decisions from Akademy 2010

  • hardware is simply to hard - you have to ship both ways
  • contributors generally can bring their own stuff
  • so we go mainly for swag and smaller stuff
  • we need two boxes: one for tradeshows and conferences, one for release parties and the like
  • regional teams will source the stuff locally, then pre-prepare (or at least pre-buy stuff for) a number of boxes
  • define a 'standard' box. Some conferences may be a '2 or 3 box' conference

TODO:

  • figure out what t-shirts exactly we need.
    • we need at least 2 kinds of t-shirts: a business-compattible one and a community-compattible one
    • designs will be chosen by Stuart in discussion with community
  • figure out costs - to be done by each regional team (EU, Asia, North and South America)
    • shipping costs (if applicable)
    • cost for typical box contents
    • number of events and therefore boxes required

Contents of the 'big boothbox'

We basically are not going to do this for now, until the board decides we can spend about 10.000 euro's per year for the 4 main regions (asia, south america, north america and europe) on shipping it around.

  • 4 Network cables - For those booths that have a wired network (like SCALE). 2 for the Demo computers, and 2 for additional laptops that some may bring.
  • A router - Usually each booth only gets one network line, so this is for plugging in more than one computer at the booth into the network using the above cables.
  • Surge protector with at least 6 plugs - All this equipment needs power.
  • A Banner - To tell folk what we are promoting.
  • Safety pins, hooks, packing tape, masking tape, and electrical tape - To hang the banner and tie up the cables, if needed.
  • Pens and pencils and markers in different sizes and colors.
  • t-shirts, stickers and other goodies for sale
  • cool KDE postcards

Surely not there yet but should be in there:

  • 8 t-shirts for boothmembers (still must be designed) (the "digital freedom"/"part of the solution"-shirts work fine, imho)
  • 2 decent Demo computers (not there right now?!?) Preferably all-in-one touchscreen capable devices, low power etc. One can dream...
  • KDE information leaflets (need to be printed)

Things that might be helpful:

  • blank sheets of textile (2x2 metres is a good measure) to cover up, decorate, etc. depending on the location. Makes the booth look magnitudes better when it is located - say - in a shabby gym. Not so necessary on professional fairgrounds.
