(Been talking about this a lot in IRC but not much on the list so I'll start from the top. tl;dr: working on an info booklet for FUDCon Tempe, need some information/content as specified near the end of the email)
I've been working on the FUDCon Tempe information booklet/packet thing: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011_packet The ticket is here. I should probably update it after I send this email. https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/50
The current plan is for it to be a 12-page 8.5x11" full-color stapled booklet. We're going to print 250 copies at a place where I live (Salina, KS) and the printing plus the shipping to Tempe will come in under budget (which is set at $600, from what I was last told by Robyn).
The working files for the booklet are here: http://ianweller.fedorapeople.org/fudcon-tempe-booklet/ If you're looking for a preview of each page, view the PNG files. The SVG and PDF files all have a eighth-inch bleed around the edges, at the request of the printer.
You may notice a bunch of the pages are blank, and there's a lot of missing info. That's what I plan to be spending most of this week on; I'd like to have a close-to-final iteration of these pages done by the end of the week so I can get them printed and shipped before next Friday, the 14th. (I leave Salina to go back to college the Tuesday after.)
Here's the content and information I need from others: - jsmith: I need a welcome letter from you for page 2. A PNG of your signature would be neat, too, but not required. - anybody: Do we have wireless connection information yet? If not, we could save space for it in the book and print labels, or something. - anybody: Can we get in touch with the sponsors and see if they want a little room for their logos on page 3? I've set off some space (you can see) but I doubt we use all of it for the sponsors. - event owners: confirmation that the proposed schedule on the wiki is going to be (very very very close to) the final event schedule - anybody local: the area vendors section on the wiki page needs to be updated. some sections are empty, and we probably also need locations close to the secondary hotel and on campus. - event owners/pfrields: any updates on ticket 86 (anti-harrassment policy)?
Thanks!

My 2c? Just do this.
Also, I would very much like to see key areas on the map highlighted, possibly even the default walking route from the hotel highlighted.
One last thing: I've just sent out an email to announce@fedoraproject.org to promote my idea to bring more fun to Fedora: Gaming! Specifically, using the Hospitality Suite on Friday and Sunday night for open board gaming.
I would love for the blurb and games list from the wiki to end up in the information booklet.
