Thread: Keep calm and use Postgres
I probably have better things to do but I couldn't get the idea out of my idea so I just built a PG version of the "Keep Calm" meme https://raw.github.com/postgresqlfr/pgfr_materials/master/advocacy/posters/keepcalm/Keep-calm-and-use-postgres.png That's not very original but I feel it could be a nice poster for a PostgreSQL booth, especially if you're right next to the mongodb booth :P Whether this is useful or not, I let you decide. Anyway source files are here : https://github.com/postgresqlfr/pgfr_materials/tree/master/advocacy/posters/keepcalm

Mark, Gabrielle, should we use this for OSCON? Yeah, we can get one of those made. We need to order another banner anyway. Would you happen to know where to get the graphic for the other small banner that we used previously? Regards, Mark

If you've got stuff to ship, that'd be great; otherwise, I'm getting creative at Kinko's. ;)

Do you have a banner or anything else? I have a small one I can send you. Oh, and please send me your shipping address via private email so I don't have to hunt for it. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
Mark, > Yeah, we can get one of those made. We need to order another banner > anyway. Would you happen to know where to get the graphic for the > other small banner that we used previously? Well, for a small banner I have a 1' X 5' you can use. I'm pretty sure I have another canvas banner somewhere, I can look for it. The last banner you ordered was inadvertently 4' X 8', even though most of it was blank. You shipped it to me and the mail service damaged it rather badly. The question is what we want to decorate the booth with, and what we want to hand out: 1. we can do a generic PostgreSQL banner 2. we can do some Keep Calm posters. 3. I can get small Keep Calm posters to give away for about $0.70 each. 4. we'll want stickers. See if you can find out where selena ordered the transparent ones, people like those and my sticker printer can't do them. 5. We could do a 9.3 poster, per the t-shirt design I sent you. All of the above are possible, but we don't want to do *all* of them, it would be too much. Thoughts? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
Note: I'll be at OpenSourceBridge in a couple of weeks, so I can take Mark anything you ship to me (if you like), in advance of OSCON.

The last banner you ordered was inadvertently 4' X 8', even though most
of it was blank. You shipped it to me and the mail service damaged it
rather badly.
The question is what we want to decorate the booth with, and what we
want to hand out:
1. we can do a generic PostgreSQL banner
2. we can do some Keep Calm posters.
3. I can get small Keep Calm posters to give away for about $0.70 each.
4. we'll want stickers. See if you can find out where selena ordered
the transparent ones, people like those and my sticker printer can't do
them.
5. We could do a 9.3 poster, per the t-shirt design I sent you.
All of the above are possible, but we don't want to do *all* of them, it
would be too much. Thoughts?--

Sounds great! (I'll also bring the sousaphone, of course. Putting the "bass" in "database"... ;) )

Which reminds me: The SELF report:
- So, on Saturday morning (very early), I drove to the SouthEast LinuxFest to man the booth:
https://twitpic.com/cw1lkg
The booth was open from 9-5; I was the only worker for the PG booth. (Drove back home Saturday evening; *long* day.)- So, on Saturday morning (very early), I drove to the SouthEast LinuxFest to man the booth:
https://twitpic.com/cw1lkg
I'll be bringing more than half of everything you sent me (and, of course, the banner, which was surprisingly difficult to keep mounted, as it kept pulling off the table) to Mark at Portland next week. Plenty of everything left, although you'll probably want more stickers and Open flyers for OSCON. (I didn't get around to making Keep Calm stickers, but it was just as well, as we had so much left over.)

Hi Josh, We opted for just displaying the poster. You said you had one you could send? Let's do some of the small Keep Calm posters, and stickers. I got the sticker details from Selena, so we can take care of ordering those in Portland. I can also bring these guys again too: http://chelnik.tumblr.com/image/27611939907 Regards, Mark
(IMHO) You'll want the banner I'm bringing you next week; it's a nice, straightforward PostgreSQL banner.
