mouse-over. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/Tiled_poster_for_website.svg

Little issue, not everybody has the necessary fonts (I don't), so in this case, png might be actually better ;-) -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal@Hrusecky.net> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org

Lots of points for Michal: we've got http://bootstrapping-awesome.org up and running!
