Infomail #2 - April 21st, 2005 - Exhibition, Logos, Descriptions, Flyers
|
1. Exhibition Locations
This year we are going to use the foyer of the Stadthalle, where most of the talks take place, more excessively than last year. This means that a larger number of projects will be able to present their work in the conference building where speace is not as limited as in the exhibition hall.
The drawback, however, is that we will only have walls around the booths in the exhibition hall (Gartenhalle) but not in the conference building (Stadthalle). The advantage is that in the conference building space is not as limited as in the other hall.
Since most of the talks will take place in the conference building, most visitors will walk through the foyer of the Stadthalle even before they know that it will host a part of the exhibition. When those, who are interested in Free Software and free projects find out they will go there as well, so being in the Stadthalle doesn't mean to be off of LinuxTag.
2. Logos
Only very few projects have sent me logos for their projects, in fact only six projects, or four people, did so. This needs to be improved as I need at least proper high resolution graphics or your project won't be able to be listed with a logo in the exhibition journal and other printed media.
I would like to collect two types of logos, though. The most important one needs to be of a high resolution and will be used for printed material. A lower resolution image can be used on the web, but I'm not sure if this will be possible this year at all.
3. Descriptions
Please review the descriptions for your project in the projects frontend. A quick review has shown several bugs in them. Feel free to check the corrected descriptions for your project which Karsten provided.
4. Flyers and Posters
Some of have probably noticed that you can now order flyers and posters through the web frontend. Feel free to use it. We'd be glad if you could distribute both flyers and posters as much as possible in order to gain interest for a lot of visitors who will then attend this year's LinuxTag and see what your projects demonstrates. So please don't hesitate to order 100 flyers or more if you can distribute them in book shops, computer stores, schools, universities and the like. The flyers are currently only available in German, though.
You can order poster adverts for LinuxTag as well, although we will only send them out in one month or so since they haven't been printed yet. I'll note your order and will process it when they're out of the printing plant.
