Re: Stall Posters

Hey all, thanks for the fast feedback!

You can find updated versions here (PDF, and the Inkscape SVG source file for 
Carl to improve the phrasing):

Therein, I fixed the mentioned typos and also added the clarifications 
suggested by David. Tomorrow, I will discuss the design, logo, etc. with Jens. 
An update with the to expected design updates will come ASAP after that 
meeting to this list. Before that, I suggest to concentrate on the content.

Since Carl raised the most questions, I directly quote them and answer inline:

From my experience, from last year and also other exhibitions, I prefer 
posters with content that is detailed enough for a small ad-hoc presentation. 
This means, when someone comes somewhat close to the stall, we grab him/her 
and use the poster as guideline to explain the main points about frameworks 
and why KF5 are important for their company/product. So, the poster is used in 
the meaning of a table of content with some more detailed bullet points.

That of course comes with the downside of being detailed. But considering the 
audience, who will spent a considerable amount of time at the poster 
presentations, I think it is fine for the QtWS to have more crowded poster 
than usual -- of course, getting the content better sorted and cleared would 
be great though!

Done.

On tomorrow's discussion list with Jens.

You are very welcome :)

Yes, but that is something the people at the stall must handle. For the 
handout material, AFAIK this is not possible this year, since the conference 
has a no-handout policy. And actually, I think that we have much more impact 
if an experienced KDE developer explains a future customer/supporter/
contributor why and where frameworks can be used, than handing out information 
sheets that usually go to the next bin.

Cheers,
Andreas
