Summits, Conferences and Meetups workgroup - 2018-01-25

nyco: for the dinner, they will ask you to send in menu choices. We used Google Forms for this in previous years

oh, thx, good reminder

So what I usually did is call them, explain that like last year we'd like to come on thursday

The traditional menu

I'll copy the form from last time so you can edit it

nyco: what's your google account address?

on another note: swag design. I'm hoping that one of you can produce something, as I'm rubbish at stuff like that. Also, taking into account that things need to be done next week, we shouldn't wait to long.

nyco, FWIW, they do speak French - Florian always spoke to them in French - as well as Dutch.

Dave, I was hoping for you to do the "hello my JID is" sticker design, and for Ralph to design the banner.

Guus: I can have a table cloth made, but I found out that the XSF as such doesn't have a logo :-D

ralphm: use the XMPP logo?

(also, we probably need two table cloths, as we have two tables, iirc?)

Guus, I'll sort the sticker design now.

Thanks Dave

We'll probably need to decide today if we will do shirts - and if so, have a design.

(or anything to sell, basically)

Guus: good point. I'll probably use the logo on two sides and put XMPP Standards Foundation in the middle somehow, using the same font

ralphm: works for me :)

Guus, You Got Mail™

which of us is Tom Hanks?

Dave, could you use the updated logo? https://xmpp.org/images/logos/xmpp-logo.png

there also aught to be a svg of that, looking...

Guus, Oh, fart. I'll need an SVG, but I grabbed the first one I found on Google, which is the one on Wikipedia as it happens.

https://xmpp.org/theme/images/xmpp-logo.svg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP_Standards_Foundation <-- correct one?

Oh. Yes.

Dave, perhaps it's better to make it square, to prevent issues with the curvature in the sticker process be different from what you designed?

Ah, you mean the corners? I literally grabbed a template. I can make one like that too.

I'm assuming that they'll apply a curvature on the corners themselves. It'd look messy if that's slightly off from what we have in the design. It'd be safer if they can just chop off what the want.

'they' being stickermule

ralphm, were you going to do the banner design?

Guus, That OK?

awesome

I'll order 'm right away

I'm not doing a banner design, I was looking at table cloths

What would you want on a banner?

Dave: I have all the SVGs

I even made a proposal for a design for the summit shirts

Does 2" by 3" for those "hello my jid is" stickers seem about right?

Possible table-cloth design

For the banner, I was thinking for a bulletpointed list with our key characteristics, as listed on: https://xmpp.org/about/technology-overview.html Would be a nice conversation starter.

(note that it is 2000x2000mm, the tables are 1800 wide and 800 deep. So then we have 600 slack on each side, with the print being roughly 400 high)

Looks good, but Is that the correct font?

It might not render properly if you don't have the correct font indeed. Let me create a rendered version for you

Eurostile Bold Extended, right?

also, are you going for a white cloth? a black one might be retain its clean-ish look longer.

Guus, Whatever fits. I think they're 7:4 ratio as designed.

font looks ok on that one, thanks ralphm.

Dave, I can specify any size ,that's why I'm asking :)

The font is called OPTIEEdgarBold Extended

Guus: I think white is fine

We did that before

Google's first hit on OPTIEE Edgar Bold says "Original is Eurostile" - so it's probably pretty much the same :)

ok, white works for me too. Just being my mum and not allow me to wear white stuff :P

ok, ordered the stickers

Dave, Guus: I played some more

Snazzy.

Shall I one of each?

'order'

i.e. one Realtime Lounge and one XMPP Standards Foundation

ralphm: go for it
