I got the samples, the allmade is def the best for the quality/price/eco-friendly aspect. I think we should move forward with that one. 20:18:25 My question for Mindshare at this point is do we have any thoughts about color combos 20:18:33 I feel confident asking this bc Mo is here :) 20:18:45 also Madeline! 20:19:05 here is the link for the tshirt: http://nadelwilmingtonshop.com/ProductDetails/?productId=553018402&imageId=42554175&tab=Tile&referrerPage=ProductResults&refPgId=526271826&referrerModule=PRDREB 20:19:19 it doesn't show the color options tho :/ just lists them 20:19:36 can they send color swatches? 20:19:56 i have that pantone book too so if they have pantone equiv color codes available i can go off of that instead 20:20:08 oh yea, ok. let me see what I can do 20:20:23 Can we discuss what the optimal situation would be? (for example white logo on blue) 20:20:28 Oh thats a cool thing to have Mo! Very helpful as a designer 20:20:49 we only get one color option right? 20:21:04 or one color combo i mean 20:21:07 I priced out a two color option, but 1 color is cheaper :) 20:21:25 i know in the past fedorans have complained about white tshirts bc they stain more easily and they have a lot of whtie, and they prefer dark but its been a while since ive gotten that feedback (in terms of shirt color) 20:21:30 we can actually do one color now woohoo 20:21:38 I feel exactly the same, MΓ‘irΓ­n Duffy 20:21:41 no white tees for me 20:21:52 but non white usually means 2 color since you need the white base for color to show up on dark shirts 20:22:02 unless we did like a heather grey 20:22:17 i dont think ive had a vendor willing to do one color on darker than heather grey 20:22:20 That makes sense Mizmo 20:23:26 well, we can do 2 color if that is what is needed. 20:23:41 so i think the optimal situation is either white on blue, if the blue shirt color is reasonable, or blue on black or dark grey. 20:23:55 the problem is the vendors blue shirt colors are all over the place. i usually go black / dark grey just because its more of a sure thing / less risky than blue 20:24:09 but if we can take the time to get swatches and do this properly blue would be better if we have some assurance its in the ballpark 20:24:14 for the black/dark grey would we want to go all blue for the logo or add in the white 'F' 20:24:23 white in the f is better for sure 20:24:29 but that wouldnt cost extra 20:24:35 because they do a white under layer anyway 20:24:42 so it should not be an extra color charge 20:24:45 mmm 20:25:07 interesting. Ok! I will take these notes, hopefully we can get swatches quickly 20:25:12 or the pantone colors. 20:25:14 altho i guess it might be since theyd need an extra screen. not sure. depends on how they price it and their equipment i guess lol. 20:25:23 some charge based on # colors some charge based on # screens 20:25:58 ok, second question for the tshirt. We want the horizontal logo across the front, correct? 20:26:32 or are we looking at stacked? 20:26:34 yeh i think so. horiz logo across front. maybe something on sleeve for smtg extra 20:26:43 we want to promote the horiz logo as teh primary one 20:26:50 cool, that is what I thought as well 20:27:12 oooh something small on sleeve would be extra cool 20:27:33 I will see what the extra will cost :) 20:27:36 ok- anything else for the tshirt? 20:28:09 Not from me (I learn a lot) 20:29:25 ok, onto Ambassador Polos - good news here is we can get a full sample of these 20:30:02 we need to settle on a design for the polos. I found out the option we have available to us now can embroider on the chest area and one sleeve only 20:30:31 I found this version of the polo: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Polo_Shirt?rd=Ambassadors/PoloShirt#Fedora_Ambassadors_Polo_Shirt 20:30:52 Ben had a shirt which was different (and newer, I think) 20:30:53 https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/301#comment-764336 20:30:54 that logo deffo needs updating 20:31:30 the one from Ben's. I can't see the one in the other shot but that looks like the FUDcon Berlin booth which was 2009 20:31:55 it looks like the group pic, the chest just has the logomark 20:32:09 the later version has the whole