Hello all,
I'm wondering what the procedure would be to get funding from our project savings for publicity materials we can all use for conferences, etc.
I am hopeful to print up:
1.) brochure 2.) business cards 3.) stickers
I would ideally like to get this done before Siggraph (www.siggraph.org) in early August. Myself and Andy Fitzsimon are both going to be at the first ever Open Souce Pavilion which is a large shared space for Open Source creative applications on the main show floor which will feature Blender, Gimp, Inkscape, Open Clip Art Library, Creative Commons and others. Also, I can get you all into the exhibition for free if anyone is interested (I am writing another email about this).
What is the best procedure to go about seeking funds/reimbursements, and for making sure everyone can get access to these printed materials. I have some students from San Francisco Art Institute that will help me create them, which is cool.
I'm thinking this for a procedure:
1.) make a wiki page proposing the publicity materials
2.) set a window of approximately 3 days for people to comment and get feedback on the proposal
3.) Get the materials printed if ok and do any other requests
4.) Provide a clear path for others to get materials for conference and distribution
Does this sound like a good solution for this? Also, hopefully you all see the benefits in getting some things printed up like what I proposed.
Jon
