I am willing to volunteer for working the booth.
I have note seen any indication of what hours the booth is to be manned nor
the booth # or location.

It might be nice to put the images/data on

on pdxlinux.com. I know I would rather have a single business card with 
a link to the data, rather than collect a bunch of paper to travel with. 
Well ok sometimes I like the paper, others I don't. But it would be 
another way to push people toward pdxlinux.com, knowing that what they

pdxlinux.com still has the free expo code for 2015 on it.

I have 20 business cards and am still looking for the "Why Portland"

We don't have time before OSCON to get new photos, but I don't think
new photos are necessary. Consider that most people picking up a
flyer don't know anything about PLUG, so they won't know that the
photos are dated. But getting new photos might be added to our to-do
list. It also occurred to me that a pic of us at the meeting with Linus
Torvalds might be excellent. I know people took pictures there, maybe
someone can e-mail some to me.

As for the text, I can see a couple minor changes that would be good,
like adding your name with Dave Mandel as persons in charge. But
overall, I say stay with what it is. 

Making a separate sheet with the meeting list from our website would be
good. I'm thinking just 8.5x11, double sided, nice font and
typesetting, heavy paper (I have some white 32# paper).

I'm less concerned about the photo than the text on the back of the
business card. I did the most recent re-design and it is OK, except it
is a little confusing because it is not clear that the items in the
left column refer to things in the right column. But we don't have time
to re-print a new design. I hope you can find some. In my experience
more people pick up the card than the flyer.

There he is!


I need to print more of the PLUG flyers, but no one has said anything
about changes and updates to the existing one.


I confess I have not. The content is pretty dated. Maybe reduce it to a 
single page describing the meetings and clinic?



Also, do we have business cards? From past experience more people take

I'll take a look. May also be dated. Should get a group photo of come 
kind from this century.

As in past years I volunteer to man the booth both days. One person is
sufficient, but another person is good for busy times and bathroom
breaks and such. 

I need to print more of the PLUG flyers, but no one has said anything
about changes and updates to the existing one. 

Also, do we have business cards? From past experience more people take
the card than the flyer.
