Hey guys,
Okay, so here is my formal proposal.
I'm thinking that we should get 2000 stickers printed. There is supposedly about 5000 people at the conference, but I doubt more than 1000 have ever come by the booth. I thought about over-printing for other events, but I think we'd rather run another contest then. We've got great artists, I think providing more opportunities is better than fewer.
Looking at branders.com it looks like a 3" round sticker are about $0.15 a piece. So that means that I'm asking to spend about $300, hopefully less as the bulk rates start to kick in.
I would like to have the design be a contest following on the heels of the amazingly successful 0.46 about screen contest. The requirements for the contest being that the Inkscape logo must be visible and it must have the text "http://inkscape.org" or "www.inkscape.org" in it somewhere. I've suggested it to Josh, but I haven't formally asked him to run it -- he seemed okay with doing it last I asked.
At the conference I'm thinking that we should "charge" a $0.25 donation for the stickers. Basically putting a roll of stickers and a bowl of quarters on the table. I'll get a couple of rolls of quarters to make change. In theory, we could make some money on the whole thing, but the goal is more to add value to the stickers so they don't just end up everywhere.
I'll of course post exact dollar amounts as they become available. Both for the costs and donations that we take in.
All in favor?
