Thread: Solutions Linux 2005 Feb 1,2,3 Paris
Hi all, First, During Solutions Linux 2005 exhibit Feb 1,2,3 Paris, we'll have this year the pleasure to hear Bruce, Jan, Gilles (ora2pg) and St�phane (french specialist of RDBMS for Linagora) during the database conference: http://www.solutionslinux.fr/en/conferences_detail.php?id_conference=26 (seems to be not yet translated, should be done in a few) SL 2005 home (french) : http://www.solutionslinux.fr/fr/index.php SL 2005 home (english) : http://www.solutionslinux.fr/en/index.php I think you can add it to next PostgreSQL events in PGWN (thanks Robert for your great work, we translate pgwn each week on our site!). Second, We'll have a booth this year at the exhibit, for PostgreSQLFr.org internet site and french non-lucrative association (french 1901 law for non-lucrative associations). It should be as big as a table and two school chairs :) I remember some told me here it could be possible, we would like to have some goodies for the booth: 1 or 2 posters as a minimum, anything else? Like TShirts for example?... Books? We could buy all of it to PostgreSQL project (whats the commercial entity? PG INC?..). Since our association is not yet setted up (should be in the next few months), we'll buy it on personal fundings. Or can it be possible you send a little 'stock' and we will return everything not sold and buy only sold stuff? Lets'say we'll add 1 or 2 euros for our the association funding. The objective is clearly not to make money but just having a little money to start hiring the association's server. (PostgreSQLFr.org is hosted on a friend's server since feb 2004...). Every booth there has its own tshirt and stuff. We would be so proud in wearing PostgreSQL Tshirts :) I'll try to ask O'Reilly to let PostgreSQL books at our booth... Is this a good idea? There are good books too in Eyrolles (fr editor of computer's books). I hope Bruce and Jan will take few hours to meet french PostgreSQL users in our booth. I think they could sign some goodies? Well, I listen to any help. Its the first time I organize such a thing in my life, I have no idea of how it can be done . Any help much appreciated, then! Hope to read you soon, Best regards, -- Jean-Paul ARGUDO Site perso : http://www.argudo.org PostgreSQL : http://www.postgresql(fr).org l'APRIL : http://www.april.org

I can send you t-shirts for the volunteers (how many?) and a couple copies of Kerry Douglas' book, in English. Please give me a headcount ASAP as I leave town in one week and then won't be able to ship anything until January. The other really cool thing to do would be to create bootable PostgreSQL CDs in French and hand them out. Talk to Robert Bernier about how he created the English ones featuring 7.4. And keep in mind that we handed out 700 of them at Linux World Expo, so you'll want to have quite a few. You should also create a flyer (with the help of this list) on 8.0 or on PostgreSQL in general and print several hundred. > Lets'say we'll add 1 or 2 euros for our the association funding.

There are good books too in Eyrolles (fr editor of computer's > books). I don't think O'Reilly has anything remotely current out on PostgreSQL. Perhaps Pearsons (AW, SAMS), instead? They have a few titles which are more current, and many of them translated. I can ask Pearsons in the US who to contact there. How big is this convention? > Well, I listen to any help. Its the first time I organize such a thing in > my life, I have no idea of how it can be done . I'm happy to help. I've done about 8 booths at this point. The most important thing is to make a list NOW of what you'll need/want, how long they'll take, how much they'll cost, and who's responsible. I'd even suggest creating this list as an OOo doc and putting it up on the "press" project on pgFoundry, where the 8.0 releases are, so everyone can share it. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Well, can you send me any url or the banner design?... I would show it to my local press printer to have an idea of the cost. More over, it would be great if we have our own banner for such exhibitions in europe. It would avoid yours to cross the ocean multiple times :) > > anything else? Like TShirts for example?...

