Help Distribute MicroProfile Swag at DevNexus?

[Reza Rahman]

Folks,

As you probably know, DevNexus is coming up pretty soon and there are a
few MicroProfile related talks in the Jakarta EE track:
https://devnexus.com/schedule. It seems to me the vendor presence
generally is also pretty strong. As a happy coincidence, we have quite a
bit of swag budget left over from 2022.

By default, we plan to give a modest amount of swag to the three
speakers on MicroProfile topics to distribute during their talks.
However, I think we can do a lot better than that in terms of swag
distribution at DevNexus. So I have the following questions for you.

* Are you a community oriented person coming to DevNexus? Are you
willing to distribute some swag both at the event and maybe afterwards
at your JUG/company, etc? If so, how much in terms of "shirts" and
stickers? Note it's best if you are North America based, but I think we
can work around that if we need to.

* Does your company have a booth presence? If so, are you willing to
help distribute swag at your booth and related logistics? Can we send
swag directly to your booth?  If so, how much in terms of "shirts" and
stickers?

Thanks in advance for stepping up.

Cheers,

Reza

P.S.: I am also trying to work it out such that swag is distributed at
the Jakarta EE booth if possible.

Thank you, Emerson and Reza, for swag volunteering!

WG members + community, 

Please take a look below at my feedback for the 2022 MP Swag Allocation - Spreadsheet (public view and public editable) that Emerson/Reza could use to track this task as done for 2021.

It was discussed during a marketing call that Javaland takes place on March 20th-22nd and that we also wished to cover the MP speakers, if any were accepted at JVL.  That is if we successfully could cover the MP speakers at DevNexus.  Soft Plan for MP speakers' coverage at events in 2023 Q1. 

A brief search shows that Javaland has 2 MP sessions and 3 MicroProfilers participating.  Same as Devnexus, yet asking Jan (iJUG and contributor to Javaland organizers) could ensure that all MP speakers are covered. 

• Emily's session  The Current and Future of MicroProfile
  
• Rustam & Mads' session Modern Java App Development in the Cloud: MicroProfile, Quarkus, and Cloud Run 

- My thought goes into forging positive iterations with MP swag fun. Especially when highlighting MicroProfilers speaking at diverse events.  I recommend MP covers the three speakers at Javaland with the same swag numbers as the coverage at DevNexus.  30 hoodies (10 per speaker) and at least 1000 stickers.  That means 60 hoodies, 6 MicroProfilers, and two events in Q1, 2023 using a portion of the 2022 Swag. 

The leftover swag could be distributed equally to the 10 Members in 2022. What do others think? 

By default, we plan to give a modest amount of swag to the three
speakers on MicroProfile topics to distribute during their talks.

• 2 MP sessions, 3 MP speakers (Emily, Edwin, Josh). Agreed:  10 swag items to each speaker (💛Emily, Josh, and Edwin💛) 

 

However, I think we can do a lot better than that in terms of swag
distribution at DevNexus. So I have the following questions for you.

IMO --- Free-range swag coverage is a complicated task to iterate. Judging who gets what swag and keeping everyone happy is a road MP should do its best to avoid embarking on.

10 MPWG Members approved investment in hoodies only. Please take a look at the details below. 

The 2022 budget is ~USD 15,000. The hoodies were estimated at ~$52.76 per unit, costing about ~284 Hoodies. 

The discussion on what to print closed with Hoodie resolution on Dec 16th via the MPWG mailing list Re: [microprofile-wg] 2022 Marketing Proposal

The swag pricing estimate was provided on Dec 8th. Swag price

Thank you, EF Team, for that information. 

 

and
stickers? Note it's best if you are North America based, but I think we
can work around that if we need to.

It would be fantastic if, using the 2023 budget, at least 1000 MP stickers were printed to cover the six speakers at the Javaland and DevNexus (size and design file for the MP sticker).  For Reza/Emerson to figure out if possible with the EF Team.

 

* Does your company have a booth presence? If so, are you willing to

I recommend lowering the complexity of swag coverage, my feedback above on this explains.  Focusing on the ten members listed in the Swag Allocation spreadsheet here and the two events covering the 6 MP speakers simplifies matters greatly.

That is if the 2022 MP members agree.  

Lastly, to help Emerson and Reza, I updated the swag allocation sheet (public view and public editable) as follows:

1. Added Primeton
2. Added DevNexus
3. Added Javaland
   
4. Removed t-shirts 
5. Added Hoodies

Thanks in advance for stepping up.

Payara team is more than happy to help,

We have a booth to help with distributing, and I have been hitting this gym if you need hand just moving things around.

Happy to take as many as you want to give us, as we are not bringing many of our own shirts this year.

[Reza Rahman]

This is very helpful. We can similarly distribute shirts from the Microsoft booth. Hopefully other vendors can step up too?

I think in total we should look to distribute 200 shirts and 500 stickers at the event. Hopefully people in the community can step up to take around 100 more shirts and 300 more stickers back with them? From a Philly JUG standpoint I can take back 10 shirts and 50 stickers with me from the event.

What do others think?

IBM has a booth and we can distribute swags as well.

Thanks
