Introduction

The information collected here is designed to assist you in organizing your local MeeGo event. Thank you for helping take our community one step towards greater visibility. In this MeeGo Local package, you will find various MeeGo Local collateral templates to help you create your own local event, while still building equity in the MeeGo brand. Please take some time to read through this local event guideline document. Enclosed you will find proper usage guidelines for the MeeGo Local visual identity, voice, templates, available color palette, and event setup tips. Please help us bring further solidarity and community through these shared-use assets.

For questions about using these assets, please contact amy.l.leeland@intel.com.

Proposed Logo Lockups

The official MeeGo Local Network Meetup and Regional Summit lockups are displayed above. As you might have noticed, there are specific clear-space and color usage guidelines. Please do your best to always work within these guidelines, to make sure that the MeeGo Local brand remains consistent and identifiable.

Follow these lockup guidelines:

• Do not alter the color palette of the MeeGo Local lockups.
• Stay within the pre-determined width of the lockup rectangle.
• Use the secondary-line in the lockup to display the city name/location and the date of your local event. Do not use this line for taglines, sentences, or any other non-specified usages.
• Do not reduce the size of the lockup to smaller than 2 inches wide in print formats, or 250px in onscreen formats.
• We encourage you to use the embedded Meegons [avatars]. Displayed are our collaborating Meegons and the werewolf Meegon.
• The lockups are to be used, without exception, only for local and regional MeeGo community events. They are not to be used in conjunction with sponsor logos, or as part of a large international event.
• We encourage the usage of the font DIN for the secondary [editable] location/date line. If you do not have access to DIN, please use Arial.

Unsuitable Usages

Below are representations of the MeeGo Local lockups that are NOT suitable for distribution. Unsuitable usages are not limited to those displayed below, but serve as an example of what liberties NOT to take with the MeeGo Meetup and Summit visual systems. Do not use these in the lockups: <italic line 2> <color shift> <3d altering> <skew/free transform> <banner effect> <using the original MeeGo logo> <creating tagline for line 2> <placing a sponsor logo next to the lockup> <extending the rectangle to encompass multiple logos>

Visual Asset Guidance Packaged with this document are various MeeGo Meetup and Summit collateral templates. Please pay close attention to the usage examples described for these templates. Similar to the logo lockup usage guidelines on the prior pages, do not take liberties with respect to the colors or modular systems outlined in the templates.

Regional MeeGo Networks (RMN) Local MeeGo Networks organize face to face meetings and other activities on the real ground. They bring what no online social network can provide: real handshakes, real kudos, real applause, real face to face chat. They are free as in beer and you might even get some real drinks for free as well! These networks can organize certain events and there are three separate event types described below.

MeeGo Events Types

• Local Network Meetups are small, personal events that happen on a regular basis and build the MeeGo community within your city.
• Regional MeeGo Summits are community-organized and self-funded micro-conferences, lasting a few days and drawing attendees from the immediate geographical area (e.g. Northern Europe or Western USA)
• International Events are the official, project-organized and funded MeeGo conferences, drawing participants from around the world.

Local Network Meetups Local MeeGo Network Meetups are intended to happen on a regular basis, for the purpose of demonstrations, furthering the development of the MeeGo project, and community interaction. These Meetups are intended to be brief, lasting only a few hours, and to pull together a local development audience. Below are guidelines for organizing a Local Network Meetup.

Be predictable. Meetups thrive on participating members having a dependable date to plan for. An example would be a Meetup happening on every 3rd Thursday of each month. Establishing a dependable date is paramount to the success of these community-building interactions.

Naming the Network, and the meetups. To keep MeeGo community solidarity, MeeGo Network Meetups should use the following name syntax. Network Naming Syntax: MeeGo Network <Region> Network Naming Examples: MeeGo Network Oregon MeeGo Network Finland Network Meetup Naming Syntax: MeeGo Network <Region> <City>—<date> Network Meetup Naming Examples: MeeGo Network Oregon Portland—02.11.2011 MeeGo Network Finland Tampere—02.11.2011

Homepage When running your MeeGo Network Meetup, we recommend that you create a page on the MeeGo wiki at: wiki.meego.com/Regional/MeeGo_Networks/Meetups This page can act as your Meetup homepage, providing scheduling, location, and other various informative posts.

Meetup Communications Do your best to disseminate Meetup meeting dates, topics, and requests, using mailing lists, Facebook, Diaspora, and Twitter. Below are the MeeGo Network guidelines, to help you manage your Meetup.

• Facebook page, use 'MeeGo CC' as the name for your RMN. CC is your country code. It is also advisable to use 'community' as the page format.
• For example: 'MeeGo FI', which in FB will eventually become: http://www.facebook.com/meegofi or http://www.facebook.com/meego-fi
• Diaspora* account, use 'MeeGo CC' as the name for your RMN. CC is your country code.
• For example: 'MeeGo FI', which in diaspora will become: meegofi@joindiaspora.com
• Twitter account; use 'MeeGo CC' as the name for your RMN. CC is your country code. For example, 'MeeGo FI', which in twitter will become: http://twitter.com/meegofi
• Mailing Lists should be used to reach out to your Network community. Some suggested services are www.freelists.org, and groups.google.com.
• IRC Channels should be used for real time discussions between Network members for the planning of Meetups. Please register for your network channel on the freenode IRC network, using the syntax #meego-region, such as #meego-oregon or #meego-fi

Holding Your Meetup Here are a few steps for keeping your Meetup structured, or at least a place to start: 1) Establish a MeeGo Meetup Team 2) Establish organizing roles: communications/collateral, logistic planning, and on-site functions. 3) Establish Meetup cadence, such as the every 3rd Thursday, as in the example used earlier. 4) Funding, and how to handle simple items, such as collateral printing (if needed), refreshments, or food sourcing.

