ralphmnyco: for the dinner, they will ask you to send in menu choices. We used Google Forms for this in previous years
nycooh, thx, good reminder
danielhas left
ralphmSo what I usually did is call them, explain that like last year we'd like to come on thursday
ralphmThe traditional menu
ralphmI'll copy the form from last time so you can edit it
ralphmnyco: what's your google account address?
Guuson 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.
Davenyco, FWIW, they do speak French - Florian always spoke to them in French - as well as Dutch.
GuusDave, I was hoping for you to do the "hello my JID is" sticker design, and for Ralph to design the banner.
ralphmGuus: I can have a table cloth made, but I found out that the XSF as such doesn't have a logo :-D
Guusralphm: use the XMPP logo?
Guus(also, we probably need two table cloths, as we have two tables, iirc?)
DaveGuus, I'll sort the sticker design now.
GuusThanks Dave
GuusWe'll probably need to decide today if we will do shirts - and if so, have a design.
Guus(or anything to sell, basically)
ralphmGuus: good point. I'll probably use the logo on two sides and put XMPP Standards Foundation in the middle somehow, using the same font
Guusralphm: works for me :)
DaveGuus, You Got Mail™
Guuswhich of us is Tom Hanks?
GuusDave, could you use the updated logo? https://xmpp.org/images/logos/xmpp-logo.png
Guusthere also aught to be a svg of that, looking...
DaveGuus, 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.
GuusDave, perhaps it's better to make it square, to prevent issues with the curvature in the sticker process be different from what you designed?
DaveAh, you mean the corners? I literally grabbed a template. I can make one like that too.
GuusI'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
Guusralphm, were you going to do the banner design?
DaveGuus, That OK?
Guusawesome
GuusI'll order 'm right away
ralphmI'm not doing a banner design, I was looking at table cloths
ralphmWhat would you want on a banner?
ralphmDave: I have all the SVGs
ralphmI even made a proposal for a design for the summit shirts
GuusFor 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)
GuusLooks good, but Is that the correct font?
ralphmIt might not render properly if you don't have the correct font indeed. Let me create a rendered version for you
GuusEurostile Bold Extended, right?
Guusalso, are you going for a white cloth? a black one might be retain its clean-ish look longer.
