Hi Cees,

Now we are in the second month of the year and our last year's Christmas present should come along soon. Please fix a date and let's have the poster. Can't be that difficult!
Best, Ashok

I think we should all cheer Cees on!  I'm sure his labor of love will be very well received.  Surely to put many a smile on those who'll gaze upon it. :D

Hello Ashok and Hauser (both of whom are in the poster!)

Last night I received the last photos I was waiting for, from Malaysia. This morning the CD rom with all of the photos (130+) went in the mail to the graphics designer doing the artwork. Next week Thursday nite I am sitting down with him to look at the design and add appropriate texts. After that, I think we need 2 more weeks to get it printed etc. So end of February is a safe bet.

I have a sample demo on my office wall that already looks great. And believe me, nobody is more keen to get this mega-project (think in the many hundreds of emails) done than me!

When done, I'm sure we can post a small image of the poster on the homepage for all to see.

cees;
You haven't mentioned the cost for the poster? and how you intend to market it beyond the group. do you think it would be wise to let John Olson know about it so you get some free advertising ?

Bob - I don't really know the exact cost just yet, but I don't expect it to be too much (as in, the cost of a few gallons of go-go juice). Most important to me is not that it's a few dollars cheaper, but that it's very good quality print, is mailed out rolled rather than folded etc.
As far as marketing, I suppose it will be available for anyone through this website / the homepage for years to come. Outside this group, I suppose the other websites should be notified. Ebay might be a way to let people know about it. And, yes, John Olson is someone who should know about it indeed, that's a good tip. I will also send a few posters to Daimler-Chrysler, who knows, they might want a thousand for showrooms worldwide ...
