Summit 2011 - pamphlets?

[Robyn Bergeron]

I'm just going to take a moment to remind everyone that:

(a) Red Hat Summit is coming up in early May, and
(b) This list serves as a nice place for us to discuss Summit-related 
things. :)

And now to continue on with what I was getting at -

Mizmo (copied, not sure if you're on this list or not) - the pamphlets 
you folks created for SXSW... do you think there's an opportunity to 
branch out on those a bit and take them to some other work/hobby types? 
ie: Coder, sysadmin, etc? (Surely we can think of something more 
creative than those, but just as a start.)

I think that might be cool for Summit.

CC'ing Emily who created the awesome pamphlets....

Here's the ideas for additional pamphlets we came up with at SXSW:

- student
- web developer
- kids
- gamer
- sys admin
- cloud developer (would be nice for Summit)

I simply can't take this on. I have too many Summit tasks on my plate
already + a wedding and 2 week honeymoon between now and the Summit. If
someone would kindly volunteer and be a hero to develop the content for
the 6 pamphlets above (or just a subset of them, as long as it included
the 3 technical ones we'd be good), then maybe we could find a volunteer
on the design team to output them.

You're likely going to need a 1 week lead time on the production of the
pamphlets, though they are produced in Westford and I'd be happy to pick
them up and drive them down to the Summit if someone can handle the
rest.

I think those would all work, though
I'm not quite sure what a "cloud 
developer" is - is this more of a sysadmin type, or software engineer type?

Understood. Good luck :)

Emily: Is the source for the pamphlets available somewhere, or at least 
.pdfs for people to look at, so they know what kind of/how much content 
they'd need to make? Could we link it to the Summit Planning page?

Do we have a bill somewhere on how much they cost? (Jared, maybe you can 
answer this for Máirín?)

Are there leftovers from SXSW by chance?

I was envisioning a software engineer writing apps for the cloud,
relevant features to highlight in the pamphlet would be libvirt, virt
manager, and the deltacloud API.

Attached. Total was ~1400 for 1,250 of each brochure. Would probably be
less if we had our ducks in a row and didn't do a rush order. My gut
says we would probably practically only need maybe 350 of each for the
Summit, and if we need more the producer is local and we could pick up
more.

I have one small stack of each, maybe with 20 in each stack.

I could certainly spare a little time to layout new brochures if someone
could provide me with the information/copy. We just need a small
descriptive paragraph for each app, a screenshot if possible, and a logo
if possible. The previous brochures are obviously a good place to look
to see what kind of information we included about each app, and how much
space is available for the copy.

FWIW boxes of leftover pamphlets came my way in Westford. You would
likely not need any printed up of the original 4 for the Summit.
