Dear Cameron and the marketing comittee,
I like the changes in the marketing exhibition pack and i think they are quite Eco-friendly as well as more economic. Especially removing a lot of the paper on the table.
I would also like to contribute and see more efforts in online marketing.
+ 1 for the changes in the marketing exhibition pack

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowedSo that we can quickly respond to requests for funds for a Marketing
Exhibition Pack, I've been looking over our existing page here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Exhibition_Pack
This has 2 tables in it, and descriptions of different items, all of
which could be simplified into one easier to maintain and understand table.Also, I think that we can probably revise what is required for this pack
now that we have a solid OSGeo-Live DVD we can reference.In particular:
* We don't need a book of project descriptions, as we can point people
at OSGeo-Live running on a laptop.
* If we don't have all the paper on the stand, then we don't need a
literature stand.
* I'm not convinced a $200 OSGeo branded table skirt looks any better
than a $20 table cloth that most people would have at home and could
bring with them.So I've updated what I think the Marketing Pack should include in a
spreadsheet here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RcHU5MDE0Z3lienJlWUtkVjgtV1FfU0E#gid=0And if I don't hear any objections in the next couple of days, I plan to
remove most of the content from the Exhibition_Pack wiki and just point
the the google doc spreadsheet.--

remove most of the content from the Exhibition_Pack wiki and just point
the the google doc spreadsheet.I think the definitive copy should remain on the wiki as the document
does not change often and linking pictures in of items is quite useful.The literature stand has mostly been used in the past to keep the OSGeo
1 page info sheet and FOSS4g postcards, hence the need only for 1. It's
nice for getting some material off the table and noticeable from a distance.I agree a black table cloth can be easily substituted, and that's partly
why we experimented with the table runner in CA which can be much
cheaper. Depending on the location a pop-up is not always feasible and
so something on the table itself helps.As for paper materials, I'm hoping we can get the pdf output of the
overviews from OSGeo-Live formatted nicely so that can be used as a
spiral bound (or binder) on the table. Electricity at all conferences is
not always feasible either, so having a $5 low tech copy on hand is good
(1-2 quantity is sufficient).So I guess I'd say we can shift some of these items to the optional section.
I'll see if I can dig up some pictures to show what our table (CA
Chapter) has looked like with the whole setup. You can probably find
them on the wiki already.Thanks,
Alex------------------------------
