T-Shirts October 2017!

[daiyi]

Because t-shirts have a long turnaround time, especially if we find a local print shop rather than a big internet corp (which would be pretty awesome), we should assign someone to be responsible for T-Shirt ordering, invoicing, and delivery!

T-shirt coordinator: @codebeige

To-do:

• [x] find a sponsor (yay!)
• [x] finalise shirt design
• [x] decide on printer
• [x] finalise quantities of sizes
• [x] send design to printer
• [x] make sure shirts will arrive on time
• [x] send invoice to sponsor

[daiyi]

I recall @codebeige expressed interest in organising the shirts, are you still interested?

[codebeige]

Sure, I can take care of it. 😀

[vsmart]

When is the latest time we would need to order shirts by? Late August?

[codebeige]

cotton.de told me last time, that they usually deliver in 7 to 14 days, sometimes even faster. I am currently on a boat trip and plan to finalize the design and prepare the order in week 35.

[lislis]

@codebeige for when you're back, can you email Jean-Louis and Emil (Zimpler desinger) with what the design looks like and answer their questions? I forwarded you the last email

[codebeige]

In the past we did not integrate any sponsor logos into the design. The T-Shirts had the sponsor names in plain text on the back. Also for the last workshop we decided against having any event specific information on the T-Shirts, so that we can use overage on upcoming workshops.

This both probably does not hold true for the Zimpler sponsoring. Was there any explicit arrangement? Should I talk to Jean Louis about it directly?

[lislis]

True, in the past we didn't have that, but it's different since Zimpler will be the dedicated sponsor this time. There is no arrangement other than their logo goes somewhere on the t-shirt. But maybe even that can be discussed with them? I guess you can talk to Jean Louis (and their designer) directly. Sorry for the hassle!

[codebeige]

No problem, will get in touch with Jean-Louis. Just wanted to clarify and make it explicit.

[codebeige]

The ClojureBridge sponsor page clearly states the fact, that the t-shirt sponsoring includes having the logo printed on the t-shirt. So I am no longer questioning that. 🙊

[codebeige]

I am still working on the new designs that will incorporate the zimpler logo.

For the printer I will keep going with cotton.de. Unfortunately the EarthPositive models that we had decided on earlier are no longer available.

So I have just picked the respective replacement models for now. As I currently plan to use the Zimpler logo color for printing, I would go with "dark grey" for the t-shgirt color.

• fitted-cut
• straight-cut

[codebeige]

After playing around with more colorful options I have now returned to a very discreet design that also feels much more like a continuation of the previous (very well accepted) one.

For that I plan to do the printing in white on dark grey in a single go without any primer or undercoating. This will make it slightly transparent and blend well with the t-shirt color.

I will send the current design to Zimpler for approval and will then request a quote from cotton.de on an order of 100 fitted-cut and 50 straight-cut models.

[codebeige]

[codebeige]

Is the sponsor listing correct like it is? Have we collected information on the t-shirt size quantities? If so, where can I find it?

[codebeige]

✅ Design approved by Zimpler.

[vsmart]

hi @codebeige, thanks for your work! love the design :heart_eyes_cat: :100:

that sponsor list looks good :thinking: I would add Wooga + Microsoft since they're supporting us with providing locations.

Also, we can only host 1/3 of attendees. Not sure how to best estimate what t-shirts to order? I guess it's ok if we have some left-overs?

[codebeige]

Thank you, this is a very good starting point for estimating a counts for t-shirt sizes. I will update the design including the additional sponsors and ask for a quote from cotton.de.

[plexus]

LambdaIsland will again offer one year of free membership to all attendees. I leave it to the organizers to decide if they want to list LI as a sponsor.

[vsmart]

Sure, let's add Lambda Island to the supporter list! Thanks arne! :+1: :100:

[codebeige]

Updated sponsor listing:

[vsmart]

@codebeige like i said in https://github.com/clojurebridge-berlin/organization/issues/163#issuecomment-329467200 please add Microsoft + Wooga too as they're supporting us with locations. Otherwise looks great! Let's get the order out :rocket:

[codebeige]

I will ask for a quote in 60 straight and 100 fitted t-shirts with following sizes:

FITTED CUT

• S: 28
• M: 36
• L: 24
• XL: 12

STRAIGHT CUT

• S: 14

[codebeige]

I actually like the fact, that it looks more and more like tour dates … 🎸

[codebeige]

Talked to the printer today: The EP02 is currently not available in dark grey, so we will switch to the EP04 instead. Also the quote was a bit over budget, so I will reduce the amounts and probably pick them up myself. Good news is, that we will manage to get them produced in time.

[lislis]

Thank you @codebeige !

[codebeige]

I have now received the final quote from the printer.

I will check with Jean-Louis for payment and invoicing. Where should they be delivered to? Maybe Wunderlist or Wooga?

[lislis]

Shipping them to Wooga would be amazing! @nblumoe do you know (or can you figure out) if we can do that? @codebeige nice staying in the budget ;)

[nblumoe]

I will find out.

[nblumoe]

@codebeige you can have them sent to Wooga directly:

Wooga GmbH z. Hd. Swantje Hornemann Saarbrücker Straße 38 10405 Berlin Germany

Swantje asked me when they should expect them to arrive.

[codebeige]

@nblumoe Thank you. I will let you know, when I have more details on the delivery.

[codebeige]

The t-shirt color is actually darker and cooler as anticipated. So I ended up choosing a warm grey (Pantone 400C) for the print.
