Paul Meyer (katexochen) | Hey, NixOS stand at fosdem was accepted. From where can we get NixOS rollups and stuff? | 10:25:07 |
djacu | Hey Paul Meyer (katexochen) I heard that the person running the booth last year had a rollup. Do you know who this might be? If it is too bothersome to track down, we can look into ordering a new banner. What else were you looking to bring to the booth? We talked about it a bit at the marketing meeting today. A table cloth? Stickers? Other swag? | 20:19:29 |

Paul Meyer (katexochen) | There wasn't a booth at fosdem last year. I'll ask around. Table cloth & stickers sounds good, I was thinking about organizing shirts. | 09:58:46 |

djacu | Hmm maybe I misunderstood but I thought there was a booth there previously. avocadoom did I misunderstand what you mentioned earlier?
No matter though. We can order a table cloth, stickers, and a new banner if you would like. Do you know how big the table and the booth space you will have? There are a variety of sizes for table cloths and banners and want to make sure we don't get something too big or too small.
Also, what were you think of regarding shirts?

Julien | There was a booth at fosdem 2 years ago | 09:04:49 |
Paul Meyer (katexochen) | table is 180x80cm | 09:08:20 |
Paul Meyer (katexochen) | Regarding the shirts, I thought about doing simple ones with logo in it (maybe some with rainbow logo, too) and sell them for the production costs. I'll try to contact some local shops, I don't want those super cheap shirts/prints from mass printing companies. | 09:14:23 |
Paul Meyer (katexochen) | last year we asked the community for shirt designs (https://discourse.nixos.org/t/call-for-t-shirt-designs-fosdem-2025-nix-merchandise/55391) but there wasn't much participation (and we didn't get the stand that year). | 09:17:39 |
Paul Meyer (katexochen) | bryan did the devroom at fosdem 2024, but hasn't got anything for a booth either. | 16:13:24 |
avocadoom | I dont want to interrupt your planning but remembering our booth at fodeam24 I'd highly opt for a banner or a rollup. In 24 we had a shirt hanging in the back. | 16:17:54 |

I was talking about FOSDEM24 | 16:18:13 |
avocadoom | We had a one day booth | 16:18:22 |
avocadoom | * We had a booth there next to Rocky Linux | 16:18:51 |
avocadoom | Re reading this thread we should maybe clarify what we interpret as last year 😂 | 16:26:06 |
Paul Meyer (katexochen) | 😂 Yes, I remember the fosdem24 booth and the shirt. That wasn't what I was talking about when mentioning shirts. | 17:22:57 |
Paul Meyer (katexochen) | I think a rollup is more versatile than a banner, given we don't know the stand will be placed in front of a wall or such. | 17:23:47 |
Paul Meyer (katexochen) | And I'd like shirts to sell not for hanging them in the back as seen before. ;) | 17:24:29 |
tomberek | We got some budget approved to spend on conferences, but have not used it yet: https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/issues/121 | 17:25:47 |

raboof | I'd like to send a note for https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixnl-zhf-hackday/72342 on the socials. I'll put together some text and a 1600x900 image in a bit. | 15:33:38 |
raboof | I have access to the marketing vault so I could probably send it myself, though it looks like buffer wants to send a verification code to marketing@nixos.org and I don't think I see the credentials for that in vault | 15:34:33 |
