hi Guys,
anyone fancy taking a shot at designing a Tshirt for us ?
And/Or offer up some slogans that we could use / ideas that we could use for the TShirts ?
The thinking is :: monochrome print on TShirts of different colours ( we were thinking the CentOS Blue, CentOS Green and CentOS Yellow/Gold ) and have a slogan or artwork across the front ( or back )

We had a bit of a community design session on irc earlier in the day today and after many trial runs, we came to this as the final result :

which is still considered offensive or not-that-nice to people with a .ja background/foreground.
You can see the iterations that we went through here: http://www.karan.org/stuff/try1.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try2.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try2-green.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try3.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try4.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try5.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try6.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try7.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try8.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try9.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try9-green.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try10.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try11.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try12.png http://www.karan.org/stuff/try13.png
The basic concept was that while we will still do some slightly more classic and formal'ish TShirts, we can also do some of these more 'fun' variety with a more subtle branding.
Thoughts ? Comments ? Alternative Ideas ?

Just whom, and for what specific purpose, are you aiming at ?
Paul. Lets make Linux, especially Centos, universally known, accepted and used.

Anyone really, a number of these would be given out at the various events we are at, and other people can ask for them to be sent over to them - if they pay for shipping.

Yeah, well... The last time this was a possibility is pretty much fell through.

I had almost 350 requests, but only a handfull of T-Shirts.
this time I'll try and make sure there is a web-form, with some level of stock and people can request via that route. It took me over a day just to match names to sizes last time. Really would prefer to avoid that.

Do you remember the shirts Sarah made? The plain black ones with only a big Logo on the Front. Didi and me always liked the fact that you could wear it anywhere, because It just doesn't look like a Geek/Nerd-Shirt. Problem: only people who alredy know the Logo will identify this as a CentOS shirt.
I guess black is the ideal shirt color (at least for Europe). There are nice shirts in other colors (for example that neon-yellow OpenBSD shirt), but all of these were designed really carefully.
And btw. we do have some shirts left.

I dont have one of those... should get one!

hoping to print in a few colours..

how many are there ?
Ideally, I dont think there is a problem if we have more than one design around.
hi,
I got the printed TShirts in today, there are 197 of them in total. But they are quite bulky to carry all - and I suspect pointless since we are unlikely to hand out so many at one event.
Would 50 be reasonable ? I can manage that many in a large bag ( and yet not too large, so eurostar will let me bring it on board )

We need Size M, I'm out of stock on these :) I don't think we're going to hand out 80 shirts. So feel free to bring any amount you can carry *comfortably*.
btw. I got the "x86_64 Install / Live ComboDVD" done this weekend. Works like charm. I used the existing Install and Live-ISOs, merged them and rebuilt isolinux.cfg/bootx64.conf and the repo metadata. Do we do have to do formal QA on that?

I've put aside Mediums, Large and XL, with a couple of Small as well...we should be ok on sizes and colours.

we would need to - if there are any issues with it, were creating a massive problem install base with no way to identify things.

Given that we need it for tomorrow - lets not use this, and go with a release known build please.

Yes, of course. Maybe I'll bring along one of these if I find the time to create it. One of my DVD writers woed, so I'm burning DVDs with only two drives :( right now.

I have an external usb2 dvd-rw, would that help if I brought it along ?

Depends. If it is reasonably fast (at least 8x) and we run out of disks during FOSDEM it would help.
I do have 20 Install DVDs for x86_64 and another 20 for i386. I'm also going to do 20 Live DVDs for each arch also.
From my memory and our records that should be sufficient for FOSDEM. However, I'll bring the DVD Drives and the Printer - just in case :)
