Hi,
I had a conversation with Sirko on IRC and he pointed out that since a
FUDCon banner will be used just once and then discarded, it might be a
good idea to make it as a cloth banner and not a standee. A cloth
banner can be cut and reused, while a standee may have to just be
discarded. We can make a few generic Fedora project standee banners
instead (we already have a design for those), which we can use in
other events.
Thoughts?

How about having a generic FUDCon APAC standee and ship it off to
whatever FUDCon location every year.

I am of that opinion too, and I had mentioned that in the meeting
yesterday. It could be a handy 'gift' from one FUDCon organizing team
to another, with maybe a sticker stuck on the standee to mark its
journey through various events.

Yes, I did not preclude making event-specific banners altogether, I
said it would be a good idea to have a generic FUDCon banner to pass
on to other hosts. We will still need event-specific banners, but
they don't have to be standees.

Each FUDCon has their own logo, so this may not always work.

We could make it with the generic FUDCon logo (the four blue bubbles).

It's good to have an identity for each event -- plus the venue,
etc. need some mention too, esp. if they're hosting for gratis.
I think it'll be difficult to have a neutral FUDCon-only banner.

yes this it the FUDCon logo ;) not this other thing thats just a motiv
For the standup if it is just decoration, I would prefer a generic Fedora.
Yes sending it to next location sounds nice but hopefully you considered
shipping costs. I made 4 banners in Cambodia they did cost 45$ sending them
from India to Cambodia can cost easily the same.
So I would prefer doing generic Fedora one that can be used from
Ambassadors in India later on, I raised that topic on FAD back in November
and Siddesh agreed t it, thats why I brought it up again.
I have no problem doing cloth banners for just one fudcon, is more
acceptable as a standee which is to valuable to use it just once. Trying to
reuse them might not work in our case either but if you search for an idea,
what to do with them after I give you a hint. I brought a gift home from
our host in Phnom Penh, Development Innovations has the same problem, they
do a lot events and make a lot of banners for them always used only once,
so Greta came up with this:
http://img.susepaste.org/38802200
Pretty cool, I got a nice laptop bag even with an special bag for kabel and
other equipment like mouse. So imagine I do a banner design with a lot of
different fedora bubbles, you will have a nice fedora laptop bag afterwards
and its yours and unique, nobody has the same, just find the vendor ;)

Siddhesh,
Can we have a web button for our blogs?
Last time we had a nice button for FUDcon 2011 in Pune.
I still use it in my blog.
Would be nice if someone can update the image ;-)

A standee could be cut too, if these need to be re-used.
Last time we had a good balance of neutral (Fedora Project) and
event-specific banners and standees. The neutral ones can be re-used;
we even gave some off to other ambassadors from the region the last
time so they can use them.
However, storing the non-cloth banners is a big problem - they go bad
after a while (colour fades off, the material sticks, so it has to be
separated and that means damage). So these are usually unsuitable
after a while.
So cloth is a better option for re-use in that sense -- storage is
easier and they won't go bad.
Even then, I think we should have both, event-specific and neutral
banners / standees. There needs to be awareness of a conference
happening rather than just a project's promo materials at the venue.
We can make a few generic Fedora project standee banners
instead (we already have a design for those), which we can use in
other events.
We should do both. Also, the generic ones can be used for booth space
in later events.
In general, I agree we should look at using cloth-based material for
these banners/standees.

You mean the roll-up standees? I didn't know they could be modified that way.

Oh, I wasn't referring to the material of the banner, I was referring
to the type of banner, i.e. the vertical one that can be rolled up vs
the kind that could be hung at entrances. The former are likely
expensive but are considered more durable. So making a fudcon pune
2015 banner would be more cost-effective than a standee.

Right, I did not mean to say the opposite. The point was to decide on
the kind of banner, not banners themselves.

Agreed.

Yea; just cut them and make new frames for the new size.

From 2011, my recollection is that all of this material is not
expensive.
We even donated several of the standees to other ambassadors, and the
venue was interested in the wooden frames, which we donated to them.

Yea - we did not have cloth banners last time, but that's a good idea
for reasons you and I listed earlier.

Ooh yea, good point!
If we install them right (very tight), it shouldn't be a problem, but
that's just leaving things to chance.
