To make my point clear, I was actually not criticising the quality or level of detail of the embroidery, but obvious mistakes. The embroidery seems very detailed already and (although I am no expert in clothing) the missing blue sphere in the middle seems more like a graphic reproduction mistake rather that something they are not able to do. Maybe it's even correct in the finished product, then just the images on the site would have to be corrected, this does not change the inconsistency with the white background on the black clothing, however. It would alternatively also be possible to change the white spots to black for the logo on the black shirt (the wording is in black on the white shirts, so I assume black embroidery is generally possible), then the logo would be visually correct. >From a quality standpoint, I think it's the better choice to not offer shirts with incorrect logos at all. It will rather harm than benefit the impact of the brand (I don't like to use this word, but it's really what it is), especially in a professional environment.

Question: would you wear some Ubuntu Studio swag at an open > source conference??? Actually, I did not think of his points initially and I must say that I find them very important. The only restraint I have is that it seems hard to act upon these values unless the person claiming this is already solely using only labour law respecting, ecologically friendly clothing, Fairphones and computers made out of scrap metal from the nearest junkyard, exclusively. In a way, most of us in this channel are probably currently guilty of taking advantage of the global market and production system to a certain extent. It's maybe interesting to find out where their base clothing comes from. If they were able to offer fair trade / green clothing (or maybe already do without disclosing it), that could even be an advantage. As far as where their funds go, there probably won't be any more transparency as with any other random print shop / online store, it's a business after all. There are general food chains in some countries supporting military industrial research. I guess not everybody likes to endorse warfare while enjoying a premade pizza in the evening, but that's just the reality. If there is no evidence of the promotion of discrimination or crimes, it's impractical to suspect even the smallest family business to be involved in such behaviour. For all I know, you Ralf, could be an internal developer for "WhiteOS", the KKK exclusive operating system. I have no evidence in favour or against this at hand, whatsoever. ;) Best regards, Thomas -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