ambassadors logo 20:32:24 I prefer it to say ambassadors, I think 20:33:17 any thoughts on this? 20:33:59 Not here 20:34:13 #link https://pagure.io/design/issue/764 20:34:14 i think the idea with ambassador is that the person wearing it is an ambassador 20:34:20 i dont really have a pref tho 20:35:02 I think it saying ambassadors could help strengthen folks identity and connection back to the program 20:35:32 so here we have an updated layout of the ambassadors logo: https://pagure.io/design/issue/raw/files/afc49d632a2263705bea1917a714f3c2e6684a7c68d1b6d907656b4c53f13d82-Ambassadors_dark_blue.png 20:36:29 any thoughts about color/logo/placement combinations for the polos? 20:36:56 i think if we stick with the white on blue shirt that would be good. i have similar concerns about the shirt colors but maybe we can get codes / swatches as well/ 20:37:04 I love it (as ambassador) 20:37:16 traditionally the ambassadors shirt is a blue polo... it sticks out on conference floors... 20:37:27 to me, the older shirts look kind of like the darker fedora blue 20:37:42 ive seen at least 3 incarnations with different color blues 20:37:49 lol, checks out 20:37:55 the EMEA vendor had a very diff blue than the NA and LATAM produced ones 20:38:08 well, these will all ship from the Cool stuff store! 20:38:19 so that is a nice improvement 20:38:39 i think maybe, have the fedora logo in white on the chest, and the ( ) Ambassadors logo on the sleeve? 20:38:58 because they interface with folks at confs and newbies... so having the full fedora wordmark most prominent i think makes sense 20:39:19 and having ambassadors on the sleeve is like a rank / role placement uniforms use 20:39:55 I think that makes sense, Mo 20:40:17 When we discussed this at the tuesday meeting last week, the four foundations logo was brought up.. But i am not sure where we would work that in 20:40:47 i dont know that it'd work too well at that scale in embroidery either 20:40:51 (the 4 foudnations) 20:40:54 right 20:41:17 its a very cool design, it would be nice to use it on the "fun" tshirt design somehow 20:42:00 ok.. anything else for polos today? 20:42:16 I will go back with our preferences and I think they will make a sample for us right away 20:42:48 A late add, but if it were possible to do right, it would be nice to have blue t-shirts and/or blue polos, in the Fedora swatch 20:43:19 I am going to shoot for that :) 20:43:56 ok- next swag thing, this one is quick 20:44:03 πŸ™ŒπŸ» 20:44:07 they got back to me and said we cant do the laser engraved mugs :(((( 20:44:26 I had also gotten some pushback on the mug storage from our fulfillment center. 20:44:27 why not?? 20:44:51 this is what I got "Laser engraving is the recommended on the site, but they are having issues with the deco quality via laser engraved. " 20:45:11 so, I guess it would like bad :/ 20:45:39 riecatnor[m]1: turns out mugs take up a lot of space, and we have some with the old logo on them already that they want us to move 20:45:56 s/like/look/ 20:46:12 ahh ok 20:46:38 so, I was like, what else did we have on the Mindshare list of swag 20:46:40 do we need to figure out smtg to order by a deadline 20:46:45 and I had them quote camera covers 20:46:47 and enamel pins 20:46:54 camera covers and pins are great ideas 20:47:02 the pins would be awesome. when weve done logo pins before they were a super hot item 20:47:03 also, take up less space! 20:47:09 ooh yea 20:47:14 lol swag planned via storage space 20:47:22 dude i want panda pins 20:47:29 lol, I meannnn, cube is real :P 20:47:46 omgosh yes, with the new character design? 20:48:06 Sounds very cool 20:48:19 yah!! 20:48:28 rad, I want one! 20:48:40 ok, anything else for swag today? (thank you everyone for all the input!) 