We have a list of these items on our Conference kit page[2]. We have a
booth at Scale that we will need to help organize for Jean.

The BoD has just agreed to use MOO minicards for BoD and MC members, so
Jean will receive her business cards for SCALE.

If you want to have a look at the layout, you can find it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/116590/minicards.pdf (just look at the visual
layout). We have agreed to use the following standard title: Member,
Board of Directors instead of Director, xxx, as in the example.


Eliane: Thanks. Once you upload the source files I will put up a link
to them.

Italo: Thanks. Could I upload this to the wiki and then link to it on
the wiki resources page? If you use if for BoD and MC members, could
we also expand it for use by TDF members and conference business
cards? Then we would all carry the same cards and this would add to
the visibility of our brand.

BTW ... I know that we are not to print business cards freely, I just
want to leave examples on the wiki resources page so that we can refer
to these the next time someone asks about them. We are normally asked
about them close to conference times when people are busy.

BTW .. I have been looking at VistPrint which serves both the N. & S.
Americas and Europe[1]. They also sell conference booth materials,
swag, clothing and other marketing items that seems reasonably priced.
We could purchase from them as well. If we approached them, they may
give us corporate discount if we were to purchase all our items from
them. Their printing locations are in Windsor, Canada (next the the US
border), you can virtually yell across the river to our American
cousins from there, and, Venlo IT. They also have an office in Paris.[2]

It looks like they could serve a good part of our needs in these
geographical areas. We would have to find another service such as them
for the Asian, Arabian, African etc. markets. But it looks like
VistaPrint could also serve these markets as well.

IMO, VistaPrint would be a good choice of supplier for the
TDF/LibreOffice. We have been talking about a TDF/LibreOffice store
for quite a while, and I think it would be more efficient to get
VistaPrint to work out a TDF/LibreOffice group of products that could
support our needs. IMO we would not be efficient enough to support a
LibreOffice store, we just lack the manpower to do this.

Cheers,

Marc

We've been using Vistaprint for several year now.

Mostly for business card runs (250/per) but, also, some swag (e.g. pens,
t-shirts, bags). Overall, apart from the t-shirts, we've been happy with
the quality of the runs. As well, they've been very responsive to
emailed inquiries. The only, slight, downside in all of this has been
their pricing structure: it's not what I'd call fully 'transparent'. I'm
not saying it's bad but, for example, they might still charge for
uploading custom images.

I'm guessing no one's heard of an "open source friendly" print shop,
similar to World Label?

Thanks for letting us know. I'll take a closer look at their pages again.
