Hi Jos,
Although I don't have the time to take on many of these tasks, I would like help where/when possible.

Heya folks,
For oSC 2012 we need some of your creativity…
Can you point me/us to more info about the event? I realize that all the "insiders" know but googling for "oSC 2012" returned nothing of use. It might seem trivial but I think that it would help anyone working on the design to get some background info on where/when/what. If there are no "good" links online perhaps a short explanation?
conference.opensuse.org should give you all you need...
List of things: - We already have a nice website/blog banner (although a few more sizes would be nice) - count down graphic!!! - t-shirt design which works for all 4 confs (LD/Gentoo/oS/S) - a t-shirt variation for the organizing team with something like "how can this Tux help you" or "Ask me about Penguins!" or so (funny = bonuspoints) - design for on a conference bag (also cross-conference pls) - a cool cross-conference logo in b/w and/or 2-3 colors which can go on a conference beer mug.
Naturally, we will need sizes/format/printer info on each of the above. I realize that, most likely, not everything is set in stone but when it comes to printing t-shirts and banners it is best to know the details in advance.
We have no idea if we will have physical banners (with banner I meant the stuff on websites) but a SVG design is usually relatively easy to adapt. The t-shirts - well, we're open for anything. Of course sizes should be all (from small to XXL) - and having girly shirts is a good idea, too...
As designer you get a beer mug and a conference team t-shirt, even if you even if you can't make it to the conf. Even if you live in the Himalaya's and I have to fly it to you myself :D (and if money is why you can't make it to oSC, maybe we can do something about that. But that goes for all of you, t-shirt or not. Talk to me or ask the travel support team)
Thanks a lot in advance and hugs soon, Jos
