NodeBots AU swag

[ajfisher]

Okay - does anyone know of a place where we might be able to get some "nice" stickers created that are the AU versions of the nb logo? Some of you might have seen some of the new nb stickers I had at CampJS which came from @rockbot - they are pretty good so would be good to be able to hand out at our days.

Likewise, if anyone knows a place we can get t-shirts made (or indicative prices for what might be involved with that) then again, would be good to explore as an option.

I've bought stickers from http://www.redbubble.com/ before. I believe you can upload your design and sell them on there. They aren't as good as the nodebots ones but they are still pretty good.

stickermule quality is pretty good

Also can I suggest that we get our stickers printed a bit smaller, it was a challenge finding space on laptops for the ones at CampJS hence why my ukulele is now rocking a NodeBots sticker :)

[rockbot]

We bought those stickers via stickermule; is recommend getting 2.5" x 2.5", if you want the optimal size for laptops, etc. (currently in existence are 2" and 3" square, and they're too small and too big, respectively).

I leave the conversion to sensible units as an exercise to the reader.

There is the 2 inch hexagon standard that Tim used for the camp JS stickers. http://dybskiy.com/laptop-sticker-standard/

Bocoup is organising t-shirts for the other international locations. We should try to guestimate how many attendees we will have and size spread based on previous events if we want to be in on this order. See this thread for details: https://github.com/nodebots/nodebotsday/issues/67

What's everyone's thoughts on t-shirts etc and how we'd fund them?

We're trying to plan for 50 people at NBD Melb this time around. Thoughts on Bris / Syd numbers?

[ajfisher]

I'm about to submit an order with StickerMule for 300 stickers at 2.5" squares (my design skills aren't good enough to make hexagons and it all look good).

Was planning on using the NB AU logo (standard NB logo with green southern cross). Everyone okay with that and is 100 stickers to each location enough?

[garrows]

Love the shirt idea. I'll take one :) I think we should sell them at the events for a $10 profit as a fund raiser.

Is anyone putting up posters this time? @AnnaGerber, I think you did up a cool one last time? Could I please get a copy of it?

[AnnaGerber]

That was @nog3 I have the Illustrator file but it needs a special font - I'll ask him to update it

[nog3]

Hey guys,

Here's the AI file, if you want to modify it you'll need the Monda font. - https://db.tt/C1XbUGc9

I've also done up a PDF for Brisbane at https://db.tt/RjJnNzuw.

@ajfisher and @DamonOehlman I can do you guys up one for Melb/Syd too, I just need a location/time and your ticketing URL.

[garrows]

@nog3 you can get the times and location info from http://nodebotsau.github.io/

[harrietgrace]

Fantastic, thanks. I'll put some up around the place :)

[nog3]

Oh, der. Sorry, should've checked the site. Far too many emails backlogged :)

I'll have Sydney and Melbourne posters up tonight.

Can you put in the order if you haven't already Anna? I dont want to accidentally put in a 2nd order.

I've just done Melbourne - didn't get much feedback in terms of things like costs etc so have no idea how this will go. Will see what happens.

Ok. I'll just put in for tshirts for organisers plus a couple extra for prizes.

[ajfisher]

I think I put in for Melbourne for about 10 and just said whatever sizes. I thought that we can always do them as prizes, give outs to the helpers or something similar.

Ah actually I changed my mind at the last minute and put in for 50, cause who doesn't want a Johnny-Five shirt? :)

[ajfisher]

Brilliant!

Our swag didn't end up arriving for Brisbane but we'll save it for the next meetup.

Speaking of cool stickers, check out Tabtag: http://www.tabtag.com I imagine there'd be plenty of Mac users interested in these.
