New TShirt run
by Karanbir Singh 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi Guys, I've attached an image with this email that shows the original Classic logo on the right side and an embroidered logo on the left side - the image isn't the clearest in the world, but the embroidered logo in real life does look quite nice and stands out nicely. I noticed the colours were slightly off - the blue almost looks like black and the green needs to be a bit darker : the printers are going to sort that out. We have enough money to get about 150 of these embroidered ones made. So I was thinking we could pick a single shirt colour and have Medium / Large and XL made up like : Medium : 30 Large : 60 XL : 60 The reason I'm looking at this is : cost of getting 5 colours in screen isnt cheap ( and the results are not very nice either ). And to get the vinyl transfer as we have on the last set of Classic T Shirts needs us to order 500+ shirts, which is going to cost a lot more than money in the pot and what I'm able to contribute as a top-up. Thoughts ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

TShirt funds

hi guys, So were almost cleaned out of TShirts at promo.centos.org - total collection is £2095 at the moment, I've still got just over 50 packages left to send out - but so far, after paying postage and packing costs it looks as if we are going to be left with just over £1200 in funds. [1] This number includes the money that people contributed as donation when checking out their requests. I've also had interest from memset.com to sponsor a TShirt run ( which works out to be just under £1000 for 200 TShirts ). So I'm thinking we could get memset to sponsor the next lot, and use the left over money for setting up other alternative promo avenues. I have a few ideas, but it would be nice to get some more feedback first. And thanks Khusro for helping setup the promo web site. - KB [1]: I'll have a more detailed and exact costing in the next day or so -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Recycling promo funds
by Karanbir Singh 05 Mar '12

hi, so it cost us £1008 ( £840 + vat ) to get the last lot of 200 Tshirts printed; there was no delivery since the guys who did the work turned out to be close enough for me to drive over and collect. We have nearly enough money for another run, should we go ahead and do that with the same designs and colours / sizes ? Robert Pinna has offered to come up with an alternative design as well, so maybe we can wait on that for a bit. Also, it would be nice to get some feedback from the people who got these Tshirts about the quality of fabric etc and what they thought of the over process / result so we can maybe get better. One thing though is that it took a fair bit of time packaging, printing labels and posting the stuff out. I don't mind doing it again, but will enforce a 10 packages / day limit. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Stickers Update
by Karanbir Singh 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

hi guys, Marian at 1H hosting has offered to sponsor some stickers - the first lot came in yesterday ( 400 logo stickers ), and I'm expecting another 1000 'powered by CentOS' and 400 more 'Logo + CentOS' ones by the weekend or early next week. So, whats the best thing that we can do ? One option is making 'packets' of 2 logo stickers, 2 logo + CetOS ones, 10 powered by ones and put those on the promo site against cost of shipping. OR we can just put them up individually ? or a mix ? What would most people prefer to get ? Logo stickers are 3cm by 3cm cut to the shape of the logo, powered by stickers are 1cm by 3cm logo + CentOS ones are 2cm by 5cm - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
