plan for the EclipseCon GNOME booth

[Ben Konrath <ben bagu org>]

Hi,

Now that my plans for the EclipseCon GNOME booth have solidified a 
little, I just wanted to run them by this list to get some comments or 
suggestions.

I going to get these three posters professionally printed and have them 
on display:

                                                       spelling mistake)

I might even get them printed on something that won't get damaged in 
transit so that I can pass them on to other people running such booths 
in the future.

I'd also like to print out a flyer that I can hand out to people at the 
conference. I found this one on the Marketing Material page:

but I'd like to have something more colourful. I noticed that the images 
on the front page of gnome.org are kinda slick (nice colours and 
graphics, simple and to the point slogan: "Power Combined"). 
Unfortunately, I'm not a graphics whiz and I don't really have time to 
make up a little flyer based on those images. If somebody feels like 
lending a hand, that would be cool.

As far as the demo DVD goes, I'm going to use kadischi to generate a 
live-DVD based on pre Fedora Core 5. The reason I chose Fedora over 
Ubuntu is because I work with the Fedora version of Eclipse and I know 
that it is working well in Fedora at the moment. The discs will have 
GNOME 2.12, but I figured having a stable Eclipse was more important 
than the newest GNOME - it is EclipseCon after all :)

In order to get the discs in time and at a reasonable cost, I bought a 
bunch of blank DVDs and an inkjet printer that can print on CDs/DVDs. 
I'm not sure how well it will work, but I'll post a message to the list 
when I'm done.

Anyway, that's my plan. Please let me know if you have any comments or 
suggestions.

Thanks, Ben
