nyco: for the dinner, they will ask you to send in menu choices. We used Google Forms for this in previous years
nyco
oh, thx, good reminder
danielhas left
ralphm
So what I usually did is call them, explain that like last year we'd like to come on thursday
ralphm
The traditional menu
ralphm
I'll copy the form from last time so you can edit it
ralphm
nyco: what's your google account address?
Guus
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.
Dave
nyco, FWIW, they do speak French - Florian always spoke to them in French - as well as Dutch.
Guus
Dave, I was hoping for you to do the "hello my JID is" sticker design, and for Ralph to design the banner.
ralphm
Guus: I can have a table cloth made, but I found out that the XSF as such doesn't have a logo :-D
Guus
ralphm: use the XMPP logo?
Guus
(also, we probably need two table cloths, as we have two tables, iirc?)
Dave
Guus, I'll sort the sticker design now.
Guus
Thanks Dave
Guus
We'll probably need to decide today if we will do shirts - and if so, have a design.
Guus
(or anything to sell, basically)
ralphm
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
Guus
ralphm: works for me :)
Dave
Guus, You Got Mailâ„¢
Guus
which of us is Tom Hanks?
Guus
Dave, could you use the updated logo? https://xmpp.org/images/logos/xmpp-logo.png
Guus
there also aught to be a svg of that, looking...
Dave
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.
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?
Dave
Ah, you mean the corners? I literally grabbed a template. I can make one like that too.
Guus
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.
Guus
'they' being stickermule
Guus
ralphm, were you going to do the banner design?
Dave
Guus, That OK?
Guus
awesome
Guus
I'll order 'm right away
ralphm
I'm not doing a banner design, I was looking at table cloths
ralphm
What would you want on a banner?
ralphm
Dave: I have all the SVGs
ralphm
I even made a proposal for a design for the summit shirts
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.
ralphm
(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)
Guus
Looks good, but Is that the correct font?
ralphm
It might not render properly if you don't have the correct font indeed. Let me create a rendered version for you
Guus
Eurostile Bold Extended, right?
Guus
also, are you going for a white cloth? a black one might be retain its clean-ish look longer.
