Helpful links
Have a look at the BoothFAQ - it answers many important questions about FSFE
We had a booth in 2009
Leaflets and their sources can be found here: http://fsfe.org/about/printable/printable.html, http://download.fsfe.org/advocacy/
TODO
- Are any FSFE fellows speaking at CeBIT? When/Where? (rosso)
Leaflet on the pdreaders campaign (jan) DONE. However, the TeX sources mentioned above are for the green fellowship design, not the blueish FSFE design. There are more layout differences than just the colour, so, if someone can point me to the propper TeX sources, I would alter the leaflets: pdfreaders-leaflet.de.tex and pdfreaders-leaflet.en.tex.
- What kind of infrastructure is provided by CeBIT? (rosso)
- How many tickets do we get? (rosso)
- Name tags (rosso/julian)
- Items from last time's post processing that we will do something about:
A lot (A LOT) of people were reluctant to grab our info material because it was too cumbersome and asked for simple business cards to check "all the rest" _online_. (I personally welcome that idea to save some trees.) We were able to hand out the ones from Shane and Graeme, but it would be nice to have some general business card formatted info about the FSFE (like the old green fellowship mini cards). - We have made the standard bundle A5 sized, which is more handy. We also have the A6 sized Android flyers that contain FSFE's URL in case somebody finds A5 to cumbersome.
The Plussy stickers were a great help as a "door opener". We offered them "for free" to bypassing visitors and instantly had a starting point for a chat. After a very positive conversation, we had to leave them with the sticker and a nice impression of our organisation, but unfortunately, they will not be able to remember where to find more info about us, because the stickers have no indicator what or where the "plussy" belongs to. Once we noticed that, we started to handwrite "www.fsfe.org" on the back of the stickers. Anyway, this should be ON the stickers somewhere IMO. We want a rubber stamp to put fsfe.org on the sticker's back (julian)
Notes
- We decided only to use leaflets in English and German
- We have a small storage that should be sufficient to store the leaflets within our booth
- julian and rosso will go there on Monday already and have a look at the "infrastructure" provided
- We won't have a donation box. If people want to donate we should talk them into becoming fellows/doing a donation online.
Help
We still need your help on CeBIT. Having more supporters would enable us to think of other activities on/around CeBIT. To get involved, please get in touch with <rosso AT SPAMFREE fsfe DOT org>.
