They will be cheaper than the t-shirts ordered from the canonical (ubuntu) shop, and we’ll be able to choose the print ourselves. Everyone I’ve told about this, on the IRC-meeting and in the mailing list, was very positive about the idea. We also agreed that the t-shirts should be both eco-friendly and fair-trade. JanC and I have done some research about that, and we found out that Earth Positive t-shirts are probably the best choice. Those t-shirts are a little more expensive compared to other branches like Fruit of the Loom, but we will still be able to sell them for €10 / t-shirt (we sell the t-shirts from the ubuntu store for about €13 - €20). There are a couple more things to be done before the t-shirts can be ordered. First of all we need a good design to print on the t-shirts, that’s why we need your help. You can send your ideas and your designs to the mailinglist, later we'll open a wiki page to show al the designs, and to choose one. Here are some important things to keep in mind when designing: <ul> <li>You can choose the background color from this list: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.cotton-shirts.eu/typo3temp/pics/EP02_complete_1_f0ee92a4ef.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.cotton-shirts.eu/typo3temp/pics/EP02_complete_1_f0ee92a4ef.jpg</a> , for men’s t-shirts there are some more choices: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.cotton-shirts.eu/typo3temp/pics/EP01_complete_622f2a8927.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.cotton-shirts.eu/typo3temp/pics/EP01_complete_622f2a8927.jpg</a> , but it’s best to have to same color for all the t-shirts.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The less colors you use, the lower the price (max 5 different colors), the better. If you want to use light colors on a dark background, you should count one more color.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If you know how to use inkscape, or another vector graphics editor, please use it! If you don’t know how to use it I, or someone else, can convert it to a vectorial image if your design is the best. If you’ve got a lot of creativity, but don’t know how to work with any image-editing software you can always share your ideas, and maybe someone else can do something with it.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>You can use the ubuntu-be logo in the design, but if we also want to sell the t-shirts at fosdem to foreign visitors, maybe it’s better not to do so. This way we can also ask neighbour countries if they are interested to participate. The more t-shirts we buy, the cheaper the price / t-shirt.</li> </ul> It’s not 100% sure yet the t-shirts will be printed, but a good design will help to make it easier to decide. The biggest question we’ve got is where to get the money to buy the t-shirts. It will cost us about €600 to buy 100, and that’s a lot of money. We are quite sure t-shirts at a good price with a good design will sell, definitely if we promote them a bit, but we have to pay them first. If you’ve got some ideas let us know!
