I am able to help out at booth on the 25th.
Would be cool to have a large poster with a big ASF logo and maybe all
projects listed. I am not experienced with posters. What does it take to
make one (sizes etc.) if we don't already have one?

Fair enough.
I might have access to a color laser printer on Tuesday, if that
happens I'll let you know by Tuesday noon. If that doesn't work out,
there should be a way to reimburse you for printing costs if you keep
the receipts.
See you next week!

Good idea. There was still some space available at the bottom.

Actually, I prefer the picture I chose because IMO it better reflects
what happens at ApacheCon (Discussions, Notebooks, Hacking...). The
people picture doesn't have so much to do with ApacheCon. Plus to most
people reading this brochure, the people on the picture will be
strangers.

You're right. Let's try it this way. I've trimmed the German version a
bit, too.

Hmm, this is from our website. I'm not sure how best to rephrase this. I
guess I need help here.

Good idea. I've set it to 4 characters. Looks better now without

Thanks, Bernd. Also many thanks for the German translation. I've had to
trim it a bit since German generally takes a few more characters. The
new PDFs are uploaded at: http://people.apache.org/~jeremias/asf/

Yeah, right. "run" is probably the wrong word. I've changed it to "has"
for the moment for the lack of a better phrasing. I don't think we need
to explain in such a brochure what the arrangements between the ASF and
the producer are. It's "our conference" at any rate. That's what I like
to express there. I'll gladly improve further if anyone has a proposal.
Thanks, Filip!
Bernd, would you still be available to create a German translation of
the brochure? I know it's on short notice by now. You could simply make
a copy of http://people.apache.org/~jeremias/asf/asf-brochure-en.xml and
I can publish the stylesheets and resources to produce the PDF.
Otherwise, I'll give it a try tomorrow or during the weekend.

Looks generally very good. Lots of useful information in a concise form.
A minor nit:
"There are four sponsorship levels, defined
by donation and in-return benefits of sponsorship."
doesn't read well IMO - it's not immediately obvious what "in-return" means.
===
I found the hyphenation some-
what dis-
tracting.
Would it be possible to see if the layout will still work if
hyphenation is disabled?
Or at least restricted to instances where at least 4 or so characters
remain in each part of the word?

great looking brochure. the one thing I would change, is the ApacheCon
piece, the ASF doesn't run the ApacheCon.
hopefully someone from the ApacheCon committee can fill in how we select
a vendor for ApacheCon

If these brochures are based on A4/A5 and if we run out of copies we
could still print more during the show, I presume.

Hi Jeremias,
> ...PDF: http://people.apache.org/~jeremias/asf/asf-brochure-en-up.pdf...
Great stuff! Sorry to answer late, I finally found some time to have a
closer look, here are some suggestions.
It says nothing about the board, maybe just "9 volunteer directors" in
"numbers" would do.
In "projects", it might be good to mention incubating ones, suggest
"plus a number of incubating projects (incubator.apache.org)".
AFAIK ApacheCon Amsterdam 2009 is planned for March 23-27.
Maybe the picture at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/twleung/2011802787/in/set-72157603145226237/
would look better? IIUC it's "all rights reserved" so I guess Ted
Leung would have to authorize its use.
I find the sponsorship part a bit too detailed compared to the rest,
here's an alternate suggestion:
**
The ASF Sponsorship Program is the official avenue for substantial,
non-directed monetary contributions to the ASF. It is the closest and
most direct method for a corporation or individual to support the ASF.
In return, ASF will make official acknowledgement and thanks for the
donation via public relations involvement (as appropriate according to
one of four sponsorship levels), sponsor logos, etc.
More details can be found at www.apache.org/foundation, or by
contacting fundraising@apache.org.
**
Thanks for your work!
Once you're done, I'd suggest informing prc@apache.org of this flyer,
so that others can reuse it as needed.

I had the flu and was quite busy otherwise lately, but finally I have a
first version of the ASF brochure which I'd like some feedback on (and
pointers to any typos I may have made). I've had to come up with some
text on my own to fit everything in the cramped space. Since I'm not
natively English speaking, there's a good chance that there's some
suboptimal text in places. Other text I have copied from our website.
I'm open for any comments. The goal is to have it ready by the end of
the week so there's still a chance to print a few sheets for OpenExpo
next week.
I ended up doing this in XSL with FOP. Sadly, Scribus only got in my way
but FOP was very cooperative. ;-)

BTW, does anybody who is planning to come to OpenExpo on Wednesday have
access to a decent color laser that he/she could print the brochures on
once the thing is ready? I assume we probably don't need more than 30-40
pieces (although I can always be wrong about that).

I've designed a proposal for the main booth poster (size A2, done in
Inkscape). I'd appreciate some feedback:
http://people.apache.org/~jeremias/asf/
I'm open for additional ideas on the design. Another thing I'm thinking
about doing is a A4-sized brochure (3-fold) with some basic information
about the ASF: basic values, conferences, sponsoring information, maybe
a project list... I want to do it at least in English but a German
version would also be a good idea since the majority of visitor will be
german-speaking. Bernd, if you want to take a stab at this, you're
welcome. I thought about doing this in Scribus.

As part of the booth arrangement, we get one poster (A2 sized) printed
that we can put up on the small wall at the booth (not great quality but
my FOP poster [1] isn't, either). See [2] for what it looked like last
time in Berne. I'm planning to get creative next week (provided we don't
already have something around which I don't assume).

If there are Apache related talks at the conference, make sure to
include these on whatever material is created at a booth. I think
that's a highly valuable thing to be doing.
Even if it's just a case of printing up some items on b+w paper. Which
talks/bofs to goto is a good call-to-action for a booth.
I'd also be tempted to have a sign-in sheet/poster/something for
Apache people who show up. If you're an Apache committer, put your
name here.
