Marketing Plans for GUADEC
Hi all, GUADEC is a great opportunity to generate publicity around GNOME. Marketing can also help people who aren't able to attend to stay in touch with the conference and feel like they are involved. It would be great if we could have a series of GUADEC reports posted on gnome.org during the conference. I'd be happy to write one. Does anyone else want to? Live microblogging would be good also, if we can manage that. One critical factor here will be ensuring that there's Internet access available. Does anyone have any tips for mobile broadband while travelling in Europe? Any other ideas for marketing activities we can do for the conference?

Re: Marketing Plans for GUADEC
I'm hoping to publish at least a couple of articles about GUADEC while I'm there, most likely regarding keynotes and other talks, though I may attempt a couple of in-person interviews as well. On the topic of internet I'm hoping to have web access at the hotel, but if not I'll be hunting for places with free Wi-Fi. Failing that I'll revert to internet cafe's (look for places that say Red outside - network in spanish), which at least used to be all over the place.

From the local team, we are really interested in this, and it would be nice this reports were written from people from the community, this is one of the tasks we would like to do in collaboration with volunteers. The same for uploading pictures from the conference. Fantastic! I wonder what the best way to organise this would be? Could you provide me with a list of volunteers, perhaps? And maybe we could meet on the first day of the conference to work out the details? ... Wifi will be available at the venue but with 250 people in the same room ... Thanks, that's really useful. Any other ideas for marketing activities we can do for the conference? We would like to prepare an area to do video interviews with speakers that could be published in the web. That would be great! Do you have video equipment arranged? Perhaps we could work together to draw up and plan and some interview questions? If we do make videos, it would be great to be able to quickly get them online. I guess that means we'll need to figure out arrangements for processing and editing.

Video interviews would be very cool to do. I have a (standard definition) video camera I was thinking about bringing along with me, which we could use. Though I have no idea how to go about editing.

I have a (standard definition) video camera I was thinking about bringing along with me, which we could use. Though I have no idea how to go about editing. We are going to have 3 cameras for recording the 3 parallel tracks, for interviews we were thinking about using cheaper technology as mobile/phones. It would be nice having better equipment. We can do this with any recent pocket camera that records 720p video. DSLR cameras also help and offer greater quality, but it can be overkill. The critical thing is having good sound, IMHO. A boom microphone or a lapel microphone (ones that are attached to interviewee t-shirt) is critical, one for the person asking the questions is a bonus, although we can propose a format where the questions are off-screen. If the university can lend us one, it would be awesome. Where to record is not a big deal if the microphone in use has a 3.5mm jack, meaning that we can plug it into one of those tiny hand voice recorders. The syncing between audio and video file (the camera also recorded sound) is easy, you just need to have a clapper board sound (a very loud hand clap works exactly the same). I've also heard that Diego Escalante was thinking about recording something during the conference. I am looking forward to get some footage that I can use to hack a kind of small documentary about how it feels/what is GUADEC and the project. I am obviously happy to work on the video/press team :) The other day we were thinking about preparing a Photocall area to do the interviews, but i don't know it this would be possible yet. A place with good lighting (a big window with light in the room) is good enough. Sound/noise should not be a big deal. But if you are thinking on some cool setup with posters and a logo wall like in Hollywood, go ahead that will look cool :D. -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
