Summary
 There is a project called Fedora EventBox http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EventBox  i think for small events this would be very useful....for big events like Linuxtag not  for events which are covered by one or two person  the problem will be the money for this....and the delivery to the locations +1  i'm quite agree with this  in small events, there are few ambassadors  they can't provides all stuff by their own  the real problem is delay  if a set is readdy, it easier to ship it quickly  Yes, it's a usefull tool. Personally i think if we coordinate this project something good can be done  We can create a timetable, where people ask for material  and then you can easly manage this  i think we have to go step by step  providing computer is a bit hard  at first we can make a small event box  with flyers, banners, (t-shirt) goodies, and of course dvds <Pingoomax> we all have pcs that we can bring to events <Pingoomax> it's better to have a small set that we can send quicly to ambassadors <Pingoomax> than a really big an great one which is really hard to send +1 +1 Pingoomax i think the only thing what we should provide is a "guide" how to build a booth (where he can put things with good effects) <Pingoomax> +1 every event should have a table a wall a bit clue band and our artwork has a short lifecycle so Banners must produce every time new therefore we are ambassadors to organize by our own and react flexible on the given situation <FrancescoUgolini> +1 <FrancescoUgolini> KageSenshi <KageSenshi> +1 <KageSenshi> adding a lil bit to kital suggestion ... <KageSenshi> in each countries theres a few ambassadors .. <KageSenshi> some stuff can be provided by the ambassadors themselves <KageSenshi> i'm suggesting every country have their own eventbox whch they make themselves to use among them .. with the international eventbox as a compliment to it <FrancescoUgolini> KageSenshi, what you say is correct, the problem is that a country event box is usefull only for country with more than 5 ambassadors <fabian_a> standard-banners can reused.... <fabian_a> i think after linuxtag there will be a lot of stuff in germany <fabian_a> i think that this stuff can reused at events in other european countries <FrancescoUgolini> +1 <KageSenshi> +1 +1 has anyone ever considered contacting a world-wide express delivery company with all this sending back and forth of materials, and get some account with a nice discount (sponsoring?) or something? <FrancescoUgolini> kanarip, i think we have to do this :) <KageSenshi> +1 i think the eventbox "guide" could contain expiriences like "to stick the dvd on a desk so the people must ask" or "to produce templates for flyers" you can put on the desk eof FrancescoUgolini, include the free media program as well, maybe there's other SIGs / Projects that would need such an account / send a lot of stuff <FrancescoUgolini> yes, i think guide is the most usefull thing, becaumse many time people don't know how to use their material <FrancescoUgolini> kanarip, yes, we will do this.

Tomorrow is a party for schools and pupils. We will show gcompris and other tools for kids on several Fedora and Ubuntu systems. It is organized by the german green party in Bremen.