Lets burn some toasts then! :) we had that idea too, to have a "marketing" oriented CD. Bootable, with PostgreSQL and so on. We would put all the docs, examples, links... sources... everything we can grab. > You should also create a flyer (with the help of this list) on 8.0 or on > PostgreSQL in general and print several hundred. Yes. We have to do that, lets say a recto-verso A5 page (~half US letter) to present who we are, what we do. > How big is this convention? for the last 5 years, there have been about 12.000 visitors each year.

Thanks for your valuable help! Thanks a lot. Ah, maybe Bruce&Jan could bring up a little stuff too? Since they will be here talking about RDBMS session? Just an idea.

We printed it one side English and one side German. I can send you the source file, you can replace the German text by the French, and send if off to the printer. In fact, if we had both English/French and English/German available in a common design, we could deal them out at FOSDEM as well. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

could you sent me sources too. I'll try to write in Russian

Josh--I've got 25 t-shirts I can lug across the bridge to you. Or you can cross the bridge to get them :) Jean-Paul-- I will send you the source for both flyers off the list. Anyone can do anything to general one. It was based, as Peter said, on the one from Germany. I have no problem with my Pg & the Open Source Model flyer being translated.

Ok, seems there's a kind of misunderstanding, I sincerely apologize my english is not as fluent as it should be. What I want is just some tee-shirts, lets say ~10 for the staff of the booth. I'd like everyone participating in the booth life had his own tee-shirt. If the PG projects offers it, it would be great, but I dont want to force you to do so, so I can buy those 10 TShirts first, and give it back to my folks there. Since they are all volunteers, I would be glad of give 'em back a little gift. On the other hand, Id like having a stock of ~50 TShirts to sell them, as every booth at Solutions Linux expo does each year. Each association has goodies to sell to make "a little" money to help them live during the year. That's what I want to do too. BUT in *NO WAY* I want PG project TO GIVE those 50 tshirts. What I want is to give you back the money you would have if those tshirts were sold from the internet site. So I just asked you how we could proceed for the payment of those tshirts. As an evidence the best for us (pgfr.org) is have the stock here at linux expo round 31/01/2005. You could send this bunch of tshirts paying the shipping. As a return, when the expo is over, we send you back the money of the sold tshirt (just give me *your* price) plus the money back of the shippement you will pay. If you have any problem regarding trust, commercial issues or whatever, keep me in touch with it. I can understand you may not want send 50 Thirts without an initial payment. Really, dont hesitate, I will understand. So, then, I'll have to find people to help me buy it. Hope this time I am understood? Well, I did it long and boring with the hope everyone can understand what I want. Finaly: ~10 tshirts for the staff, as a gift or not from pg (if not, we would buy it, no problem!) ~50 tshirts for the visitors to be sold. Hope we will sell everything. Our goal is to sell them : your price + 1 or 2 euros for us = expo retail price. Finaly, we will send you the money of the sold tshirt plus surplus unsold tshirts back plus the shippment you will pay. (we hope the 1/2 surplus euros will cover this shippement :-/ ) Cya, Thanks a lot to everyone on this list answering my crap english :) -- Jean-Paul ARGUDO Site perso : http://www.argudo.org PostgreSQL : http://www.postgresql(fr).org l'APRIL : http://www.april.org
Elein, Marc, Jean-Paul, > Josh--I've got 25 t-shirts I can lug across the bridge to you. > Or you can cross the bridge to get them :) How does this sound: Elein can ship 20 shirts to Jean-Paul; 7-10 for the booth volunteers, the rest to sell. Marc can send his shirts to Bruce/Brian, assuming that they get a booth together. Elein, we'll compensate you for shipping somehow, Foundation money I expect.

