Illustration Artwork from Ricardo

[bencallahan]

This is the Illustrator file Ricardo provided of the artwork he could find. He said he’s missing 2010 speakers. I’ve also asked him to provide the illustration of Dan.

Awesome; i still have mine around here somewhere also. Feel free to toss out concepts and ideas on this.

[mattgraham]

or maybe I dont have mine. Looks like we're missing 2013 also?

[mattgraham]

(and cherrie would be nice)

[bencallahan]

Here’s Dan:

Maybe we can get Ricardo to put every single character (just heads?) he's Illustrated for FED into one giant graphic and that's what we print on the shirt? Unless it's too busy and ridiculous looking. We could use that for the site somewhere too.

Do we allow people to opt-out?

... doesn't include next-day talks ...

Love the idea! Im sure we can find the images online also.

[mattgraham]

maybe we just put frontend logo etc. on the front and a list of names etc on the back as if it was a class graduation shirt etc.

[bencallahan]

This is great, guys. Unfortunately, Ricardo can’t seem to find all the speakers. Seems like we should do something other than all the faces if we can’t actually get ALL the faces...

Jeremy Loyd, from my team, is working on a design. Will share this with him as well. We have to get the shirt stuff figured out immediately, as the CB guys are heading out of the country next week!

[chriscoyier]

I could dig up emails for everyone on that list probably. Should we send one to the whole list asking folks if they would like to write a short "thank you" that we ultimately use on the site?

[bencallahan]

Would be great to get them to submit a thank you or a story, etc. That would fit nicely into the site.

Could also ask them to share the shirt URL once it’s live?

[chriscoyier]

If the plan is to allow people to WRITE thank yous that go on the site, maybe we'll wait on that mass-email and have them use that system? Or should I send it now and ask them to just shoot over the thank-you as text?

Maybe the form on the site has some simple form on it that saves the stuff to https://www.firebase.com/ ? Or keep it wicked simple and use a Disqus thread ?

[mattgraham]

I say lets launch with a good number of them; if you want to request them that works; im hoping we can get this live early this week. It's getting closer.

But I got everybody else. Should I just send like:

Hi,

Forgive the intrusion here, we're trying to do something nice for a nice fella you know: Dan Denney. Coming up later this week is the last-ever Front End Design Conference. You've spoken at one before. If you have a good memory of that, or some nice memory to share, can you EMAIL IT? (OR SOMETHING?). We're going to make a little thank-you site for Dan (and gang) for doing a good thing over the years.

Chris,

Yeah, that's good. Maybe also stress the urgency of the deadline?

I've added a speakers page; but think we can do much more on it with the illustrations. Maybe we'll open a new issue for it as we launch.
