[Idea, not related to the code] Stickers #380

Closed white-gecko closed 4 years ago

white-gecko commented 4 years ago

I would like to have a sticker which I can put on the robot to show that it runs valetudo. I think this is important to give credit to the community, to educate visitors who see the robot, and because I also put stickers on my laptops, why not on my floor-top-computer as well. Regarding the educational aspect: as a person who "does semething with computers" people see the devices which I buy and the software which I'm using and sometimes also ask me what do buy. So I see my self in the position to help out with media competency and data competency.

If they see the robot as is they might think it is a cool thing to buy a robotic vacuum cleaner, while they don't see the implications to there privacy, which data is collected, and where the data is going, in short under which circumstances it is a cool idea.

I don't know if some of you think about the same issues. Maybe somebody has already created a cool sticker. Maybe we can also include this privacy aspect into the sticker.

But we have to make sure it does not become sexist or abusive

Hi so first of all sorry for shutting this down back then.

I was very overwhelmed with the whole FOSS business and rather annoyed by people ignoring the "Please only open issues for actual Bugs" rule. Fortunately, since then not only have I gotten better at handling this I think but also there are Github Discussions now which allow for proper separation of Bugs and non-bugs without there being an ever increasing issue counter.

Anyway, good idea back then. Sorry again for not appreciating that.

BTT: The current sticker situation is a follows

There are two designs that can be found here: https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo/tree/master/assets/misc

The Valetudog and the "Works with Valetudo" sticker.

There was an attempt to make them available for purchase using Redbubble, however the pricing and quality both were very much subpar. I've also looked into setting up a shop and selling them myself, however that's also a lot of pain in germany so I opted to not do so.

This unfortunately means that there currently is no way of getting those apart from meeting either Dennis or Me at some conference.

Unless you're located in the US that is in which case there seems to be someone selling prints of them: https://cloudfree.shop/product/works-with-valetudo-sticker/

As the design is available as an SVG, you can also of course print a run of them on your own if you like
