[gentoo-project] Hunting for Gentoo Banners...

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1027 bytes --]

(This is a followup to lu_zero's gentoo-core question asking if there is
presently a banner in Europe).

There were at least four banners (see bugs 199713, 199715) that the
foundation paid for:
- Europe (wolf31o2+musikc took as checked luggage)
- US-East (shipped to wltjr for Florida Linux Show)
- US-West (shipped to omp for SCALE, later in the bay area)
- Asia (shipped to fox2mike for FOSS.IN & LCA)

As the new treasurer, I'm interested to know if all four banners still
exist.

If you also know of still-existing banners OTHER than these, I'm also
interested in knowing about them (I think drobbins may have had at least
one made).

If you happen to have one sitting around somewhere, and need it to get
out of your living space, please let me know! The foundation will pay to
ship it to the next useful conference.

says Florida and that's where wltjr was.

 From the Prague Linux Days 2015 I still have the Gentoo e.V. pop-up 
banner[1] that a3li mentioned, and can bring it to 32C3.
If someone from Berlin plans to travel to FOSDEM 2016, or travels both 
to 32C3 and FOSDEM 2016, that might be a way to get it there without 
paying shipping cost. It would be necessary to organize transport back 
to Berlin though.

There is also a second (PVC) banner in Berlin, but I am not sure who 
currently has it.

If you need to cover shipping for it back to a known location or
whomever else is going to take it to 32C3/FOSDEM2016, please pay for it,
and submit a bug to trustees for reimbursement (receipt/invoice is
mandatory).  If it's travelling as an piece of checked airline luggage,
we HAVE reimbursed for that previously.

Can you try to track it down please, then update this new wiki content:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Events#Banners

Ok. It might be that sping or someone else from Gentoo e.V. knows.
While I am at it, I will migrate all the information into a single wikitable 
if you don't mind.

Once you've found them, perhaps consider tracking them on this project
page, or someplace similar:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Events

That could become a clearinghouse for tracking stuff like this, links
to resources, and so on.  And of course anybody can submit a funding
request to the foundation for swag/etc but it is obviously
cost-effective to recycle banners/etc.  I believe you already
mentioned it elsewhere, but in general we've tried to keep them within
their regions to avoid tariffs/etc, and for convenience.

Still pending location confirmation on two pieces.

This specific banner was not located; at this point I'm willing to
consider it lost in the mists of time as the e.V. does have two other
banners (both in Berlin presently).

> - Asia (shipped to fox2mike for FOSS.IN & LCA)
This banner has just been located; it's presently with retired dev
fox2mike, in San Francisco.

It needs a new home, possibly back in Asia if there are going to be
future events in the eastern world. Suggestions for housing it greatly
welcomed.

As an update on that, I received an email from sping that the large white 
banner is in Berlin with the e.V. currently.
I will probably bring it to Prague LinuxDays 2016 + Gentoo miniconf this year 
(8+9 October 2016).

I am in Singapore. There is FOSSASIA here (a few days ago but I couldnt
make it, did go last year tho) and there must be other events too that I
am unaware of.
