diaspora* stickers

F Flaburgan Public Seen by 88

We just receive this message on the press email:

>Hello,
>
>I’m Stefano from Unixstickers.com, an online store on Linux and Open Source merchandising, I’m reaching you to propose a collaboration with our store for Diaspora stickers.
>
>We would really love to add Diaspora to our shop, we already partnered with some big projects like OpenSUSE, Xubuntu, and many others are coming, as of our partnership we periodically provide free stickers and pins for conferences or whatever they need basing on our sales, in change of visibility on their websites, socials or blogs, in alternative we can also share the sticker’s revenues with the project.
>
>
>Many customers have already asked for your stickers and it would be awesome to add them to our collection and start a partnership with you and tour team.
>
>Thanks for your time, let me know what you think about.
>
>Best, Stefano.

I think it's a nice idea :)

Sean sent the mail, we are now waiting for an answer from FSSN.

Do you know if the stickers would sell cheaper if we disclaimed the revenue share?

Yay, heard back from unixstickers.com

Answer to question from @manuelbichler

As of forfeiting revenues, we like to keep prices even on our site, as differences could create confusion, but let us know if this is important for you and we can give it a serious thought. Revenue sharing would still be preferred.

I at least don't want to start making any special arrangements. If someone wants to push this direction, we need to vote on it.

As for PayPal:

As of donations: no problems with PayPal, it's even handier for us than wire transfers :)

They will take care of everything and let us know about the designs. Though for the money part, we still need to hear from the FSSN - though it's hard to imagine they would be able to say no.

Unless I've misunderstood what you mean by 'say no', I don't think the FSSN can say no, as they are not in any way in charge of Diaspora*'s money - they just hold it for the project. I don't think that they can have any say in what happens to it.

Bang - we have designs which wait our final acceptance for a go live next week already! :)

I've uploaded them here: https://cloud.jasonrobinson.me/public.php?service=files&t=9ca41117bbdc668b3973b8baad29ae04

As they conform to our branding specs and approval has already been voted on to use that branding, I would like to give the final approval without a further vote. If no one objects, will do so within 24h. Unixstickers will make these available for order early next week \o/

Btw, whether the project will receive money for them is still not clear, but that is another matter. Unfortunately things are unclear with the FSSN still - they are slow to reply and it's not clear still how the paypal id they have for us works.

Can't wait to order these - look good in the pictures :D

Just to clarify on the money - the problem is not unixstickers.com - the problem is the FSSN.

Ohh, they look wonderful! Is it too late to propose a change though? I'd really like the one with a circle in gray/white instead of black/white, like the default icons for pods. But if it means a big vote and a lot of extra time, then I'm totally fine with these :)
