Join Mozilla update: 2/10/12 webmaker, webmakers Following up our successful end-of-year fundraising campaign, January and February have been pretty good so far from a fundraising perspective, despite no aggressive pushes (other than the PS in aSOPA/PIPA email we sent in January). Here’s where we are so far: 2012 online donations to Mozilla: 3,723 2012 online revenue: $78,657.80 Current @Mozilla followers: 4,880 Current email subscribers: 292,263 Lots of email subscribers! Having a GNOME newsletter is something I'd really like to do with the GNOME News site that Christy is working on...

Heya, On 14.02.2012 10:49, Allan Day wrote: I'm also assuming that the t-shirts get transported on their own - how does that currently happen? I was able to bring to T-Shirts to Germany, potentially using them here for CeBIT and LinuxTag. I don't think shipping shirts has happened often. AFAIR were T-Shirts organised locally, i.e. GNOME-FR for FOSDEM or last time directly in Berlin. But I'm not the best one to ask. FTR: CeBIT is not happening due to the lack of people. How often are the projector and router used, for example? The route is handy for CeBIT and the projector for LinuxTag. Both things are likely not essential but worth the space. One probably doesn't need both items all the time, but the box is nicely packed and I imagine it'd be quite some effort to repack the box everytime before it's send off. [..] a second box might not be such a bad thing. Well, it wouldn't be too bad. But we'd need people to handle all that. And handling one box plus potentially other stuff like the T-shirts require a small group of people which take of that. And I don't see us having these many people handling i.e. FOSDEM, CeBIT or LinuxTag. I can't really speak for other events. We also might want to think about how we can organise the second box to keep transport costs low. Could it be passed between volunteers, for example? That's more or less what's happening right now. I took the box and the shirts privately, i.e. with no shipping costs involved. And while I could have taken another box, I doubt that others will be on other occasions. Let's think about this and next FOSDEM. Which Box contents did we use at the booth? Essentially the cash-box, a flatscreen, a tiny PC and peripheral devices such as a non Linux compatible webcam and wireless keyboard/mouse. Also banners and some printed materials. Am I missing anything? I don't know the shipping costs, but Doree might (CCed). So an interesting question is, whether a PC with LCD panel and peripheral devices is more expensive than shipping the box forth and back. Let's assume the LCD Panel costs 75 Euros¹, the PC ~250 Euros² and the periphery 15 Euros³. Make the prints cost 100 Euros and add another 70 Euros for the overhead and we're at 500 Euros. Doree: How is that in relation to the shipping costs?

That assumes the box has a round-trip back to its storage location. But there are times when the box might be forwarded on to a next event from the previous event. That's happened at least a couple of times if I'm not mistaken. So, customizing the box contents per event isn't always realistic.

But unfortunately quite unhandy, i.e. one has to take care to not fold them or to not destroy them with adhesive tape. Maybe instead of tape, include a box of Teacher's Putty. It's reusable and doesn't destroy the material. In fact some event venues ban use of tape, and only allow Putty instead. For last LinuxTag, I produced posters using PosteRazor and pdfposter. These pieces of software give you a PDF with DIN A4 sheets that you print and glue together to get your full sized poster. Quite some work, but dirt cheap (assuming you can print DIN A4 cheaply).
