To be clear, I'm quite friendly to the idea of official PSR-8 shirts. :-) But this is expanding our revenue streams to another venue we've never considered before. That's a very different matter from "oops, our fiscal agent sold out so we need to change the paperwork." It's not a question of timeline, it's a separation of concerns question. Like, there's a discussion of whether we want to instruct the Secretaries to do so, or if they need CC approval to pick a vendor, if there's kinds of swag we especially want/don't want, and so on. That question should be totally distinct from the s/Tidelift/OpenCollective/ question, which should be largely perfunctory. --Larry Garfield -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
