(dropping other ASF mailing lists) I love the idea.
I already wanted to order some nice stickers from sticker mule in the past, but I got put off by 50$ shipping to Slovenia. As far as including contributor names on the t-shirts goes - I also like that idea, but I'm wondering how to decide which names to include (and how to make that decision fair). We had many contributors over the years so it's probably impossible to include all 200+ names on the t-shirt (unless we use a really tiny font size :)) On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 11:45 PM, anthony shaw <anthonys...@apache.org> wrote: > Thanks Shane > > Adding the rest of the community to the thread (dev@) and the PMC. > > Everyone we are discussing the 1.0 milestone and doing a thank you for all > the contributors.
