[ZOO-PSC] ZOO booth and marketing previsional budget (FOSS4G only)

[nicolas bozon]

Dear PSC,

As suggested in last Venka's email, and with the additionnal information
provided by Daniel, we need to organize for ZOO booth sharing and to put
some fundings together to ensure ZOO booth and marketing at FOSS4G 2010.

I propose the following previsional budget (explanations follow):

--------------------------------------------------------------
ZOO commercial booth : 2500€ (3.400 US$)

ZOO booth LAN access (??): 300€ (410 US$)

ZOO brochure (x100) & posters (x3) : 150€ (205 US$)

ZOO usb sticks (x50): 300€ (410 US$)

ZOO t-shirts (x50) : 300€ (410 US$)

ZOO hostesses (x2) : 500€ (682 US$)

ZOO security man (x1): 250€ (341 US$)

*TOTAL: 4300€ (5.853 US$)*
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- I didn't manage to find out the LAN access fee at Palau de Congressos, and
put 300€. We need to ask Lorenzo or other locals to get that information.

- ZOO brochures must be printed and be available on the booth. ZOO Posters
will be put up on the booth's wall.

- ZOO usb sticks is a project to host ZOO Kernel on a single stick (linux or
Win32), with the ZOO logo on it. This will be very usefull for the ZOO
Workshop and will avoid participants to download all the stuff from SVN.
Furthermore, i think this is a very professional way to give access to our
code and to promote it.

- ZOO Tshirts are also a very cool way to promote our project. 1 free tshirt
for every ZOO Tribe member, and the remaining tees can be sold on the booth
(i suggest very friendly price like 5 or 10€)

- ZOO hostesses can be hired for very cheap from france (10€/hour for only
working hours for the three days), and this would be a very good point for
our marketing. They can welcome visitors on the booth, distibute brochures,
sell tshirts, speak a little english and wear ZOO tshirts.

- ZOO security man can be hired for very cheap from france (10€/hour for
only working hours for the three days) and this would be a very good point
for the booth secutity. He will probably be much cheaper than an insurance,
and he can watch at the booth and computers while nobody's on the booth.
This will let us attend all conferences without taking care of the booth.


These are only ideas to be discussed together and prices are approximative.
Please note that some fees havn't been taken into account into this
previsional budget, like computers and screens (some provided by GeoLabs and
3LIZ) and the two GeoLabs cars for bringing people and material from france.

So i think we must plan to get 6000 US$ to cover all the booth and marketing
related expenses.
Please tell me what you think on the proposed budget and items.
Other ideas and suggestion and for collecting such fundings are very
welcomed.

Best,

Nick
