Thread: Swag for conferences: please make requests now
Folks, We have the following things in Oakland to be shipped to anyone who is doing a booth in North America in the next 2 months: 8.4 Flyers (600): Rob's flyer, we want to use these up while 8.4 is still new. What Is PostgreSQL Flyers (800): general flyer. Blue PostgreSQL T-shirts: assorted sizes. Meant for volunteers to wear at the booth. Also as a gift in exchange for donations of $10 or more. USB Keys (in Portland, actually): USB keys for PostgresQL disk images. To be sent only if you have a specific plan for how to use them or get donations for them; they were fairly expensive. Pop-up Display: classy booth display. Only for 8'x8' booths or larger, for 2-day or longer events (due to cost of shipping). Mini-banners: two 1'x5' banners, for events where the pop-up display is too large. Please be specific and realistic about quantities required; shipping is expensive and we don't want you shipping too much back. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com
Josh, do you have a picture of the mini banners? we (at Venezuela) would be interested in the flyers, usbkeys andthe TShirts, but we can do that for ourselves... The mini-banners sound interesting... Specially the 8x8... but we would use them only at the National Free Software Congress... wich is a two day event per branch (Usually 10 states)... I can make arrangements to get a booth at every branch :P. But my point, if i ask for one of these (Both, mini, and the 8x8) will they cost to us? if so, how much...

Anything else would not be cost effective; it would be cheaper to send you the designs and have you make stuff there. The pop-up 8x8 booth display would cost $200 or more to ship, and would be likely to be lost or damaged in transit. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com

Regarding "Rob's flyer":
My apologies for the delay with translations. I've been tied up with health problems and interstate travel since the first work was done on this. Also, there was some confusion over what was and was not the agreed translation in each language.
Last night I completed the Italian version. It only took me an hour to do it. I had the advantage of speaking to one person who handled all the liaison. I think this is the best model.
If one person can step up to the plate for each language and give me the final text and can be available to answer questions, I can do the same for other versions without further delay. Availability on Skype would make it even easier for me to get the work done quickly.
I have a Russian version ready for comment if anyone would like to take the lead on them. By the way, I found the biggest problem is getting suitable fonts to work in each language. I suggest that a standard font set be chosen for each language. Stick to those fonts for all brochures. It has proved to be a pain to get everything to match.

Guido, > Some friends at SFO atm, is this booth something worth to carry as a > luggage or alike without being called a terrorist ? Unfortunately, it's just over the weight limit, so they'd have to pay overweight charges. It was supposed to be just *under*, but the actual weight differed from the advertised weight. Also, you'd need to get it back ... -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com

Euler As I wrote earlier, send me a translation that your group agrees on and I'll turn it around quickly. I can set it up as files for downloading and with crop marks for printing. I assume you use A4 format. If that's not the case, please let me know.
