Revision as of 19:56, 16 July 2012
We need a first, small, limited events box to help keep together tools for each event.
See the Events HowTo as well.
Contents
How does the box look like?
The whole package (box + contents) must not exceed 10 kg and must keep 55 x 35 x 25 cm (easier for someone to travel with it).
What's in the box?
Box contents can be donated, directly, or through http://www.mageia.org/donate/.
- (wish, no model/size decided) a box to fit all this, that can be handled by a single person, that has wheels and handles. Suggest medium (20kg, international roll-on size or a little larger) suitcase with at least one zipper poclet on the outside (for padlock &c during shipping).
- OK - box contents checklist including numbers (for CDs/stickers/goodies) and state of tablecloths (washed/not washed).
- (wish) event schedule and howto (in this very wiki at least; a print copy is good too)
- OK - cash box
- OK - a pen and a notebook
- (wish) two large pieces of cloth: one white, one black. (see tablecloths in showcase. Black may be redundant...)
- (wish) cables? RJ45, video, USB, multi powerplugs, type
- (wish) small medikit, scissors, thread
- (wish) velcro dots (both hook and fuzz), with adhesive back, two types (standard and strong)
- (wish) good-quality packaging tape in tape-gun
- (wish) good brass padlock to lock suitcase when travelling with someone
- (wish) cycle lock (click-together type with coated cable or chain) to lock Events Box to racks on trains - prevent theft of Box
- showcase:
- OK - big posters with Mageia logo - we have some
- OK - kakemono - we have one (and can get extra banners if wanted); posters fit in kakemono case
- (must have) - 2 tablecloths for exhibition tables, white with mageia logo placed to be at front of table, sized for 2 180cm long x 90cm wide x 80cm high tables (so, (2*180)+(2*80) long and 90+(2*80) wide.) Mageia logo can be on vinyl like banner and poster, and be fixed with double-sided tape or velcro, or can be printed onto the cloth.
- (wish) perspex or portable/foldable metal display stands for leaflets/brochures/cds. Metal will stand on floor beside tables, perspex on table (so metal might work better).
- (wish, no model decided, price tag max 300 €) dedicated projector
- (wish, no model decided, price tag max 200 € each) 2 dedicated laptops or small boxes (cubox, other?): one for projection, the other one for direct manipulation
- one potential candidate, white ASRock Ion330 + keyboard + mouse and cables (second hand, ~150 € worth, rda)
- for projection:
- (wish) simple slides calling for contributors, with specific & easy tasks,
- (wish) project presentation, demonstrating the product,
- (wish) give immediate contact hooks (Web, IRC, Twitter, other events)
- (wish) display a small twitter wall of the current event
- distribute:
- CD, DVD - we have some dics left for Mageia 1, we need a solution for Mageia 2
- (wish) a system to dump a Mageia system image to USB key or portable HD
- (wish) mageia-logo USB sticks
- (idea) one of the computer is used either as a Wi-Fi access point (advertised as "Get Mageia") or as a station in the local network, and advertises shared directories (FTP, Samba) containing Mageia ISOs
- other ways?
- goodies:
- tshirts - we have some left from FOSDEM 2011 - we need an inventory and new series
- stationery (stickers, contact list, flyers, contact cards/business cards, blank pre-printed CDs (to burn on the stand), CD sleeves) - we have some left - we need new ones - for booth and to distribute to attendees when one speaks at a conference
More to have, later
- interactive, live access to forums, IRC channels and other info source about the project
- Maybe a projector connected to a laptop? Maybe more than one? Forums, wiki, an event-central IRC channel? I think a projector displaying a live feed of #mageia-social would be a good place to start. --max 19:56, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

How does it travel?
This first box will be mostly affected to Europe events. It is small enough to be carried by a single person.
Base locations
Ideally, two locations, in France or in its direct periphery. Events that we will attend with this box are among: FOSDEM, LinuxTag, Solutions Linux, RMLL, OWF, what others in Europe?
Transportation costs
Use these max limits to estimate roughly the cost:
- weight: 10 kg
- dimensions: 55 x 35 x 25 cm
- declared value: 3000 €
- cities: Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nantes, Berlin, Bruxelles, London, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Lisbon
Indicative average max prices (UPS - https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc/request):
- Paris -> {Brussel,Berlin}, ~300 €
- Nantes -> Paris, ~100 € (about the same intra France?)
- 10kg 120 x 60 x 60 cm 6,90€ (intra Germany), 22,00€ Germany->France (http://www.dhl.de/en.html)
The actual cost may be less (the box may be lighter, smaller) or more (change in transportation fees).
Asking for the box
Wanted home candidates (multiple is better):
- Nantes, FR: rda
- Paris, FR: ?
- Berlin, DE: ?
- Brussel, BE: ?
- other?
