posters or banner for the North American Event Box

2010-04-29 Thread Ben Konrath
Hi,

I'm going to be running the GNOME Booth at Idlelo 4 [1] in a couple of
weeks. I would like to print a couple of vinyl posters or a vinyl
banner for use at the conference. After the conference is over I'm
going to send the posters or banner to the North American event box.
(I'm currently based in Toronto, Canada that's why I'm being NA
centric).

I initially thought that the current posters [2] would work well blown
up as conference posters but now I'm thinking a banner might be
better. What do people think? If we decide to go with a banner, I'll
probably need some help creating it as I'm not too graphically
inclined.

I'm heading out to Idlelo on May 12th so I'd like to have this sorted
out in about a week so that I have time to get things printed.

Thanks, Ben

Congratulations, you just made a sale!  Although I think its kinda
pricey for a t-shirt  (Paid $32.95 plus shipping) so I hope a good
portion of that goes to GNOME.

Thanks for the steps.

This part of the Zazzle site isn't that intuitive but any of the designs
can be bought on any kind of shirt.

* Select the Freedom Lover Ladies shirt
* Under "Choose your style and color" select from Men, Women, Kid, Baby
or See All (I selected Men)
* Now choose from all the different styles of shirts
* Price will change depending on which shirt you choose
* Purchase

I'd like to second this.  Is there any reason we can't offer each
design in both men's and women's styles?

Also a big fan of the Freedom Lover shirt.

I agree its too early yet to make a determination.  Plus, personally,
when i went to the Store, I wasn't all that crazy about the selections
especially with the price associated with it.   But these banners and
other forms of advertising the store should leverage some of the things
Zazzle is offering.  For example, right now they're having a 50% off
shipping for Mother's Day sale.  We should be promoting that and
spreading the word.

The one that I really liked and would have bought in an instant was the
Freedom Lover t-shirt.  But it apparently is only sold as a women's
shirt.

On another note, we should be spreading the word about the Amazon GNOME
store too.  I didn't realize until now that we had such a thing and I
feel a bit chagrined as I've spent hundreds at Amazon in the last few
months and it would have been nice to funnel a few of those dollars
towards GNOME.

That's funny.  I made a conscious decision when joining Friends of
GNOME to opt-out of the t-shirt to save the foundation some money, and
now I find I can't even buy it!  :-P

We made a conscious decision *not* to sell the GNOME Love shirt as
Friends of GNOME donors get that shirt after one year of monthly
donations.

Those who donate get the best shirt.  :)

Paul

PS - It's April, my one year is up, I can't wait for my GNOME Love
shirt.  :)

I have located a rent-able "green screen". It's 60 € (~$80) + taxes
per 1-day use

As far as I understood it's similar to this one:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/soapcreative/2422246369/
,which is, a standing foot with a horizontal bar and a *blue* curtain
(important for the clothes)

I will have to know which could be the recording date to ask for these
resources at a certain date :)

Apart from this, still looking for a stage and lighting

Kind regards,
