Kyle, did you want to draft the email? Otherwise I can. Kyle & I have had a bit of off-list email about jQuery (javascript library) and Google presentations. jQuery's Karl Swedberg and Jonathan Chaffer of GR have confirmed they'll come (need to followup with registration link). Google has not yet confirmed. I need to ask them tomorrow what's up. Kyle's sentiment (with which I agree) is to mention them in the email to draw interest, but not emphasize them too much. I suppose we shouldn't include Google until we have a confirmation. -- = Dave Brondsema : dave@brondsema.net http://www.brondsema.net : personal http://www.splike.com : programming <>< -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Are you referring to opensource topics or the nature of the event (editable)? I think it would be useful to have some topic description (e.g. "technology & design") in that first paragraph (in addition to the fuller list of possible topics later). And I think opensource as a description of the type of event isn't best: those who know what opensource is will associate it with OSS, not a type of conference.

We have our first registration (besides Kyle & me), presumably because of one of those, who knows. Anyway, the camper is Chris Woodruff and he says "I am interested in helping in any way. I have experience with the West Michigan Day of .NET. Very excited to learn of a Barcamp here in GR." I haven't subscribed him to this list, although we can if we want. I am going to subscribe him soon to the campers list. But I am going to send out our announcement email to the campers list before I subscribe him. When do we start sending out the announcements to all the user group lists? I'd like to do it ASAP (we've exactly 6 weeks to barcamp right now). But, I got a suggestion from Matt Heusser (local developer & tester and good networker) about making the announcement more like press releases, and visiting user groups personally. Kyle indicated interest in both. I'm not sure exactly why to make it more like a press release or how we'd do it. I do like the idea of visiting user groups, I think that'll be very good, but I don't want to do it at the cost of late announcements to those groups. So I guess we need to check and see when groups meet (record it on the wiki planning page) and if they are soon, then contact the organizers to see if we can give our pitch there. Or maybe do an email announcement and a pitch to the group? Certainly we can start blogging about it now, and sending individual emails to those we want to invite but aren't on a list. Or that we want to specifically invite. Use http://www.barcamp.org/BarCampGrandRapidsPublicityEmail#The2007Edition if you like. Finally, to reach companies & their employees, the only good idea I have right now is to start asking people of a good contact within companies and ask that contact to send the publicity email to anyone who might be interested. We'll need to do this on individual bases I think, And since we know the GRJUG members I think we can put a request for contacts in with the publicity email to the JUG list. I'll add that to the campers email I'm sending out, also. Perhaps add such a request to the registration page too? -- Dave Brondsema : dave@brondsema.net http://www.brondsema.net : personal http://www.splike.com : programming <>< From Kyle.Adams at gfs.com Mon Jun 11 07:50:11 2007 From: Kyle.Adams at gfs.com (Kyle Adams) Date: Mon Jun 11 07:48:52 2007 Subject: [Barcamp-organizers] Announcing barcamp everywhere In-Reply-To: <5870.70.141.10.84.1181437780.squirrel@webmail.brondsema.net> References: <5870.70.141.10.84.1181437780.squirrel@webmail.brondsema.net> Message-ID: <466CFEB2.6F65.0052.0@gfs.com> >>> "Dave Brondsema" 6/9/2007 9:09 PM >>> When do we start sending out the announcements to all the user group lists?

I just called them and 3-colors on each side would be $150 setup ($25 per color per side) and then $13.90 per shirt up to 50 shirts (after that the price drops a bit to 10-something I think). Quick math.. if we hit 40 shirts, we might as well jump to 50. So total of say, 30 shirts would be $567. 40-50 would be $706. Obviously we could play around with colors (e.g. b/w for sponsors on back) to lower some costs. I think it's about $1 per color per side per shirt. They need 2 weeks time for printing. So in 3 weeks at the end of June we should probably place our order, giving them 3 weeks. We can email him the artwork. They can take a credit card from Google for payment. I gave google a $500 ballpark number earlier and they seemed okay with it. I can call them back to give them vendor information, and ask about $700. Kyle, maybe you & I should pow-wow and work out a design? They also carry namebadges, but he suggested getting lanyards for cheap from office depot/max and printing the inserts ourself. -- = Dave Brondsema Software Developer Cornerstone University -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I made a few minor tweaks: http://tinyurl.com/2ltg77 In what format will we send out the releases? Regular emails will lose the graphic but will be best for the majority of our forums (email lists). If we stick with plain text than we can also send it as soon as we finish tweaking it. Maybe put a link to a PDF or standalone HTML page directly on our main page. I'm also a little hesitant that a "press release" will sound spammy to user groups (or their list moderators who could nix it altogether). Yes, as soon as you start reading it you know this isn't some sleazy company marketing. But we may need to preface the press release with some personal words to the user group. -- = Dave Brondsema Software Developer Cornerstone University -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I've marked on http://www.barcamp.org/BarCampGrandRapids2Planning#Marketing which user groups are meeting soon. I'll start sending out to (& marking off) the user groups for which there is no meeting soon.

Dan & Kyle, I know Jun 19 meetings are coming up soon, but I think you visting them would work out best for dividing up the groups. I don't know if we want to send our publicity email to the list before or after giving our pitch at the meeting, but when we contact the respective group leaders, they might know best. -- = Dave Brondsema Software Developer Cornerstone University -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

For that, I think Towsley's would charge $50 setup and about $10/shirt. Are there shipping charges for GoodStorm? What about timeframe for them to complete and ship the order? I'd like a place that had the quickest turn around. I don't know if that would be local or online. And could GoodStorm take our payment from a Google credit card?

I thought they were alternates. Two is good, although some places may only have space for one. And I wouldn't count on a two-phase campaign: that requires us to go to every place twice, and expects repeat customers/visitors that notice both. So for tear-offs I'd say have them on at least one. And if we don't use both at a given place, use the one with tear-offs. The URL is too long to remember until you get home.

He was all for it (as is evidenced by his request for the blurb).
