Conferences FOSDEM Aftermath

Lasse Schuirmann edited this page Mar 5, 2016 · 1 revision

What we had

  • 3 normal coala T Shirts to give away for donations from 15 euros upwards
  • 60 Flyers
  • 60 Bottles of beer, ASTRA, for any donation
  • 12 bottles of cola, for any donation
  • Fabian's business cards
  • 2 great monitors, showing the coala-analyzer.org website, one for us, one for the viewers - mirrored
  • A standalone PC without wifi
  • A cup to collect donations
  • Long sleeved coala shirts for us
  • Laptops
  • Lots of cables

What was good

  • The cup was great! People can donate without anyone looking at the amount, people can give 20 and take out 10.
  • Having two mirrored huge and good widescreens was awesome!
  • Having business cards for technical people that want to continue discussions with a particular person was awesome.
  • ASTRA beer was fine. Good with the stickers.
  • 60 bottles were just about right.
  • The beer/donation system was neat. People liked it and usually paid way more than needed.
  • Flyers have the gitter channel.
  • Long sleeved shirts! It was cold and they are long sleeved so everything was exactly right :)

What can be improved

  • Not enough flyers! At least print 200pc.
  • Flyers do not have the website! That's missing.
  • We had no stickers. Everybody wants those!
  • Not enough T Shirts. There is demand for this, we should buy more and offer them over multiple conferences in various sizes. People seem to like it too.
  • Way more coke (maybe double or triple?) and maybe partly sprite or something; it was all gone very fast on only one day.
  • The PC had no wifi, we bridged it with a laptop but that was always shaky and when @sils1297 did the talk the laptop was gone.
