Fedora case badges for the WHOLE WORLD

[Max Spevack]

Hi all,

In the Fedora Ambassadors NA meeting tonight, we were talking about 
producing more case badges, which look like this:

http://myweb.cableone.net/dthomas/fedora/fcasebadges.jpg

They are beautiful (IMHO) and the picture doesn't do it justice.  What 
looks gray in the picture is really silver, and quite shiny.

Due to the price points around producing these, it would make the most 
sense to produce a HUGE amount of badges (5,000 or more even) and 
shipping them to key folks around the world.
> From a budget point of view, we'd simply share the cost across regions,

when we do the Q4 budget calculations.

An example of the budget calculations in previous quarters:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Architecture_expenses

So, I guess the question is -- do folks in EMEA, LATAM, India, and Asia 
have use for some of these?  Should we go ahead with this plan?

Thanks,
Max

I'm horrible taking pictures too but maybe these look a little closer
to what they really look like ...

Could we get the source of such stickers? I mean a .jpg or so, so that we can print them for ourself's.

(from experience) Printing them by hand is a bad idea. If standard ink is 
used, the badges wear over time, leaving you with a white sticker eventually. 
This is especially true with laptop case badges, where they usually go on the 
palm-rest area of the laptop, where the user's hands constantly rub on it... :
( I've had that happen, even with Cafepress printed stickers. You really have 
to get badges like these special (I assume they are; if not, the quality of 
them is probably a concern)

As one of the folks in LATAM, I have to say that they look beautiful (
I know how hard it is to take picture of shiny objects) and I
certainly will love to be able to share some of them in any Fedora
event.

[kabodah farouk]

Ooh ! they look beautiful ... we will need some of them in any event in Egypt , we are preparing for this now.

I'd say yes.

[alejandro perez]

Yes, I think they will look nice and people will like them. They will be
nice to have them on events.

I am very interested on the volume of the badges to be produced. It 
should be highly demanded by every Fedora user!

Yes, it's good for Fedora users and developers around the world.
I can simple print myself, but the print quality is surely not good as.

Kind regards,

I also want a badge...then only it reflects professionalism ....

Jep, these would be great.

We do systems installation (including OS installations) and it would be
great idea to put one sticker in every computer what we have installed
with Fedora...

Definitly YES. I would tag all our servers and workstations with them
and on events it would look really cool on the netbook / notebook.

For some reason, I can't view the badges but going by what I saw on
Mel's notebook last time she was here, they should be great!

I think it would be great to have these is similar version as pinnable
badges. Stickers are great, but I think pins are more attractive if some
shine catches the eyes.

What do you think guys?

On behalf of EMEA Meeting we would be definitely interested in such swag :)
I guess we will discuss it further on today's meeting.

I think case badges are much more appealing to people over pin-able
badges/buttons.

When people slap a badge on their laptop, wherever they go with it
(campus, work, LAN parties), they'll have it there, so it would work
as advertisement in that sense as well; whereas a pin-able badge has a
much less likely chance of being worn to these places.

All in all, it's not a bad idea, especially for use at events.  I just
think case badges are more appealing to people.

What's the size in mm or inch? A typical sticker is 2mmx3mm (I used
nicu's design), is this bigger or smaller? I still have plenty of them
which I printed years ago, but they start to fade,  some new ones
would be great.

Max,

I would even happily pay for some of those case badges. And as Red Hat 
is a bit iffy,c about people paying for stuff, because of tax reasons 
(or whatever). Why not order more, and at least for EMEA, if people donate
a small amount, they get sent a number of free case badges.

Regards,
Tristan

Hello to all.

In LATAM that help could really help a LOT. I think people who should
receive that help must be:

Nicaragua - Argentina - Colombia

They could send us some to the rest of countries that truly need this and
might be cheaper.

Also, if we, Fedora LATAM folks, could help doing some paypal donation so we
could receive a little more, just tell us what we have to do. I think that
if we al LATAM put a litte effort could get a great amount. (if each of
ambassadors donate 5 us$ or 10us$... wow)

Thanks for this awesome help.

