Hey Folks, I really like the rwx3 idea and made a Conference Logo/Artwork based on it: Grey on Grey: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/294274/oS-Conf-2011/rwx3-Conf-Logo-GreyGrey.png RGB: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/294274/oS-Conf-2011/rwx3-Conf-Logo-RGB.png So far, Robert On 24.04.2011, at 06:37, Bryen M.

Folks,

I'm sending this to both the marketing and artwork mailing lists as an action item from the openSUSE Conference Program Committee's last meeting.

In a nutshell, we have two names proposed for the Conference: "Collaboration Across Borders II" and "rwxrwxrwx" (or rwx3) which is a play on the read-write-execute permissions of the Linux file systems. While the Program Committee will ultimately choose which one to select, we felt it was fair to talk to both the marketing and artwork teams to hear which ones you consider more feasible for marketability.

To the Marketing Team: Think about what would be the pros and cons of marketing the conference for each of the names.

For the artwork team: Think about the potential designs you could work with for each name. E.g. t-shirts, posters, banners. You can even do mockups if you wish, but please don't spend a lot of time making up design proposals because I wouldn't want to see your work go to waste if we go a different way.

You can read my thoughts on the naming choices for some personal insight on my blog at http://www.bryen.com/whats-in-a-name/. And I would suggest also reading Yaloki's summary (and meeting log) to get a fuller idea of our own pros and cons for each name. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2011-04/msg00333.html

I'll gather up your thoughts and concerns and present them to the team at our next meeting this Thursday.

Thanks teams!

Collaboration Across Borders despite is repetitive but meaningful too. If you add something meaningful like "Collaboration Across Borders: defining a new frontier" or whatever is thematic variation. Inclusive "Collaboration Across Borders: rwx3" is better than just "rwx3 "or just "Collaboration Across Borders". Just "rwx3" does not add power enough to be marketable. So a balanced mix of words and symbols make some sense here.

I love Bruno idea, power³. I am tried of the Collaboration Across Borders. rwx³ would lose the any meaning if you have to explain it. Plus, to the avg geek, would see at read, write, and excute to the the power of 3 anyway. power³ is just that, POWER! -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it!

I don't think Bruno suggested that, he just said he would prefer the 3 as a real power-sign, which I would agree on.

I am tried of the Collaboration Across Borders. Hmmm.

rwx³ would lose the any meaning if you have to explain it. As already said, it's just an eyecatcher and headline, and should have some coolness, making people curious and motivate to talk about.

power³ is just that, POWER! I would associate it with a new fuel at an average Shell station honestly. That is to general, it's like if you would headline the conference "Software". I wouldn't vote for it.

That's nice, but I would change 3 to: XXX X XX X XXX to make it more obvious. Also on RGB version it is kind of hard to recognize, how would it look if it was a little bit darker?

So far,

Thats a funny idea! Will play with it.

to make it more obvious. Also on RGB version it is kind of hard to recognize, how would it look if it was a little bit darker?

The 3 in the RGB version is white = the sum of RGB. But its hard to read on the light background. I played around with a gradient instead of a solid light-grey background. An other idea is to make it black/dark. But that would kill the "at the end everything will be white" ... :-/ ... I play around with it. Cheers, Robert

wow, I really like that, I think thats a great starting point for the conference T-Shirt - or a T-Shirt at all.

Thanks,

+++1 for the T-Shirt with that Le Motiff

Awesome, I love it! Replace Novell with Attachmate and all is well :D On the subject of the openSUSE Conference theme (the name should obviously just be 'openSUSE Conference'): I personally feel rwx³ or rwxrwxrwx are quite geeky. I'm afraid many journalists will simply not care for it - which in turn gives us less press coverage. Collaboration Across Borders worked extremely well in this area - the media loved it and hence we got a lot of coverage. Of course our own community will like rwx³ but - we don't have to sell the oSC to them but to people who aren't a part of our communit yet ;-) Now I don't want to make a big deal out of this, the artwork Robert did is pretty neath imho and I'd love a t-shirt with that. Just like what Helen did, btw. But let's wait a bit until the location is announced - one of the options (which I hope turns out to be possible) would offer opportunities for an entirely different and cooler conference slogan :D

Why not SUSE as it is a separate business unit which is sponosring us?

Yes, or that. I don't know what the policy will be... IOW what Attachmate/SUSE wants in this regard. I would surely advocte to use the SUSE brand for sponsoring, of course.
