Great! I designed them and would be glad to answer any questions.

We used Precision Digital Imaging on SE 7th — http://www.precisiondigital.com/

I just pushed the InDesign files into our assets repo at: https://github.com/osbridge/osbp_assets/tree/master/2011/2011%20Program

Stuff to know:

- Most of the actual program content is in Links/OSB 2011 Schedule.indd, this file then gets placed into the other program files for output
- All of the files I've provided are the "base" designs for the badges, which we merged names on to using InDesign's data merge feature. The ruby script, parse_attendees.rb is used to transform CSV output from a custom report we set up in Eventbrite into a CSV with First Name, Last Name, Company, and Badge Type. This transformation is mostly required because we need to look at the coupon code that an attendee used at registration time in order to determine their badge type.
- For people who registered on-site or after or initial merged print run, we printed stickers using some custom software that Kirsten wrote to talk to the Eventbrite API. She can probably tell you a bit more about this if you need it.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
