Re: [Debconf-team] DC18 brochure & flyer final review

[Pranav Jain]

Hi Team,
Could we include more statistics about the past attendees? One of main
strength of the DebConf is the diverse crowd that we have. We can include
number of students or we can include number of attendees from different
countries. If we aren't looking to give exact numbers then we can talk
about the same in percentage too.

I think most of the companies these days want to attract a diverse amount
of crowd in their outreach activities and this will help us make a stronger
impact when asking for sponsorship.

I am sorry if this has been already discussed.

Hi Changzhuo,

Looks good.  That's a much better photo of Chris Lamb.  I fixed up the caption 
to the photo a little bit (diff attached to this email).  Other than that, both 
docs look fine to me.

Let's go get some sponsors!

As discuss in IRC, brochure & flyer review deadline is Oct 18 2017 00:00 UTC.
Please help to report any issue in brochure & flyer before the deadline.
We will start to look for sponsor after the deadline.


The following links are latest brochure & flyer.

Yes.  As a native English speaker, I can confirm that Gunnar's grammatical 
suggestion is correct.  In a diff I've submitted, I've suggested a different 
way to fix the problem.

I think what gwolf is trying to emphasize is that the archive is already quite 
extensive; it goes all the way back to 2005.

Please see the patch I've submitted.

That was my understanding of it, too, ChangZhuo.  The indents look OK.

Thanks for all the comments. Brochure & flyer are updated according to
the feedback.

The following is current brochure & flyer. Please help to do the final
check before we start to look for sponsor.

I guess so. But since I am not native English either, please correct me
if we are wrong.

I think the new sentence "Videos are also archived for ..." is roughly
the same as the first sentence in second paragraph. Do we want to
emphasize on "since 2005"?

I think only indented parts are quotes. The unindented part is not part
of quote.

I would try to avoid the single sentence left over from "Job Postings
and Job Fair" on page 7. Maybe move the picture from page 6 to the
bottom of page 7. That already might be fixing it.

TBH, the picture of Lamby is way to dark and show mostly empty stage.

Questions as a non-native English speaker:

- The caption on page 4's picture, shouldn't it be "...updating ON
  Debian status", "giving an update on Debian's status", or something
  like it? It's not as if Chris updated Debian's status by delivering
  a talk.

- I would add a line in the same page: I think video _archiving_ is
  also a valuable item for our sponsors. So, the subtitle would be
  "Live World-wide Video Streaming and Archiving", adding to the first
  paragraph: "Videos are also archived for their long-term use,
  contributing to a media library that includes every DebConf edition
  since 2005".

- I'm not sure I understand what the semantics of page 5 are supposed
  to mean. Why are all quotes partially indented?

Good work :-]
