Additional Context

The organizers of OTel Unplugged have asked our help to promote the event through the official OTel social media channels during KubeCon next week (Date requested - Wednesday, November 12th, 2025).

I've told them that I will check in with the leaders of both the Comms and End User SIGs.

@svrnm , @tiffany76 , @avillela , @danielgblanco , and @reese-lee , could you confirm

• whether you are on board to promote OTel Unplugged through the official OTel social media channels (LinkedIn, Mastodon, Bluesky)?
• if so, would you review this draft and let me know if you'd like to see anything changed?

Once I can get both SIG's input, I could take care of the rest.

Thank you so much!

Urgency Level

High - Time-sensitive (within 1-2 weeks)

Hi everyone,

I would be happy to create the artwork/social media visual for this OTel Unplugged promotion if you find it interesting.

Given the high urgency (Nov 12th!), I can produce and share an art proposal here by tomorrow (Nov 10th). Let me know if that works!

This is great! I would suggest we release it immediately, then update it when the art is ready. Kubecon is this week so getting it out in important.

Agreed with Ted that we should release this ASAP

[svrnm]

Thanks for offering your help with artwork @leandrocaracciolo !

This will not be our only/last message around Unplugged, so if you can get something done before us publishing awesome, if not also awesome as we use it for the next time.

[svrnm]

btw, I have scheduled some posts for Unplugged already, happy to overwrite them with the messaging here.

LGTM!

Hi @svrnm, @reese-lee, and Comms team,

Here are my proposals for the assets. Please see if it make sense.

I've incorporated some Brussels elements into the illustrations to provide local context.

[reese-lee]

Oh wow I missed the link to the draft. Anyway. I shared a comment in the draft re: naming sponsors in the promo materials. Let me know what you think @LisaHJung!

@leandrocaracciolo I think the graphics look great! Only thing I can think of is that in EU, the date goes before the month, so I suggest switching it to "2 February".

[avillela]

@leandrocaracciolo these graphics look AMAZING!

Hi everyone, I'm glad you like it.

@reese-lee do you mean like this?
