[guadec-list] Urgent : Printed Program Status
Hi all, It seems that the Printed Program is not up to speed. We would need to finish it ASAP. Apparently Benham doesn't have enough time to work on it full time so, if he agrees and others, here is my proposition : I have a friend who is a graphist. She's unemployed so would have all necesary time to work on it full time during this week. She only speaks french and spanish (she's from belgium) but I could do some translation for her so I don't expect that to be a huge problem as I would sumarise things for her and she can read a little bit of english. She would be working with Quark or Indesign because she already knows and I think it's the best given the time constraint. So, given the overdue deadline, we need to take a desicion. To be clear I am not willing to step on anyone toes, just get the work done but doesn't seem progress as fast as they would need so I'm just proposing an alternative. Benham, Quim, Sara and Shaun, please comment. (and others too ;-) ) -- Ludovic Danigo ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
Re : [guadec-list] Other t-shirts (volunteers, professionals)
Hi, Quim Gil wrote: As Ludovic suggested, we need t-shirts for the volunteers. However, I think they are more a recognition gift to be given at the end of the conference rather than a tool to be identified and used during the GUADEC days. I agree. Well ... I somewhat disagree here if we are going to make those special T-shirt, they'd better be useful _during_ the GUADEC. Otherwise I don't see the point a part from recognition but not everyone he's doing it for that. A tool for identification is needed, whatever it be. Basically because we are trying to build not a small group of volunteers working full days and missing most parts of GUADEC but work with a bigger group of people that will assume some tasks some days, not the whole day. Also because washing t-shirts and having 2 per person is extra work/coordination. I disagree here too. A small core of volonteer, preferably local is absolully needed ! Asking help for moving around two chair will never be a problem, but with a large group with loosely defined responsibility you are going to face ... lack of responsability. And for any problem people will tend to turn to you two, if you're willing to assume it won't be a problem for me :-) I wasn't joking when I suggested something like a hawaiian lei - Great idea. I can think of people that wouldn't be happy with this. Not sure if it's the most apropriate item.

A small core of volonteer, preferably local is absolully needed ! Get your point. To me small core of volunteers = staff, and I agree we need staff. Can you open a new thread explaining how the staff volunteers are going to get organized during GUADEC? Maybe the problem starts when we discuss the t-shirts before knowing about the volunteers. :) I can think of people that wouldn't be happy with this. Let's talk about real cases, if they exist. If any volunteer is unhappy with this, can you suggest a better item? However, a bit of humor won't harm anyone.

If it has a GNOME branding I don't imagine gnomers throwing it away. I do throw them when it has the logo of conference X or boring sponsor Y, but not with a GNOME logo in it. I don't use such bands but I would keep it. Plain blue, red, black or yellow will be fine. Or the rainbow variant is nice too. Black with white GNOME logo and you get a piece for collectors.

[guadec-list] Closing the Football equipment
Hi guys! After reading the thread about the equipment cost and talking with Quim, I have a final proposal before doing the final move. For 13€/person we have the complete equipment: shirts, sockets and shorts. If we get only the shirts, I think it will around 9€ (if possible). I think that the 4€ (160€) difference isn't a big deal and that the full equipment is much more attractive than only the shirts. Remember that the idea is that this Football match is the oficial sport tournament for the GUADEC. In any case, I will prefer to ask the players to pay some money (maybe a kind of donation) than only getting the shirts. But I will follow list advice and if finally we decide that only shirts, I will order only the shirts. The other main cost will be printing of the GNOME logo (I will try to save as much money as possible with it).

Is the information on the wiki even a correct representation? http://live.gnome.org/GUADEC2006/PrintedContent 140 pages is a lot of pages. I don't think we should need more than about 60-70 pages total. We've had this discussion, and I proposed an alternative format with 40 pages: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/guadec-list/2006-May/msg00016.html However, I'm not doing anything with the programme, and I trust that we'll have something reasonable on time - it's happened miraculously in the past (usually with a designer being paid to cobble something together in the last fortnight, complete with all-nighter sessions at the printers, grabbing wet ink copies to rush to catch the plane) (I'm exaggerating slightly). So - I've had my say, and the format chosen at this stage really is un to the doers. My gut feeling is that we have too much on our plates, and that we need to slim down on everything and start bazaaring as much as possible - this is already happening (witness the embedded forum, the football match and the jam session) but it needs to happen more. The final phase of organising the conference is getting the word out - web banners, magazine ads articles, phone calls emails to journalists; the other phase (the most fun) is paying for everything. But I would hate to see us blow a chunk of the money we've raised for the conference on professional help because we over-reached.

Re : Re : [guadec-list] Urgent : Printed Program Status
No it's not acurate. I'll update it as soon as I can. This in few hours if I get to leave my office.

Sara, Behnam, Shaun, Ludovic (and Davyd?) deserve all the trust to achieve this goal. If you think another person is needed, or you need changes in the team, so be it. You decide.

Apparently Benham doesn't have enough time to work on it full time so, if he agrees and others, here is my proposition : I have a friend who is a graphist. She's unemployed so would have all necesary time to work on it full time during this week. She only speaks french and spanish (she's from belgium) but I could do some translation for her so I don't expect that to be a huge problem as I would sumarise things for her and she can read a little bit of english. She would be working with Quark or Indesign because she already knows and I think it's the best given the time constraint. So, given the overdue deadline, we need to take a desicion. To be clear I am not willing to step on anyone toes, just get the work done but doesn't seem progress as fast as they would need so I'm just proposing an alternative.

Re : Re : [guadec-list] Other t-shirts (volunteers, professionals)
That what I proposed but it doesn't seem to please. We can have the combo T-shirt + hawaiian lei + red nose + whatever :-P I don't really care but voluteer need visibility, I thing. Anyway, there is a local meeting planned the 27th and we'll talk about it there. -- Ludovic Danigo - Message d'origine De : Davyd Madeley [EMAIL PROTECTED] À : Andy Wingo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc : guadec-list@gnome.org Envoyé le : Lundi, 22 Mai 2006, 5h56mn 49s Objet : Re: Re : [guadec-list] Other t-shirts (volunteers, professionals) On Mon, May 22, 2006 at 12:29:28PM +0200, Andy Wingo wrote: Hey, On Mon, 2006-05-22 at 07:01 +, Ludovic Danigo wrote: if we are going to make those special T-shirt, they'd better be useful _during_ the GUADEC.

[guadec-list] about Poster presentations
Hello all, How we can publish this? Lists can be a good way... And please, correct what is necessary... This is a good opportunity for those who had something else to explain/show. Instead of giving a talk if you prefer create a poster, an A4 or A3 or something printed, and stick it somewhere... You are able to do it. The GUADEC office will have a color A4 printer available, and we will find a professional printing service nearby where those needing anything more special can help themselves. We are asking the poster contributors to upload the digital files to guadec.org. The Committee will keep the right to filter posters considered off-topic (i.e. A Drink Pepe-Cola ad). See http://guadec.org/selectionprocess to send us your poster. You can stick poster presentations without needing to give notice in advance. The place will be the Entrance Hall of the UPC, a place where lots of things will be happening. See http://guadec.org/GUADEC2006/location (Entrance Hall with Info Accreditation desk, Stands, Media Zone,Poster Presentations Pannels, Speakers Corner and power cords.) and http://guadec.org/node/43.
