[FOSS4G-Oceania] Swag

[Sarah Goodwin]

Colouring book, could be great fun!! :) (esp if Oceania or Melbourne
specific)

I love these wearable map from splashmap <http://www.splash-maps.com>. and
could be really fun swag for a geo conference - we'd have to still design
it obviously... but probably this is not possible as too pricey (although
we could explore costs for batch cost). But not sure would anyone actually
use it ... actually if it was Melbourne specific I think they would, people
could draw on it...and we can mark the relevant buildings - we might need
to provide a wash-off-able (logo'd perhaps) pen too! We could continue this
with fun social media posts of people using their maps around the city!

A tea towel is at least useful! and could be very cool if we have a really
great design.... Could we run a tea-towel design competition? i.e. Using
open data and open software design a map for our "FOSS4G-Oceania"
merchandise (merc as this could go even beyond tea towels to posters or
flyers if we wanted). I think this could be fun and could create some buzz
in the community before the conference ...  I imagine we could get some
great entries even from outside the immediate community. And then it goes
to public vote, or we (I) can probably get some people together as a panel
of data vis /cartography / design experts to critic and shortlist them
first? we could hae even different designs and people get them at random -
we might see some swaps...

Bookmarks could be nice, although I rarely use them myself. Whilst I like
the idea of giving books to go with them but it seems expensive and
difficult to give people books relevant to them and I think we will end up
with lots being left behind partly as they weigh luggage down! It still
might be nice to have some relevant books available to win if we have money
available - maybe a collection of different ones and the draw happens in
the few days before the conference... Everyone with a ticket gets the
chance to win and then they choose a book relevant to them when they get
there (first come first serve on choice). (If people don't want a book then
we get to re-draw for prize winners).
