Hi John,

As anyone reading this list will know ;-) Juergen is working on having
some T-Shirts for FOSDEM. He has now requested about 1500 Euro 'up front'
funding from the Marketing Project budget for 200 T-Shirts.
If anyone has anyone objections, please start a discussion on this
list asap.
Not really objections, just some questions:
Do you / does he mean that the funding will be some kind of loan that
will be given back when the t-shirts have been sold?
Or will the t-shirts be given away without any revenue?
we give the shirts not really for free, we ask more for donations
(minimum 10 or 15 Euros). That have worked very well in 2009. Ok we had
2009 some shirts and other nice things sponsored by Sun as well and
where we also get donations for but i expect that we will get some money
2010 as well.
The key point is that it is common practice and it is also promotion for
our project.
I don't know exactly how companies measure the success for giving
merchandising products on conferences or trade shows. But i think it's
worth to do it and probably others can share my opinion.
