Equipment
Possible needs (revise based on exhibitor pack from conference):
- Poster?
- Flyer console (to be bought)
- laptops/monitors?
- 1 high table? drape? 2 stools/chairs? banner, cloth banner ceiling
- screen? wired internet?
- GeoForAll: Tangible Landscape if space allows?
- Please note: per july 2017 a new logo design and collateral update is under way
Printings:
- Stickers to be printed
- OSGoo Flyer(s) to be printed
- Banners to be printed locally:
- Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
- Suggest both: OSGeo_popup and OSGeo_popup2
- Ask printer/see on printer-site, whether the PDF of SVG format is needed. Silk finish or silk matt finish for readability (light glare during exhibitions is high)
- Brochure:
- Old: OSGeo_Brochure_2010_PRINT_A4_spread.pdf (this is single A4 back and front)
- Current: Tri-folded handout, minimal branding
- New brochure to be printed locally - pending rebranding
- I suggest minimum paperweight of 100 gram paper, silk or silk matt finished. Ask printer to fold, preferably not do so yourself (bothersome and never a crips bend). Usually I count max 100 brochures per exhibition day on average. Now, 300 will do I expect.
- Table runner
- Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
- If printer is able to print on cloth, you could order: OSGeo_tablerunner to be designed
- Please check with printer if PDF or SVG file format required
- CD Live disk/stick (latest version?)
- http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/disk/
- Per FOSS4G 2016 this was 10.0 version, we now have 10.5
- Stick minumum memory: ?
- Logo to be printed on it.
- Amount: ?? (50% self-starting)
- Geo4all labs materials?
- Ask labs to provide flyers highlighting education and research programs
- Where to send them and how many? Volunteer for a booth timeslot and bring your own.
- Project information sheets
- Work with rebranding templates and OSGeo Live for contents
- Where to send them and how many? Volunteer for a booth timeslot and bring your own.
