XMPP Summit - 2019-01-10

I'm sure people in here have opinions on Swag. What kind of XMPP branded swag would you people like to pay for to own?

E.g. I believe Kev mentions something before, about it needing to be something he could also wear in work meetings, but I don't remember the specifics.

stickers are usually a good go to

I think we already have stickers, but sure, agreed.

I was thinking more about clothing.

I don't think *needs* to be, but stuff that's slightly more workish than the usual t-shirts sound appealing.

Maybe I'm the only person who'd wear an XMPP (or XMPP Summit) Polo Shirt.

I've the hoody

Polo shirts are popular for being work acceptable while casual enough to wear elsewhere. I think all of redhat's stuff is polo

But I like an espresso cup with the full text of 0060 printed on it

I like zip up hoodys

I'll buy a tshirt or hoody and some stickers at the summit :)

T-Shirts are probably more likely to sell at FOSDEM. I wonder if there's any chance of doing what I've suggested before - a set number of summit items (preordered) just for participants in the summit, and then stuff for FOSDEM.

Do T-Shirt for FOSDEM, and Polo for the Summit, or such.

I can confirm that we have (many) stickers of one kind: the die-cut logo.

oh, and we have a bunch of the 'hello my jid is' stickers too

if we do a summit thing, will that be sold, or presented as a gift?

Guus: 👍

I have a slight preference to sell clothing that's somewhat more durable than a shirt at FOSDEM

Guus: for now I'm assuming we sell stuff

but I'm easily persuaded otherwise.

And if we go for a t-shirt, I'd like it to indeed be a better material than all previous ones.

I don't think we should aim to sell shirts at the summit, which has at best 30 potential buyers.

not worth the hassle, I think.

I actually quite enjoy the hoodie that I have

maybe we should offer more than one item?

and put whatever is left in storage

What we did before is have both T-shirts and Hoodies

I'd not mind having something that zips, with a subtle logo - unsure if that'd be a big seller though

For t-shirts, I'd like e.g. 50/50 or triblend material. They stay better for longer times and are more comfortable.

Guus: I'm not suggesting the Summit sales for profit or anything, I just think it would be very cool for the Summit attendees to have something Physical out of it.

Not a hill for me to die on, but I'd think it cool.

But yes, someone has to put the effort in, and that's a hard sell.

Kev sure - I'd either donate that, or pre-sell.

(to order the exact right amount, etc)

(did Kev just put himself in the background? )

ralphm I have no clue what material choice would make for a desirable product - I trust you fully in this 🙂

Totally pre-sell. For Summit I'd setup a google forms doc requesting size and order based on that.

hi

right, let's make things concrete then.

Shall we have a summit shirt or hoodie, or nothing?

Agree on that for Summit

Super cool to have something for Summit in my opinion :)

I'd actually like the somewhat subtle XMPP logo on a jacket of sorts, or hoodie-with-zipper

Are there any Serious Bussines Shirts?

Something something XMPP is serious bussiness, just look at my suit and tie something

Guus: like a hoodless jacket? I can see that

Yeah, something like https://www.amazon.com/sandbank-Lightweight-Softshell-Flight-Bomber/dp/B076C5YMQJ/ref=lp_2528780011_1_6?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1547136164&sr=1-6&nodeID=2528780011&psd=1 perhaps

or something comparable

shoot, I'm 5 minutes late

gotta run

for FOSDEM, I'd opt to sell both hoodies and shirts again, but I fail to find the time to arrange for them, I'm afraid.

I made the mistake of not working on this since last February

I'm out / on mobile

tttyl

it's on everyone in SCAM, Seve, not just one person

Yeah, I've been looking around at drukwerkdeal.nl for this.

did XFS not register for a stand? https://fosdem.org/2019/stands/

jjrh, "The Realtime lounge" points to xmpp.org

But that'd be great to have it more specific :/

ahh I did a search and was like "oh did someone screw up?"

Realtime Lounge is kinda weird since just about everything else is under it's project/org name.
