Idea about T-shirts + sticker info
by Máirín Duffy 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Hi, T-shirts are $6-7/piece toget printed (Plus shipping. I'm willing to do local pickup to save $.) For 250 peoplethat is $1500-1750:at least one fully funded Flock attendee, no? Idea: TakeT-shirt orders up front during registration, and use the fund as a way to sponsor an additional contributor. Charge $10/shirt and if only 100 people out of 250 bought a shirt, that's still $1k, close enough to mostly fund a contributor. Folks buying a t-shirt for a reasonable cost also get to feel good about helping another contributor get to Flock. Just an idea, anyway. And now you know what T-shirt pricing / budget would be if we decide to fully cover them. T-shirts are going to need at least 4 weeks turnaround assuming design is ready to go (it is not right now)and we know quantities/ sizes (we couldn't know until reg is finished.) I recommend closing registration for people who want a T-shirt by July 10. I priced out stickersheets for Fedora badges. The best bet I think is a 5"x7" sheet of multiple KISS cut stickers; $0.62/sheet; for a run of 500, $312 + free shipping (see https://ethercalc.com/flock-swag-pricing-2017 ) ~m

Flock Funding FAQs
by Brian Exelbierd 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hi, I've started and FAQ here: https://budget.fedoraproject.org/docs/flock_funding_faq.html It will appear online in about an hour. Jenkins went down which delayed the build and our websites are refreshed by cron, not on demand. I have to step away for a while, so I wanted to get this sent. The FAQ is in the budget site because this is probably going to survive the website and it creates a place for issues/PRs as we work through this. Please open new FAQs here as issues/PRs: https://pagure.io/fedora-budget/ Thanks, bex

Flock Funding Decisions
by Brian Exelbierd 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Flock funding decisions will begin being released this week. Please do not ask, irc, email, telegram, smoke signal, etc. anyone about the status of your decision or about when decisions will be released. Everytime someone interrupts the funding committee (or me when I am processing the requests) it slows the whole system down. We understand that you have various time pressures and would like answers. Please understand that we are working on this as hard as we can and are not ignoring you. As you know, we cannot afford to fund everyone. Additionally, we cannot afford to do 100% funding for everyone we will fund. Therefore, we are going to be releasing funding decisions in rounds. This will allow us to manage our budget better. Your release date is based on many factors, so do not assume that it says anything about you as a person or the value of your contributions to Fedora. It is important that you reply within the time limit specified or you may lose your funding offer. Thank you. regards, bex
