Hex-sticker based merchandise: fund-raising for sticker printing? #19

Open hturner opened 6 years ago

hturner commented 6 years ago

Thanks to #3 we now have a Forwards hex sticker, but no budget for printing.

We could create simple hex sticker designs and sell associated merchandise to fund-raise for printing hex stickers to hand out at workshops, conferences etc. This is simple to do e.g. via zazzle or cafepress.

For example, we could use https://github.com/mitchelloharawild/hexwall to create themed hex collections, e.g. tidyverse, Bioconductor, community, etc to put on mugs and the like.

I can get the cost covered if you need a few hundred stickers. (But the swag idea seems great independent of the need to raise money to print stickers)

For info the hex logo no longer has cut-off corners. 🎊

I guess we will aim to get some printed for the next Forwards workshops cc @emdodwell @jtr13 @jasdumas.

@maelle we plan to get some stickers printed in time for the girls workshop in NYC in October. However Hadley noticed the hex sticker looks a bit pixellated when you download it. Can you see if you can produce a higher-res version?
