[opensuse-summit] Artwork To-Do List
by Andy Silva 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Hello friends I put together a simple list of the artwork that needs to be done for the summit. I am not sure that it is a complete list but that's the reason why I am writing you all. These are the elements that are generally present in an artwork to do list for myself. This list is incomplete. So help me put it all together, that way I can work out a general design for all of them. Community Flyers Local Promotional Flyer (aimed for Florida) Attendee Badges Geeko Money openSUSE Pins openSUSE Pens Baseball Caps openSUSE T-shirts Bagpacks Thank you! -- Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-summit+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-summit+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-summit] Advertizing the locally using posters
by Robert Schweikert 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, Obviously just plastering posters with Summit logo across the world in Orlando is not going to be sufficient to spur interest. THus we might want to have a more or less catchy phrase to spark people's interest Also a QR code may be useful. Here are some proposals: 1.) """" Meet the Geekos Joins at the openSUSE Summit at Coronado Springs Resort, meet a Geeko, hang out, discuss, hack and enjoy good company. """" 2.) """" FOSS Unites at the Coronado Springs Resort Joins us at the openSUSE Summit for 2 days filled with exciting talks, hands on labs, and lots of fun. """" 3.) """" Software is everywhere The openSUSE Community is happy to invite you to the openSUSE Summit at the Coronado Springs Resort. Join us for hacking, discussing, and good company. """" It is assumed that the dates are already on the poster somewhere else, plus web site info and a QR code. Thoughts/Comments/Flames?

26 Sep '13

There was a summit org meeting today, unfortunately only Gilson and I were able to make it. Let me know if 1:00 P.M. EDT is just a bad time and what would work better. I'd like to have weekly meetings from not until the event to make certain we stay on track. Meeting ended Thu Sep 26 17:24:53 2013 UTC.

Lets stick to the $50 ticket price for individuals and $200 for the "Company tickets" ($200 == 5 professional i.e. $50 tickets). Gilson can you please talk with Jennifer and get the links into the SUSE shop. Andy, please incorporate a sentence or two about the professional tickets into the news.o.o article Gilson, once the ticktes are in the shop let me know the inks and I'll add something to summit.o.o As we will not sell 100 tickets, lets come up with a couple of games, to allow people to win 3 or 4 of these back packs. We could have a scavenger hunt and a trivia quiz. What else? I'll start two separate threads for this topic.

Are you ok with that? Yes I can do the math, it's like the raffle ticket sale strategy, get one extra to lower the price on the individual item and make it more appealing to spend more money.

[opensuse-summit] Night time activity suggestion
by Steven Dorries 21 Sep '13

OpenStreetMap has very good coverage of the WDW resort, but the eye level detail for the hotels isn't anywhere near the coverage that the parks have. Perhaps we could organize a mapping party to take care of the site we are at?

Hi, As another opportunity to win a backpack we could have a scavenger hunt, how would we organize this? Take pictures of certain things at the venue, first one wins, form teams up to 3? Other ideas for the scavenger hunt? Other ideas for games to win a backpack?

Heya, I just edited the summit article a bit more: https://news.opensuse.org/?p=16745&preview=true I think it is good to go if you could just add a bit about the theme, what kind of proposals we look for. Then it should GO GO GO :D maybe on Tuesday next week or so, I'll leave it up to Andy and Ancor to schedule (Ancor will help a bit with news.o.o while I'm on holiday the next two weeks) Hugs, Jos

Team, See below - the website seems to have an issue.
