there are many people who participated just to get a badge for it, not for
the sprint itself. Don't understand me wrong, but I would rather try to
award a shirt to people who translate, let's say ''500-1000 strings''
or
so. Even better if we could award nice shirts to people through all
groups, not just L10n.

We can definitely add some better criteria for awarding T-shirt. Like
we can run
query on Zanata for members contributed 500+ string over the
time. I think this number will be more than people participated in
Translation sprint :)
Translation group never got any specific Fedora goodies to promote
activities they
are doing. IMHO this is good chance to start something for
Translation group.
Considering budget perspective, i think lets start small and may be in
next
attempt (May be F28) we can have better criteria.
If other members also feel to have better criteria like 500+ words
contribution,
we can definitely go for it.
Yeah, that would be better, IMHO. My concern is to have people working
hard on translations and don't reward them with a shirt, just because they
missed the translation sprint.

I want to know why only selected people has been given this 10 years
of
T-shirt. I have been
contributing to Fedora since more than 10 years. My major
contribution
is in package reviewing
which are thousands of package reviews. I want to ask here do you see
package
reviewing/sponsoring is a very least honoured work in Fedora. Why was
I
not qualified for that T-shirt?
There are already a very rare chance for Fedora contributors to
receive
Fedora T-shirts. I am
disappointed that you compared two different things with different
goals.
Also, if I am missing here any previous discussions on this 10 years
of
fedora T-shirts then
please point me there.
I think the goal is not different, it's the same, and rewarding
contributors with a nice shirt is awesome. Let's just do it right and try
to not miss anyone. Taking in consideration just a translation sprint
which is also a thing for badge hunters, is probably not the right
criteria. And yes, L10n folks are doing a lot of work and we should think
about them!
It's off topic, but here is the wiki page for the 10 years shirt, with its
criteria. I know we probably missed some people, which is sad, but it was
really hard for all to put together the list.
