Drupal Means Business labels

[lindsayo]

The DMB folks will have a much smaller badglet. I'm only doing the ID data on one panel, instead of two. Would be great if we could print these two up to minimize waste.

The layout of the ID information and QR code won't change, the only difference is that these are 1-up, not 2-up.

When you say it's "much smaller", that is only in reference to the fact that it is one-sided?

How do you propose we handle batching? It's currently designed for manual entry of one-off labels from a web browser.

Also, it's official. You are trying to kill me since there are less than 2 weeks left :P

I thought the point of getting you access to the DrupalCon website was so we could print data from users, rather than just entering them into the form manually. If not, okay, we'll do it this way for now. I told Drumm I thought batching was ambitious for before the con, but that I thought you were setting up a button next to user profiles.

As I said, it is CURRENTLY setup for manual entry of one-off labels. I wanted access to the DC website so that I could try and get it integrated to some degree. Getting it to pull data for one label is one thing, but jumping to any kind of batching is another since it's only designed for handling single labels.

Plus, I'm not clear on what we would batch. These are walk-ups, right?

There will be the Drupal Means Business folks - I am expecting about 50 of them, but am having 100 of these badgelets printed.

For the normal con badgelets, there will be probably 50-100 people who register between now (we are doing the bulk of the badgelets today, so the data has been dumped and cleaned from the website as of last night) and Tuesday next week. That's the 2nd print run and the printer here will handle it.

The 3rd print run will be for the people who register from Monday or Tuesday next week to whenever on Saturday we decide to do a batch label printing.

It's that 3rd print run for which I'm hoping for batch label printing. If that's not feasible - which I completely understand - then I will do those labels as they come in during the week, as soon as I have the DYMO. Then I'll stick them on blank badgelets on Saturday when we do the badgelet kitting (alphabetizing, assembling the badgelets with party tickets, etc into envelopes). I think that strategy is also feasible.

If you can give me a button, that would do me fine, I think, will just mean I print a few at a time through the week.
