Hi All, I got good news. The SUSE Marketing team is giving us 100 SUSE back packs to be used as a gift for the people who decide to contribute purchasing a ticket to help us out. I would suggest starting the ticket price around $30,00 since the cost of the back pack is $26 but I'm open to suggestions since this is the first time I'm helping with openSUSE Summit. What you think? -Gilson

Hi All,
In regards to the openSUSE Summit Tickets List, we might consider something similar to oSC13 we had in July.
First of all, are we going to allow partners to do some presentations? In case yes, the following ticket table I got from oSC13 brochure might work then.
Ticket List Suggestion
Oooops confusion.....
* GOLD Partner Logo on welcome banner, in main and secondary conf rooms 3 min talk time at closing Unlimited inserts in conference bag Up to 10 professional conference tickets Non exclusive sponsor video display at entrance
* Silver Logo in main and secondary conf rooms 2 min talk time at closing Unlimited inserts in conference bag Up to 6 professional conference tickets
* Bronze Logo in workshop rooms Up to 4 professional conference tickets
* Community Partner Booth space available free for Free/Open Source organizations
These are sponsor levels that is something different and work is on the way to detail the sponsor stuff possibly also having combined offers with oSC14
The basic premise is that everyone gets into the Summit for free. However, those that want to support the event by making a "small", $50 for example, financial contribution can buy a ticket. The ticket would need to be advertized through the SUSE shop.
In return for buying a ticket we will give those that buy one something "special" in recognition for the support back, obviously what we give back should cost us less than the price of the ticket ;) .
In the past we had supporter tickets for $50 and professional tickets for $200. The prices and names are probably still OK.
Question is what "special" stuff can we give those that buy supporter and professional tickets? Ideally we'd have stuff laying around in Provo that we can give away and doesn't cost the project anything. If we cannot get free stuff from SUSE marketing we need to come up with something that is reasonably cheap to produce/purchase.
We have recently approved trademark for clothing, maybe there is an avenue there to get something near cost.
In summary, see what you can get out of the Marketing folks to include as a token of recognition for ticket buyers or checkout stuff that is reasonable quality but also reasonable in price.
Also a professional ticket could be 5 supporter ticktes for example.
HTH, thanks, Robert
