Fedora Ambassador Poloshirts

[Joerg Simon]

Hi, 

for Fosdem Attendees a new (mini?)charge of Ambassador Poloshirts is asked.
If you are a Ambassador and come to the Fosdem08 Brussels you can order. Maybe 
one Ambassador of your Country attend here, then you should also order and 
instruct him to bring and ship it if he/she is back.
We have to pay around 30€ per shirt to the manufacturer - you reimburse me on 
Fosdem in exchange for your PoloShirt(s) 
Add you to the List http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt.
Sorry for the short timeframe.

The next opportunity to order Poloshirts is for Linuxtag08 Berlin - I will 
inform you in time :-)

Cheers Joerg

Hi Joerg --

Very nice indeed! What a great venture, Jeorg! I wonder if we could 
consider ordering these between events, for those of us who attend 
smaller events.

Joerg, do we have multiple verified suppliers for these in different 
countries? I am especially interested in North America. I would like to 
order a couple for attending regional linux events where I am, but I 
can't forsee attending any of the larger European events, or even FUDCon 
Boston adjacent to the Red Hat Summit this summer.

North and South American ambassadors, if you would be interested in 
ordering, perhaps we could discuss this at the next IRC meeting 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings/2008-02-04). I am 
willing to help coordinate this, if we need someone to take the lead.

Thanks and very best,

- pascal

Hi Pascal,

Joerg created that Shirt approx. one year ago and we (who attend FOSDEM,
Linuxtag and a bunch of other smaller event) decided that this
Polo-Shirt *could* be a uniform-al Polo-Shirt for every Ambassador in
the whole world.
BUT, be careful, because it costs approx EUR 25 to produce ONE Shirt and
if you're using a currency calculator there you can see, that it is for
some areas in this world a lot of money (also in Europe) and ...
the second point with the producing is, a private person (in that case
Joerg or last time myself) have to pay in front for the order when we
get the Shirts.

The Shirt is produzed here in Germany at a special vendor who only sells
and produces in Germany.
So we have no problem to produce a bunch of this shirts, never mind; but
we have to clear out, that we only order if we have the money to pay
for; nor earlier. 

We like to offer the following:
We create a time on which you have latest place your order (let`s say
end of march this year) then we ask for a quote at the vendor; clear out
the shipping costs from Germany to every place you guys want to have it
and then we tell you the date until the money has to arrive ...
If the money did not arrive at this time, we can't order for you because
we can't pay with our private money and btw. this are AMBASSADOR Shirts;
not for public :-)

Hope this will help you

Regards

Gerold

Hi *

I reckon it's cheaper to produce them locally (e.g. in the USA for 
Pascal & the other US ambassadors - probably even more locally, i.e. 
east coats or north eastern USA).

After all, it's just a simple blue (i.e. Pantone ® 2935) polo-shirt with 
the symbol, the logo amd Ambassador lettering stitched on - nothing that 
only that producer in Germany can do.

And right now, the Euro is very expensive ;)

I would also be interested if we can get it in USD. If nothing else, I
guess that I could pay in EUR but my guess is that would be about
twice as expensive as it needs to be if we could produce locally in
the US.

Yes, I agree - this is a case where local production would reduce
costs by a fair amount just by the amount saved on international
shipping.

Several of us here have seen the polo shirts Jörg had made and think
they look great.  I know the ambassadors in our area will get some
made before our next big event.

As for others looking to get some polo shirts made, there is the
Ambassador Vendor page in the wiki [1] that lists a US vendor that can
do embroidery along with T-shirts.  If others use someone else and
have good success, please add that vendor to the Ambassador Vendor
page so other ambassadors make use of the info.

Awesome, thanks Jeffrey!

What we be ideal would be to also post somewhere the vectorized graphics 
for both the chest embroidery as well as the sleeve detail, so we could 
give the vendor the precise specifications we need.  Jeorg, is this 
available anywhere, or could you add this to the Polo page?  Thanks all!

The US vendor on the ambassadors page below is for screen-printed 
shirts, but it looks from their website that they can also do 
embroidered shirts as well -- great!  I'll follow up with them tomorrow 
to start the discussion of what start-up costs and individual and volume 
orders would be for these from that company.

Oh.. these would be perfect for when I go to OpenSource Days later this
year, sadly I am not going to FOSDEM or LinuxTag (ye old lack of funds).
If I could arrange with someone to get 2 of these babies in medium
somehow I would be very grateful.

Jeffrey is eager to find and create Polos in NorthAmerica so i added  some 
more information to the wiki 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt, so you should be able to 
create similar Shirts.
The best source is Logo Guideline Page.
The idea sounds simple - but there is so many that a manufacturer can make 
worse :-)
We had switched Colors - then to many stitches for the Logo - the quality of 
the first shirt ...