20:50:35 #topic future of fedoracommunity.org 20:50:38 #link https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/replace-fedoracommunity-org-with-a-doc-on-docs-fp-o/34845 20:51:30 if we couldnt keep fedoracommunity.org updated and maintained i question how having a doc on docs.fpo has any better chances of being updated 20:51:47 I clicked through a lot of links.. I didn't find one that was working 20:52:27 I was able to discuss with Mariana & Sumantro, and we think we could make use of this for ambassadors, just in a different way. What i would ask Mindshare is, is there something we feel should be there? its a very official kind of URL 20:52:35 kind of feels like something that should be associated with ambassadors 20:52:57 Right 20:52:58 this seems to fall in line with the website strategy work 20:53:02 fedora germany, italy, france all worked on the emea page, its not all dead links 20:53:09 I want to make sure we are aligned with that before saying "we want to use this url" 20:53:30 the website strategy is gonna be less domain names πŸ™‚ 20:53:51 we are also talking about more contextual "upselling" into onboarding contributors 20:54:31 so rather than having one page thats like "join fedora" we have lower key contextual invitations. like, "hey you're looking at fedora's brand guidelines. perhaps you'd like to join the design team?"or "hey you're looking at the known bugs for the latest release. perhaps you'd be interested in QA/testing?" etc 20:54:51 it is a good domain name just not sure where to point it 20:55:18 i mean maybe 20:55:28 maybe itd be good to point at a page on the website that lists out communication channels fort he community 20:55:38 discourse, fedora.im, lists.fpo, etc 20:55:48 The Revamp teams rough proposal is to use the site for 3 things(all outreach/ambassador related). 20:55:48 1. Links to the most active/maintained chat channels (selective) 20:55:48 2. Links to the important tools/spaces in the Fedora ecosystem 20:55:48 3. A set of simple infographics highlighting different aspects of Fedora that ambassadors can use as a tool while talking to people. 20:55:48 that should feature somewhere on the website 20:56:10 wait im on the revamp team, that is all new to me 20:56:12 where did that come from 20:56:16 this is the fedora community outreach revamp 20:56:26 ohhhh too many revamp teams bwahaha 20:56:29 ambassadors/outreach revamp :P) 20:56:37 * mizmo was referring to websites revamp 20:56:44 oh, I know lololol 20:56:57 i like ideas #1 and #3. #2, not sure about 20:57:07 tbh #3 sounds super compelling 20:57:13 I had a meeting with Mariana and Sumantro today- we discussed the discourse thread. 20:57:18 rn you have to dig up mattdm's latest state of fpo talk slides to get that data 20:57:57 so, the concept behind 2 is what Mariana called a "link tree" 20:58:46 it was the first time I heard of that, but it seemed useful. 20:58:54 like the current apps.fpo πŸ˜’ 20:59:07 s/πŸ˜’/πŸ˜• ?/ 20:59:20 I wonder if fedoracommunity.org could point to the org chart 20:59:22 thats what i was envisioning 20:59:23 this was her example: https://linktr.ee/GitLab 20:59:33 Apps.fpo is cool 20:59:36 https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/orgchart/ 20:59:51 J.W.F. πŸ”•πŸ“΄: one of the info graphics we want to include is the org chart! 20:59:53 im not a real fan of apps.fpo 21:00:01 I like it in concept 21:00:17 i dont like how linktree appears to function either, it opens a new window, its hard to read 21:00:55 The org chart is very internal focused. But right now fedoracommunity.org is very external focused 21:01:03 So i think we need to figure out which way we want it oriented 21:01:06 apps.fpo is cool looking but not practical at all 21:01:07 to an end user the org chart is meaningless 21:01:29 its super important for contributors and a great map for them tho 21:01:30 I think it should be focused towards into attracting contributors 21:01:41 like, here is fedora, the places you can get involved 21:01:50 There was on-going work in the Websites & Apps Revamp to make an interactive org chart based from SVGs, but not sure what the timeline is for that 21:02:00 this feels like the perennial argument around fedora tho.... is the community ppl who use or people who contribute. the universe of ppl who use is much larger 21:02:16 or at least it should be o_O 21:02:31 its a biggie, for sure :) 21:02:35 how does having an interactive org chart help anybody tho 21:02:59 ok, we are fully over on time. I think we should revisit this! 21:03:13 And please feel free to add to the discourse thread :) 21:03:29 thank you for the lively discussion today, hope ya'll have a good rest of your day 21:03:33 #endmeeting
