[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Cost of producing Fedora stuff

[Pawel Sadowski]

Hi,

I want to ask one question. I am planning to prepare something about 200
T-shirts and the same amount of Fedora DVDs for the future events
(LinuxWorld was postponed and as I know will be propably on autumn).
More-less in the same time, there will be few events in Poland - Fedora
Open Days, LinuxWorld as I mentioned and a Red Hat conference - maybe it
will be possible to place Fedora booth there, so I will need swag. I can
order it from the US, but I think it would be cheaper if I produced it
locally (one Fedora T-shirt at Red Hat Cool Stuff Store is $15, while
cost of one T-shirt in Poland would be about $6). As I mentioned in my
previous e-mail - it is too large amount for me to pay for 200 T-shirt
by myself. What can I do in this situation? If it comes about the
shipping cost from the US, I could do something what nman-64 suggested
(shipping it to someone in the US, who could forward it to me - I hae
already tried with Red Hat Cool Stuff, but resigned temporaily, I will
do it in future), but these costs of one T-shirt... I think best idea
will be to produce it locally, but I have to know how is the design on
T-shirts printed, I mean in what technology. Is it embroidered or just
printed? I would like the T-shirts as beautiful as you have them in your
store :) I will buy some stuff from the Red Hat Cool Stuff store either
way (I want few things fromt there ;)), so I could also order Fedora T-
shirts, DVDs and maybe cups, but if it would be cheaper locally then I
don't know what to do :> Give me some advice, please. I will be very
grateful :)

Best regards,
Pawel Sadowski
