Hey promo team !
One thing i always see during events is the use of rollups. What about acquiring one CentOS rollup (generic one, without any release/date inside) that can be used from events to events and be the promo box companion ? For example : http://www.rollup-express.com/lang-en/ Thoughts ?

Oh, I thought they were more expensive. We absolutely need the smallest one, as it might need to go on a plane.
Any ideas on what to put on there?

I was thinking about just the logo, name and url(s) .. Maybe a slogan (the one used actually is "sysadmin's choice") So nothing related to a version/event/whatever so that it can used for a long time :-) Price seems to be (in euros) : 49 (rollup) + 10 (image processing fee) + 15 (standard delivery cost in .be) = 74 euros * 1.21 (vat) = 89.54 € ... I haven't looked elsewhere, just gathering thoughts about that idea :-) -- Fabian Arrotin test -e /dev/human/brain || ( echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq ; echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger )

Should we ask around for suggestions ?
There is a shop down the Road. I will ask on Friday.

"Enterprise for anyone"?
I guess we need a decision and something of a design, soon.

Marcus,
I guess an "Error 404 - Not found" was not what you intended to show us?
So, on your behalf, "D'oh!".

No, but the one of 1und1. Going to upload it to a reliable host tomorrow.

Thanks, Marcus,
I'm not sure about the "anyone". Perhaps "everyone"?
Maybe it's just me (please don't rush to agree :-) ), so I'll just ask for other opinions.

IMHO, the emphasis on "Enterprise" is key, along with promotional phrases like "reliable, predictable and reproducible" [1].
And of course the cost to the consumer is very appealing.
But CentOS and the CentOS Project are certainly not a good fit for anyone and/or everyone [2].
The CentOS Project *builds* an enterprise-class OS. It's free for all. And thank goodness it's not a free-for-all...

That's in my opinion the essence to using Enterprise distributions and especially RHEL/CentOS. All other benefits are derived from that. For a flyer it's important to also go into those derived benefits.
And of course the cost to the consumer is very appealing.
If cost is appealing I think you'd have to be honest and also explain what you don't get when you don't pay for the real thing. The presentation on the wiki goes into that in more detail.
I would never emphasize that it is free (as in gratis) because that's emphasizing the least attractive part of what is offered. And you cannot compete on that with other Linux distributions anyway.
But CentOS and the CentOS Project are certainly not a good fit for anyone and/or everyone [2].
True, but the point we may want to get through is that, contrary to RHEL, anyone is able to use a real Enterprise Linux. That's why we created the stickers for a conference in Argentina with the slogan: "Enterprise Linux for the people" which fits the sense of socialist activism you feel in South-America very strongly.
I still think that is a very strong message to get through. Wether we use "for the people" or "everyone" or "the whole planet". In the same light one could say "Freeing Enterprise Linux since 2004" which also emphasizes that it is free (in the freedom sense).

Well said. :-)

Thank you. Well put. I really do *not* want to put any emphasis on the prize.

I would be happy with that. I like the E... F... E... sort-of alliteration. :-)

Fabian asked around for opinions on a slogan to put on there. What is wrong with "anyone"? Do you prefer "everyone"? Do you have other suggestions?

Okay, I'm still on my first coffee, you do prefer "everyone"
Why do things always have to happen on the last few days before needed? Why wasn't this discussion there when Fabian first asked around and we still had time?

If the banners have been ordered, we should go with whatever is on them right now. This conversation can perhaps feed into whatever we do for the next event.
