Speaking of reality check, the data available is what registered participants have introduced at http://maemo.org/profile/edit/

What fields do you wish in the badge?

Texrat: THANK YOU for this. Even though Nokia is working on something, I'm so glad you took the lead and acted. So cool to see (when it's not me).

Your idea is pretty good (does need larger fonts for user name). But, I'd make all of the orange red to match with the back.

But, since it's being worked on (oh, well), I guess you don't need to do anything else.

I think First, Last, User, IRC, email would be enough (with User being the largest most prominent focus).

Tim

I'll agree with Tim. We certainly don't want to clutter it up too much. People can print up their own business cards if they want to supplement the badges.

FYI, I took the data for the idea in the first post directly from my maemo.org profile.

I'm still concerned about name lengths. As a database administrator, I was constantly frustrated by the designer's decision to limit last name fields to something like 15 characters and then I'd get a user from India who had twice that. However the solution could be to use two lines.

Also I went with the maemo.org colors on the front because the black/red theme was already represented on the back. The badges bridged the two. But then again this is probably academic.

Ok, so do you want to do this? It turns out that we hadn't make much progress and your first draft showed good will and skills.

We have A6 portrait plastic pockets: 10.5 ×14.8 centimetres.

Using an A4, the content could be:

- Full page schedule. (from the wiki, it's ok to have small fonts as it is for emergencies mostly)

- Half page map. (from westergasfabriek, I can find it as PDF)

- 2 x 1/4 page with identity (normally these pockets show in the wrong side, so a solution is to have 2 right sides)

The identity sides must have the Maemo Summit and westergasfabriek logos.

The database fields used for identity could be

maemo.org ID
Name Surname
Work
Primary project

You can leave space for people willing to stick avatar, logos and so on.

Do you think we really need primary project? I'd prefer to have a list of attendees with all the info and then use more space for the Maemo ID and Name (with the work name smaller).

Sure I'll lay it out-- I just need the source graphics!

Which graphics do you need? Anything other than:

Tim

Yeah, I'll need what Quim mentioned above, although I'm sure some of the source might be tabular rather than graphic.

I'm also wondering what will be used for the data merge, and whether A4 sheets will be pre-printed with static content and then overlaid with names, etc...

EDIT: in fact I'll just build the schedule from the wiki table. It would be nice to have a hi-res graphic of the map though, as well as diagrams of the venue.
