[Olpc-uk] [OLPC-UK] Publicity and Media IRC meeting 2009-05-20 20:00 BST

[Faisal Sadeq Khan]

Hi Dom,

I've added the "olpc-uk website" item to the agenda.

The olpc-uk project is still in its infancy, we will have to prioritise and
focus on the 20 percent that is really important in order to get things
moving on the "publicity and media" side. This is what the meeting seeks to
extrapolate, elucidate and then enunciate. We can "work smart on the right
things" as the saying goes.  The purpose of the meeting is to discuss what
work/areas such a team should be covering, and then discuss what we could,
realistically, work on right away.

I should add that I only work on olpc related matters on Wednesdays and
Fridays.

We'll chat tonight.
Best wishes.

Faisal

> Hi Faisal,

> Nice one, it would be good to get moving on the public facing side of the
> OLPC, are you and anyone around in London to have a design/planning
> catchup/pint and thrash out all the details about getting the site rolling.?
>
> I'm good for next wednesday... Could mix the virtual and realworld using
> EVocam or something to share with those unable to physically attend, as to
> be honest, starting the planning always works best with bits of paper, pens,
> wifi and a few laptops and all being in the same room with lots of coffee.
>
> What would also be very, very useful at this stage is for everyone to
> identify (list is good, short list is even better) the who, what and why's
> of the OLPC-UK site, that gives us some starting points for thinking about
> what we're going to achieve.
>
> Glad to hear someones started looking at branding and identity, have you
> got any early work to post?

> Cheers

>> 3) Supporter group and logo
>>
>> To get things moving I have started work on a facebook group and a logo.
>>
>> Logo
>>
>> I have looked at the various logos used by country specific olpc community
>> organisations to get an an idea of the logo we could use for the OLPC UK
>> group. To ensure a neat look I want to keep the olpc "branding". The whole
>> idea of a logo is to ensure that it is instinctively recognisable, indicate
>> it's origin.  I am not too keen on steering away from this. I did'nt really
>> like the logo used by olpc-france, by way of an example.
>>
>> My brother, who is an DTP expert, will be giving me a hand and I will be
>> working on a few more logos.
