You'd think so, but the tendency is to print smaller type -- especially if there's a lot of information -- on smaller cards because, well, they're smaller. I'm not saying this is always the case, but it's natural human tendency, that's all. All I'm saying is that whatever we do, the text -- especially the person's m.o screen name -- needs to be HUGE.

Well, with my ancient and fading eyes I'll agree to the latter point. Maybe I need to buy some A4 paper and play...

Ok, I've done a little digging...

A4 paper folded as Quim suggested is 14.85 cm x 11.5 cm. I found some candidates for that size.

1.

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/24...rd_holder.html

I'm not sure that one will work though. It may also be too expensive.

2.

http://www.tootoo.com/d-p21466912-badge_holder/

Looks a little more like it. Size given is inches but it will work with horizontal room to spare.

Clear PVC Badge Holder- 3 7/8" x 6 11/16",
thickness: 0.25mm, insert size 3 13/16" x 5 7/8" [ 9.7 cm x 14.9 cm]
Different sizes and styles available for selection.
thickness:0.25mm, insert size 3 13/16" x 5 7/8"

Anyway my point is not to identify a supplier but to show that the size is covered.

Next I'll work up some layout ideas.

Umm, moving stuff between the presentations and setting it up and praying it actually works can be also quite an overhead for the staff.

But fair enough, maybe it's too much to ask.

For my own presentation (Sat 11:00-> "Track 1", don't know what room), I'd like to have:

a large TV or secondary projector to show the N900 UI via TV-Out cable (analog video, RCA)

The main projector in that room supporting DVI connector for my laptop

How about putting the funny names (Transformatorhuis) and the plain text names (N900) under the column titles ("Track 1") in the Schedule?

Update about wlan:

The WLAN networks will be built as follows:

1 network with 500 access points for the participants

1 network with 30 access points for the demo people and in case a more solid network is needed for the presenters there are 10 access points reserved

A couple of things to note:

- The coverage may be limited in de N800 / Kapel room as the antenna is located in the N810 / Machinegebouw big room. We have asked for 1 fixed Internet connection (to be used for 1 laptop at the time not to build a local WLAN). Being the room for the platform development maybe the guys can hack together a solution.

- Other rooms are OK including the Community room with plenty of tables and chairs - free out of lunch hours.

- There is no connectivity planned for the park. Any signal you get is just a bonus.

With one antenna I guess this really means access for 500 clients, which may be too little for 400 participants. Given the nature of the summit I can easily see each participant having 2 or 3 WLAN devices, so even if a small fraction connect more than one device at a time others won't be able to get a connection.

The coverage may be limited in de N800 / Kapel room

Just my luck :-/ Anyone know of any reasonable NL prepaid data plans? The ones listed in http://wiki.maemo.org/Data_plans#Netherlands all look like contract plans.

We have asked for 1 fixed Internet connection (to be used for 1 laptop at the time not to build a local WLAN). Being the room for the platform development maybe the guys can hack together a solution.

Hm, this is confusing... are we allowed to use more than one machine at a time on the fixed connection or not? If a local WLAN is OK I can help with setup.
