OK... I will ask: What about 2012 6GC.NET calendar? Options

[malpaso]

I'm in this community for ages and as I remember there always been 6GC.NET calendar. I do not want to talk about what happened last year. I would like to talk about what will happen this year.

I really would like to see next year on my wall 6GC.NET calendar. Question is what needs to be done to make this happen.

- I know there is needed approval from the owner (to use 6GC.NET logo)
- I know there is needed to find the best 12pictures around (or 14... 12months, cover and bonus month for 2013.. whatever)
- I know there is needed someone who manage this
- I know there is needed deadline. Soon enough deadline to have calendar in December 2011 delivered.

and I also know it is not any hard to manage this. Last year I made one for Celica Czech Republic Club. We made deadline for pictures in October and a month ago I was sending finished calendars... see the topic http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76445 that's it. Nothing more needed.

My point is. If I'm able to manage 20 calendars for $17 internationally delivered each from CZ... anyone in US can do the same for similar price. So... how hard could it be to see 6GC.NET calendar 2012 on the wall?

I do the GT4OC calendar every year for free....make it downloadable via pdfs and free to every member, I use simple program like paintshop combined with MS Excel and it seems to work OK...I'm no graphic designer either but I enjoy doing it.

Just start a thread for 2012 calendar entries, hope that enough people submit photos then put them together...with a large and active community such as this it shouldnt take long to gather enough pictures...you'll need about 150 photos to put together a calendar similar to the style I do...you wont use them all but it gives you a choice

the only problem with this site is that you cant add attachments..(if you can I havnt figured out how to yet) to allow people to uploead them to their machines to print them off.

Agree to the letter . You make whole calendar your self and you do great job btw! You just forgot to say there is also an option buy "hard-copy" of the calendar as well. That is why GT4OC.NET calendar is hanging on my wall this year and I hope will hand as well another...
I do not want to do it complete. Just use company that makes calendars and send 13 prepared pictures there (to match design the best) and done. A lot less work than you do every year mate.
