[Debconf-team] Lanyards, badge holders and badges
Hi all,
following up on the discussion that happenned today on IRC, let me try
to sommarize its origin and outcomes.
The situation is that we need attendee badges for all sorts of reasons
and the usual way to do that has been that the conference would provide
these individual badges, the badges holders and lanyards (usually). As
these three things are separate, let's try to keep them so.
a) Lanyards
One of our silver sponsors is apparently happy to provide enough branded
(not Debian-branded, sponsor-branded) lanyards for everyone, for free.
Given that they are a sponsor already, I think it's sane to let them
provide the lanyards to the DebConf attendees. For reference, a similar
offer has been made by a Bronze sponsor.

b) Badge holders
The current idea is to buy 300 A7 badge holders from Roscheba [0], for
roughly 126€, aka 160 CHF.

Apparently Holger might have a cheaper solution; Holger?
c) Individual badges
There are roughly two solutions there: strong credit-card format or
paperboard. One concern that was rised was that it mattered to have two-
sided badges
Credit-card format: A Bronze sponsor is proposing us 0.30 CHF/item for
one-sided black&white, or 0.65 CHF/item for one-sided colour.
Paperboard: If we fold A6 in two, we can do 4 double-sided badges per A4
sheet printed only on one side (or 8 double-sided badges if we print on
two sides, but it's trickier to succeed). The printing of such A4 sheets
(that we can then cut ourselves) is likely to be around 30 CHF/item.
I suggest to go with the second possibility.
d) Design
I intend to work on three generic designs: Organiser, Staff and
Attendee, but the final layout will depend on the shape selected in c),
above. AFAIK there was no personalisation used: photo and informations
from penta, right?
Thanks in advance, cheers,
OdyX
