Thread: email list for onsite oscon preparations
Finally... I'm ready to start handling the
onsite OSCON organizations.
It was pointed out that we do not want to do
the organization on advocacy and no one was
interested in my wiki, I think we'll have to
use a mailing list.
Marc, is it possible to please set up a mailing
list for pgsql-oscon and enable me to administer
it?
This is the to do list so far:
* Schedule BOF (elein)
* pgsql table staffing
(mail to elein@varlena.com to sign up if you haven't
already--I have a good list but
we *know* we'll need as many people as
possible.)
* swag for table
* CD
* brochure
* tshirt for table staffers (?)
* offsite soiree
We'll need to clarify the swag. Greg, you have a handle on
this right? I also cannot find who was interested in
creating the CD. Could you contact me or the oscon list
when it gets created?

Hello, It should be noted that a booth at OSCON for the .Orgs only includes "1" exhibitor pass. As I arranged for the booth, please let me know who that person should be. Sincerely, Joshua D.

Um, why not do it on the Advocacy mailing list? What is the Advocacy list for, if not this? Just prefix the subject lines with OSCON and people not going can ignore them. SO you know, I'm still waiting for word back from O'Reilly on a discount code for PostgreSQL community members. I've been waiting for about 10 days, not sure what's going on. > We'll need to clarify the swag. Greg, you have a handle on > this right? I also cannot find who was interested in > creating the CD. Could you contact me or the oscon list > when it gets created? Well, we need an ISO. Once that's done, we can use community resources (e.g. 25 people with CD burners and lable printers) to get the CDs done. Alternately, if we can raise money, we can have it professionally done and get CDs for LWE as well. Having CDs factory-burned only pays if we're getting at lease 1000, though. We *do* need a CD cover and T-Shirt design. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

I had thought of maybe a pgsql-events list ... more general then just oscon, but would be more specific then just advocacy ... ---- Marc G.

It was discussed earlier that the details of the preparations should not necessarily be on the public list. If no one thinks that is important, then by all means let us stay on the advocacy list. I never had a problem with that. I have the start of the mailing list, too. Robert, we should exchange information. elein On Sun, Apr 11, 2004 at 11:50:51AM -0700, Josh Berkus wrote: > Elein, > > > It was pointed out that we do not want to do > > the organization on advocacy and no one was > > interested in my wiki, I think we'll have to > > use a mailing list. > > Um, why not do it on the Advocacy mailing list?

Swag is good. I'd like to see tee shirts for the advocacy team, booth tenders and speakers at the very least so that we can be more visible. Give away or sell teeshirts would be great. Robert Bernier needs CDs burned. I'm not sure what else. Brochures if we've got text. But! I'm out of the country attending the Netherlands Open Source conference (where I'll be speaking on PostgreSQL :-). I'll be back at the start of June. I'll have sporadic email until I return. But what actually gets done is what really counts so do not wait if you've got something in mind that needs to move forward. cheers, elein On Thu, May 20, 2004 at 05:57:14PM -0400, Andrew Sullivan wrote: > > Afilias marketing folks are possibly interested in swagging us. > What sort of stuff do we want, and what kind of volume? > > A > > On Sat, Apr 10, 2004 at 12:53:38PM -0700, elein wrote: > > > > Finally...

I always find booths where the staff wears uniform T-shirts to be pretty lame. I don't know how OSCON looks, but I'd suggest you wear something normal and give everyone a name tag with an identifying logo. I've seen open source project staff dressed in suits and that looked very respectable, but it may be inappropriate for a conference (as opposed to an exhibition).

* Somebody please suggest a time table: when would you like to see a
completed CD?
* For that matter, what would like the CD to have and do?
* Among documentation I can include not only the default pg
reference stuff but I "could" also include a couple of the online
references ie: Bruce's book and Command Prompt Inc book. Comments?

We could include the case studies I created. As a matter of fact oreilly
had created and printed a set of brochures describing "BSD success
stories" at Dru Lavigne's request for the recently held BSD-CAN held in
Ottawa. Josh, what do you think?

I have a copy of the old great bridge guide to postgresql I could send
you. Its a little dated, but probably no more so than Bruce/Command
Prompts books. I will dig it up and email it to you so you can check it
out.

I thought it consisted mainly of the regular PostgreSQL documentation plus their own installation guide.