Regional MeeGo SummitsRegional MeeGo Summits are to be hosted once to twice a year, and will often serve as a more formal micro-conference, bridging the gap between the international events and the Local Meetups. MeeGo Summits can be hosted annually, should last a couple of days, and should attract participants from the host region and immediate surroundings. Further attendee geographical reach is limited to the international events in most cases. The main difference of this micro-conference and the international project conferences is that the Summits are hosted by the community entirely and are not in any way managed or planned by the MeeGo Project. Efforts should be made to message the Summits accordingly, to avoid any confusion whatsoever. Because organizing a Summit takes quite a bit more work than a Meetup, there is a suggested process for creating your successful Regional Summit.

Naming the Summit. To keep MeeGo community solidarity, MeeGo Summits should use the following name syntax. Network Regional Summit Naming Syntax: MeeGo Network <Country> <City/State>—<date> Network Meetup Naming Examples: MeeGo Summit Finland Tampere—02.11.2011 MeeGo Summit US Portland, OR—02.11.2011

Homepage When running your MeeGo Summit, we recommend that you create a page on the MeeGo wiki at: wiki.meego.com/Regional/MeeGo_Networks/Summits This page can act as your Summit homepage, providing scheduling, location, and other various informative posts.

Summit Communications Do your best to disseminate Summit meeting dates, topics, and requests using mailing lists, Facebook, Diaspora, and Twitter. Below are the MeeGo Network guidelines to help you manage your Meetup.

• Facebook page, use 'MeeGo CC Year' as the name for your Summit. CC is your country code. It is also advisable to use 'community' as the page format.
• For example: 'MeeGo FI 2011', which in FB will eventually become: http://www.facebook.com/meegofi2011 or http://www.facebook.com/meego-fi-2011
• Diaspora* account, use 'MeeGo CC 2011' as the name for your Summit. CC is your country code.
• For example: 'MeeGo FI 2011', which in diaspora will become: meegofi2011@joindiaspora.com
• Twitter account, use 'Meego CC 2011' as the name for your Summit. CC is your country code. For example, 'MeeGo FI 2011', which in twitter will become: http://twitter.com/meegofi2011 or you are free to use your www.twitter.com/meegofi Network handle for simplicity.
• Mailing Lists should be used to reach out to your Network community. Some suggested services are www.freelists.org, and groups.google.com.
• IRC Channels should be used for real time discussions between Network members to plan Summits. Please register for your network channel on the freenode IRC network, using the syntax #meego-domain<year>, such as #meego-US2011 or #meego-fi2011

Holding Your Summit Here are a few steps to help you organize your regional Summit. 1) Establish a MeeGo Summit Team using your region’s Local MeeGo Network wiki. The suggested format is:

Title:MeeGo Summit $REGION $YEAR(For example: MeeGo Summit FI 2011)

Body: We are interested in organizing a Regional MeeGo Summit in $REGION. If you are interested in attending, please respond. If you are interested in serving as part of the Summit Team, please respond with your contact information. 2) Hold your first meeting to establish roles and a Summit Plan. You will likely want to cover the following topics: team members, Summit logistics, funding, speakers, marketing/communications, partners/sponsors, and volunteer participation funnels. 3) Add a new wiki page for your summit to the MeeGo wiki: wiki.meego.com/Regional/MeeGo_Networks/Meetups. 4) Add your Summit to the Future MeeGo Summits page: http://wiki.meego.com/Local_MeeGo_Networks/Regional_MeeGo_Summits#Future_MeeGo_Summits a. Initially, add your Summit with the suffix ‘Candidate’. b. Once your Summit is confirmed, change its name to have a prefix of ‘RMS’ in the title and remove the previous stated suffix. 5) During and after the conference, post Summit BKMs (Best-Known-Methods) for the community to learn from. 6) After the Summit, move your Summit wiki page to the wiki’s archives section.

International Events The MeeGo Project is solely responsible for the creation, planning, and marketing of international MeeGo events. An example of an international MeeGo event would be the Dublin 2010 event and the upcoming MeeGo San Francisco 2011 event. This guide is NOT intended for the creation of these international events. Instead, this mention is made to serve as a point of reference for the two event types and the distinct differences between the local events and the international events. Listed below are event types which the community should organize, and this reference guide and assets are intended to aid in the planning of them.

If you have further questions or would like advice on setting up your event, please come to the bi-weekly MeeGo Events meeting. They will be held on the #meego-meeting IRC starting Tuesday January 25th , 2011, 17:00UTC, 9:00PST.
