Hello We would like to do some promo for this year's GUADEC beyond the "usual" channels: places like local universities, hackspaces and co-working spaces. A poster would be great for some of these.
I've come up with initial content & layout for a poster and am interested in feedback on it. We're also looking for someone who can take this from "ascii art" to "actual nice poster", probably based on the design here: https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/blob/master/events/guadec/2017/poster-a3.svg I've put the content into an Etherpad here: https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/guadec-poster A couple of comments/thoughts. * I based the content items mainly on the schedules from the previous 2 years. In the final poster we could use logos of various technologies instead of just listing names, it might look better * I'm aware it's full of words -- I think it's better to focus on attracting a small number of people who will be genuinely interested in what's happening at GUADEC, than a large number of people who don't know what to expect and might decide they're not actually interested when they get there. We have a limit on how many folk can reasonably attend, after all. So giving a lot of specifics in the poster seems like a win. * Will people be able to come to the newcomers workshops without registering for the conference? What about the unconference days? * Including sponsors: there's a timing issue here with confirming sponsors vs. actually printing the posters, so it may or may not be worth including. However I think it's win/win if we can list sponsors because the sponsors get exposure, and people looking at the poster can see there's commercial interest in GUADEC.
