Thanks! Quick feedback.

As said the plastic pockets are portrait and your proposal is landscape!

maemo.org logo without org is a no-go. Why not sticking to the Summit logo being used in shirts and all the event signaling? I will post samples once I get to the office.

- Margins should be better white since it's difficult to guarantee perfect folding.

It's also time to decide the fields.

I like the current deisgn of nickname and real name.

I think employer andprimary project should go there as well. If someone doesn't want to specify they can simply leave the field empty in their profile.

About the "Member since..." sounds quite elitist in such context. The Summit is a great opportunity to make newcomers feel like first class contributors! Also, the Summit is not only a maemo.org membership gathering.

I like the one with the WesterGasFabriek logo. Possibly think of something like this:

Code:

maemo.org        X X X

 USERNAME
 Real Name
 Company/Project

  WesterGasFabriek

"X X X" indicates the Maemo Summit/Amsterdam logo.

Of course, I don't mean to direct your work. It's looking good so far. Just a suggestion.

Thank!
Tim

No problem, Tim, and thanks. Sorry Quim for overlooking the portrait requirement! Easily fixed though.

Also the margins are white so...??? EDIT: do you mean the middle of the map? If need be I can break it in half and have a thin white space between the halves.

Anyway, here's the back:

I'll get to work on the requests...

Yes, now I see the margins are indeed white. Sorry!

Correction to the password: maemo2009 (all with low case letters)

The merchandising and other graphics can be found at http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Summit_2...g_and_printing

See http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:MaemoLoc...0x180cmAll.pdf for the signalling

I have also uploaded the maps we have from WesterGasFabriek:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:WGkaart.300dpi.jpg my prefer since it's a bit clearer and includes bus stops plus some other little details e.g. more icons for restaurants.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Image:Wgfplgr_schema.jpg - not as nice as the blue ones but very clear concentrating on the area where the Summit happens.

Thanks Quim. I got all those maps from your email; I'll switch to the one you prefer (I like it too).

As for the password, I changed the case, but it looks like Publisher put it back to capital M and I missed it. I have convinced Publisher I know what I'm doing :D

I can't seem to find the "X X X" logo by itself. I also don't know if the one on the tee shirt will be readable on the badge...

I had to move the WLAN notes to the back, but there was plenty of room there.

Any comments on the back image as well?

Cool! You made everything fit.

- Is the background intentional? I think simply white is better for readability.

- Why all these underlined words? Better remove them to have the page cleaner.

- The Time column can be formatted putting only the starting time and saving precious horizontal width for the rest of columns. There are many words hyphenated currently and perhaps this helps.

- At least on Friday and Sunday hyphenated words could be avoided just by making them jump to a new line. There is enough vertical space for that.

Friday:

- "Expert streams" line can be deleted.

- Track chairs can be deleted.

- "Mikko Levonmaa, Ixonos" can be deleted.

- "Maemo Party" is the only item in bold, perhaps not necessary.

- "coordinated by Jussi Makinen" can be deleted.


Saturday: the lightning talsk better without bullets, just like on Sunday.

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 badge ideas
 
The fact that the badges are portrait is another little irony here.

(I guess it would be too snarky to have landscape badges in the portrait pouches? ;) )

Texrat, could you make sure that "qole" is lower case? Probably will be upper case everywhere else, but hey, if I can fix it here...

Mmm... looks the same as your previous one?
