OK. Just read it (well, most of it :-) ). So, I have a couple of questions:
- Here in Hungary I'm aware of four larger events for this year, and by local measures "larger" means 100+ visitors :-) Neither of them reach the magic 1k visitor number mentioned on the page, but the combined number is expected to be over 2k. What to do in this case?
For the first year, that means there won't be any materials from Nuremberg. However, you can use the travel program which has a Eur 100 budget per event to create things locally.
Good news, but where is it documented? I could not find it in the wiki...
I noticed it got removed from the wiki. I suggest you ask the travel support team.
Moreover, once the list I've created is more public we can discuss things like this. It might indeed make sense to send one box to Hungary, but then we have to ensure that the materials actually make it to these events. I'm at all the major (and minor) Hungarian events, as I'm the community guy of syslog-ng. And I maintain close contact with the Hungarian openSUSE / LibreOffice developers and a few more "core" Hungarian openSUSE users, so I can find backups if I can't participate an event.
I doubt it, I'm sorry. We will hopefully begin ordering materials by the end of this month but I don't expect anything to be send out before the end of June...
OK, even with slowest shipment it would arrive on time for Software Freedom Day, the first event in the Autumn.
Also, we'll use the slowest shipment options to limit the costs so I
don't think any event will have a box until after the openSUSE Conference. This all just takes a LOT of time and work.
Also, the question is if the events in Hungary are on the list of events we will support the coming 12 months. This list contains the events from our ambassador event wiki [1] as well as the events I was told about when I asked (several times) on the ambassador and marketing lists for help with making the list.
By the time you asked, I did not know exact dates or which conferences will be held this year. Now I talked with organizers, so even if the websites are not yet updated and final dates published I know that they will be there. I added them to the wiki page with as much details as currently available.
Once our plans are more concrete I'll see if I can add it to the list of our events.
So again, travel committee has budget. Use it, please.
OK, just please point me to a "howto"!
See above - pls ask the travel support team. I'm not sure what the situation is with this. I can point to my blog announcing it: http://blog.jospoortvliet.com/2012/06/improved-support-for-events.html I hope it helps. Hugs, J
Thanks for your help Bye, CzP