Please let me know what PG advocacy group you represent have decided to do?! You can ship the tshirts here: Dimitri FONTAINE 6, RUE CRESPIN DU GAST 75011 PARIS FRANCE Dimitri is a friend of mine, he will lodge me during the week of the exhibit. I prefer tshirts be sent there, since I live far from Paris and will take the train to go there. Please tell me how those tshirts can be sold or not... Id like having one or two wallposters too, something not too big too, like a OpenBSD poster would be great for example. I'll talk later about the PG bootable cdrom in the thread devoted to it. Thanks for any help. -- Jean-Paul Argudo

Apparently you aren't getting some people's e-mail. You received several responses, the last of which asked you for an address. You did not reply. We are sending you 20 t-shirts from The PostgreSQL Foundation. If someone else who knows they have contact with Jean-Paul gets this, please contact him and let him know to fix his spam filters!

That will fit the requirements for dessing up people on the booth! If I have to return those tshirts, please let me know where to ship them to. If you give those tshirts to us, we will use it on the french non-lucrative association PostgreSQLFr.org (yes, it has the same name than the web site) to dress people for the next exhibitions around here.

Just give the t-shirts to the volunteers to keep; I can't imagine that you'll have more than 20 volunteers in the next year. There will be t-shirts again in the future -- in fact, I'll be talking to the original donor about some kind of deal that allows us to sell direct at conventions.

David, and Gavin Roy, you have this. Can one of you e-mail it direct to Jean-Paul? Or better, give it to me to post on pgFoundry?

Well, I retrieved the SVG logo and did translate to french the
Banner [1] and made a wall poster [2].
I wonder if :
1) it is right to put the french URL
(http://www.postgresqlfr.org) on the wall poster and the banner. Is it
legitimated by the fact we are building up the french/francophone
PostgreSQL user group/organization (non lucrative). I don't want to hurt
PostgreSQL people, so give me your feelings... this is quite beta
or alpha banner and poster... feel free to tell me what is the best for
us to put as url!
2) you (the PostgreSQL communauty) agree on the design and the
fact we did ourselves (as the francophone communauty) banners and posters...
Translation to english of the «subtitle» is "The most advanced Open
Source Database" :)

It's not like it's your personal company, or the poster will be used in a non-French-speaking venue. I say, go for it! > 2) you (the PostgreSQL communauty) agree on the design and the > fact we did ourselves (as the francophone communauty) banners and > posters... Issue: the wall poster was NOT designed by the community. It was designed by SourceWear Inc., and is their copyright. You will need to get permission to use the design. I suggest that you work something out with them, they're very flexible; maybe a small link to SourceWear on the poster, or swap your design for theirs and let people know that they can buy copies of the poster from SourceWear. I will e-mail Federico and you. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

What a pain... but I understand As I told Bruce today (surely early for americans), the "organizers" are OKAY in paying everything you need. As told, they wait for you to send them the amount of the plane trip. They would organize everything else, depending the days you want to stay in Paris (hotel+restaurant). So please, re-consider your decision, I repeat, everything gone fine finaly! Be sure I'll ask the questions there to the organizers, for example, why being such late in making their expenses approval!! > Hopefully there is enough time left for this. Good luck. Lets consider I didnt read your mail, answer me soon you'll be there. Theres so much ppl interested in Slony round there... What a pain if you'd not come!!!!!!

Hi Jan, > C'est bon ... > > I will touch down with NWA50 on Tuesday February 1st 11:15 at CDG and > depart on Friday February 4th 13:55. I will email you separately about > other details. That's really good news Jan. Thanks for having reconsidered your decision. The interest in PostgreSQL is really growing in France. When we sent out the press releases fro 7.4, there was nearly no feedback. Now we have already half a dozen articles and news published and more are on the way (I'll make a list for Josh later). And I just had a contact with a journalist who would like to interview either you or Bruce. I told the journalist maybe he could meet with you during Linux Solutions, but if it's too late for him, when would you be available? I'm not sure where you live (you or Bruce) and how much time difference there is... I'll keep you posted on this.

Bruce and I are both living in the EST/EDT timezone, which is 6 hours behind compared to Paris. My cellphone number is +1 978.697.7733 and it is most convenient if he calls around or after 16:00 your time.