:)

Maria,

we all had those ideas for FEDORA EMEA, legally a club, but then Red Hat 
says, it could appear to US tax authorities, who have no jurisdiction in 
Germany (as the club is based there), that this is an official Red Hat 
entity, so then it was kind of implied we would have to change it's 
name. Then about selling stuff, they don't want to sell goods, I guess 
it is too much hassle for them. And we as the community cant make much 
of a fuss, as they donate thousands! And the Fedora board has to grant 
the privilege to make and sell goods, which for Fedora EMEA, they did 
(apparently). It is all a bit of a pain in the back side. You might find 
some discussions with regards to this all, in the meetings logs of the 
EMEA meetings. All I can say is, this is frustrating for everyone. I 
sent this message just to you, just so you know, what went on before. So 
brace yourself for problems, if you want to pursue this topic further. I 
personally hope you will, maybe somebody at Red Hat will listen.

Good luck and all the best.

Regards,
Tristan

OK, that message was for Maria, obviously. Apologies, any opinions there 
were my own, and no offence should be taken from my email, as this is 
not anyones fault, especially not Max's. It is a "legal" issue.

Just to add some concrete numbers so informed decision making can occur.

The first 1,000 case badges cost $1,000, so $1 each. Most of this is
the setup cost for the run. Every 1,000 case badges there after is
$180, so the price drops to 0.18 per badge. Unfortunately it doesn't
seem to drop any lower from there.

This means we could order 11,000 case badges for $2,800 (25.45 cents
each); 20,000 for $4,420 (22.1 cents each); and 50,000 for $9,820
(19.6 cents each).
While those numbers seem big, globaly if we split that across APAC,
EMEA, LATAM, and NA, it's a lot more affordable.

The quality on these case badges is quite honestly second to none. I
have literally not seen anything that comes close to comparing
anywhere. They are also incredibly popular. In NA we burned through
3000 in a couple of months.

[María Leandro]

Just a question now that I see this numbers, and an example to explain
myself better:

Question:
Have you ever consider make a "marketing store" not only to sell, but also
to do all this marketing things on big amounts with Regions Budget and so
it, get a better price and bigger amount? I know most of every region budget
is for marketing items, so why don't we produce them in a single location,
to: make more, make it cheaper?

Examples:
1.- Software Freedom Day:
They produce everything (t-shirts, stickers, media, plates... everything) in
China and send them with massive shipping to all over the world. First 5
HUGE shipments get to main continents, and from there, local contacts
deliver all material.

2.- Flisol:
We buy everything in a single place of our country and deliver it to all our
cities (get's really cheaper. We save almost 40% and buy more great stuff)

-----

Might this be a good idea? has been tried before without success??

Only ideas, hope to help

Nice day

CORRECTION:

Apparently my numbers are way off. John Rose pulled up the actual
numbers and the cost after the first 500 is 13cents per piece.
The first 500 cost $550.

So to redo my numbers:
11,000 would cost   $1,915
20,000 would cost $3,085
50,000 would cost  $6,985

At least it was less

In APAC, I am going ahead with making 5,000 pieces of these and I would
therefore suggest that the APAC (India and Asia as in quote above) be 
taken out of the numbers Max was proposing.

APAC Ambassadors, please email me directly on how many your respective
geographies would need.

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what is your cost to produce in APAC?
Generally I am all for producing regionally or even locally, but small
quantities seem so prohibitive. Though at 5,000 it might be cheaper to
make locally than shipping around the world.

The quote I got was Singapore 22 cents per piece - about US 15 cents or
so.  We need to keep the quality especially the colour correct etc so
my Red Hat APAC marketing folks here in Singapore are helping to ensure
consistency.

Nice!

I will ask from Harish Pillay for few hundred units.

But if the cost of producing it at 5000 units would be much cheaper than
creating it per region, I would like to suggest why don't we produce it at
one location, and mass ship it to regional Red Hat offices. Then this
offices will redistribute to Ambassadors for that region.

That should cut the cost of shipping significantly, instead of shipping it
to individual Ambassador.

For France, we'd like 1500 of them.

Based on the experience we had when we made our own (which were much
less gorgeous than those), that should do us a little less than a year
(2 full Fedora releases)

Thanks a lot for doing those, they will be greatly appreciated. :)
