I think you'll have to bug the PdCon MTL and pdgraz people to get those
numbers. You can count on me to order at least two. And make sure you
have enough womens' sizes too (i.e. small, xs, etc.) At PdCon MTL they
ran out of the women's sizes first.

all in all about how many tshirts are we talking? my first guess would
have been 150 tshirts... but i really cant tell. one should consider
that there might be extra tshirts for the us. are there any figures
from previous editions?
up to now i saw the orange tshirt with black printing on it. i like
that. how about including some alternatives for the new shirts?
greetings, especially to the people in brazil, have a nice time,

Hey there from Brasil! Yeah, t-shirts would be great, there are
many people who want them. They didn't make enough for the
conference, so there are probably people here who would also be
interested.

hi there,
is anybody still into the tshirt thing? i think i could help with
the printing. i'm not good at thinking of designs though. bang-until
was quite common-sense - afaik there hasnt been lot response on that!?
i wanted to bring up the topic again - basically because i want a
pd-tshirt too :)
cheers

I like the DIY way. It would be great if people organized their
own fundraisers and bounties. I think that fits in well with the
anarchic nature of Pd.
There are things like cafepress.com for t-shirts and the like. It
is more expensive than doing it yourself, probably, but its
easier. It would be nice to see more than one Pd t-shirt
available. I'd like bang-until and that cake, for example.

Thanks Kyle,
That's much more in line with what I'm looking to do. I also cannot
afford to go to PdCon given that it's all the way in Brazil, and I'm
sure the majority of Pd users are in the same boat. A documentation
bounty seems like a good way to encourage people to document, and
give
them a way of justifying their time. And, I agree, probably more
worthwhile than paying half of one person's ticket to Sao Paulo.
In regards to designs, and printing:
I'm thinking it might be cheapest (allowing more money to be raised)
for me to print the shirts myself.. I just need to come up with a
solid price estimate in the next couple days. Also, this seems more
in line with the do-it-yourself attitude of Pd than, say, e-mailing a
.Gif file to an internet service and letting it all go through them.
I have couple designs I've drawn up myself, and a few have been
submitted to me via this list. So, hopefully by the end of the
weekend, I will upload them to my site and post a link on the list
for
feedback.

Yes, I agree that the fund should be for a documentation bounty.
I think that Ben (or whoever makes the shirts) should hold the
money in
trust. Perhaps set up an interest-bearing account to save the
cash in. Then
create a well-documented (pun?) bounty description of what key
features are
to be implemented and the financial payment for each.
You could do micropayments for key help patches or examples, say
$20 US
each, or a big bounty for larger sections such as re-organizing
existing
patches into a tidy intro library for new uses, with ready-mades
to go.
I think this would be a longer lasting value than paying for
Pd-con. I'd
love to go myself, but probably cannot afford it...but I'd rather
see some
solid documentation be built...or have the financial incentive to
do it!
(Not a capitalist, just a hungry belly).

I'm open to the idea of donating proceeds to PdCon. But, having
never
been, I have some clarifying questions/concerns.
I would really prefer that any money from sales went toward
documentation, which in turn will increase useability and make
PD more
accessible to new users. Does the convention encourage/promote
documentation? Is time spent at the convention trying to
increase the
existing body of literature?
If so, then I'm all for it. I just don't want to settle on
PdCon if
it's only useful to attendees. (of course, I understand that in a
good open-source community knowledge gained by any members
contributes
in some way to the knowledge of the group... but I'm talking more
formal documention rather than more answers on the mailing list)
Glad to hear the interest. I'm still looking into the best way
to go
about printing, selling, and distributing.
If someone wants to partner up on this I'd be happy for the help
and
added input.

Hi Ben, all,
We did the last batch of t's as a fundraiser for the Convention in
Montréal. We managed to pay for another 1/2 plane ticket with the
proceeds :-). Maybe the same could be done for São Paulo?
The super folks from Graz sent the file they used for the
original t's I
should still have it if you want.
À bientôt,
Alexandre
Hello List,
I'm considering designing and selling PD related t-shirts. I
haven't
totally worked out the logistics. Basically I was inspired by
the
[Bang( shirts that I've seen online, but which are no longer
available
as far as I can tell.
Anyway, if I did so, I would like to donate all of the
proceeds toward
further PD development, specifically documentation of poorly
documented objects (or example patches, which is basically the
same
thing).
How do you all think would be the best way of going about this?
Should I stockpile the money and then offer it to someone as a
sort of
grant? That's less than ideal in my opinion. I really don't
know how
to go about this.
Any/all input is welcome
-Ben
