I'd like to propose a lab for generating ApacheCon ads and banners.
The idea is to create a set of SVG templates for the ads and then be
able to generate them from year to year without too much pain. There
are at least 19 geometries that we need (Sally Khudairi has identified
these) those should be provided in PNG, GIF, and JPG formats. Then
there are speaker, sponsor, and media partner variations. In the end
it's 170+ images and I'd rather not do all of that by hand, each year.
I'm not yet sure what I want to use to transform the SVG. I was
thinking either starting with an XSL or Velocity transformation, then
using one of the Magicks or Batik or something like that for last
step.
Anyone who would want to create new banners would only need to provide
the SVG templates.
Thoughts?
DOAP file included below.
Oh, and IMU = interactive marketing units. I didn't come up with that one. :-)
