jendajuliux: I'll be calling the printer guy now - I'm deciding between 2, 3 or 4 thousand Ubuntu stickers and 500 or 1000 Kubuntu - will you be taking any?02:39
juliuxjenda, i will take 1000 ubuntu02:39
juliuxbut no more kubuntus02:39
jendaOK02:39

jendaMenZa: How much would you be willing to pay for A2 posters? :)03:31
MenZaHmm, I dunno :o03:31
jendaI'm haggling with the printer now ;)03:32
MenZalike, 100 czk?03:32
MenZaor something03:32
MenZa(end-user price)03:32
jendamhm...03:32
jendaAnd how much would _you_ be willing to pay and how many would you like to buy? :)03:32
MenZa100 czk :)03:32
MenZaas I = end-user03:33
jenda1 piece?03:33
MenZaand probably 2-303:33
MenZaprovided my economy could take it ;D03:33
=== MenZa is out-of-work atm.
jendahehe03:33
jenda100 CZK is a good price on my end - I'd probably give it to you for less... but that's without shipping.03:33
jendaThe problem is, I don't have the cash to buy them :-D03:34
jendawell, I might have just enough once my dad pays me a part of his debt... ;)03:34

MenZajenda: D:03:36
MenZaWhat does the printer want you to pay?03:36
jendaWell, not much - about 220 for 200 posters03:36
jendabut the international shipping will at be insane on that.03:37
MenZayeah03:37
MenZabut that's up to your buyers to pay ;)03:37
MenZaor you could have like... one person in the us and one person in asia selling them03:37
MenZaand one in australia03:37
MenZaand send them a ****load of bpoters etach03:37
MenZaposters*03:37
MenZa;)03:37
jendaMy guess: 50 posters - 50 shipping ; 10 posters - 20 shipping... 1-3 posters - 1003:38
jendaThe problem is - I'll have trouble selling 200 posters at those prices.03:39
=== meatballhat pokes jenda with plastic sword
jendameatballhat: interested in posters? :)03:39
MenZahmm03:39
meatballhatalways ... you need takers?03:39
MenZajenda: think it'll be difficult?03:39
jendaThe problem is - France wants 50 posters. If I had just 50 posters made, the price would be 20003:40
jendaSo I need to get at least 100 or 200 so the price goes down so that France can get their 50 for a reasonable price.03:40
meatballhatjenda:  I'll get you some takers ;-)03:40
jendameatballhat: you will? :)03:40
jendathat'd be awesome ;)03:40
=== meatballhat shouts to LoCo Team ... we'll see if all o' them loudmouths will fork over the cash :P
jendahehehe03:43
jendameatballhat: you guys could save on the shipping, since I'm already gonna be sending Vorian 1000 stickers.03:44
jenda(and I assume I could pack that all in one bag)03:44
meatballhatjenda: right on!!!  we should definitely do that!03:44

jendano, actually, I'll be doing these in tubes, not monkeys ;)03:45

juliuxjenda, 50 poster == 50 sounds good for me04:49
jendajuliux: that was the shipping :/04:49
juliuxjenda, ahhh04:50
jendabut only my bad estimate :)04:50
juliuxjenda, i thought this was the total price;)04:50
jendathe shipping is 19 for 50 posters04:50
jendaand the price about 80 + 1904:50
juliuxjenda, are the poster 4/4 colors?04:51
jendathey are the exact same as the previous batch04:52

aoirthoirjenda, you have posters?11:28
jendaaoirthoir: always11:28
aoirthoirjenda, it was advertised in #ubuntu-ohio (the nice ubuntu freenode channel)11:29
aoirthoirso wats the biz g11:29
aoirthoirwhat do they look like? how much do they cost? what are they for? etc 11:29
jendahehe11:30
jendalook like: http://diy.devubuntu.com/repo/spreadubuntu/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Posters/HanZo/poster-layout.jpg11:30
jendaCost... that's a little more complicated. depends on the number and size11:30
jendaI have A3 and A2 size11:30
jendaA3 are approx $1 apiece, A2 approx $2.5011:31
jendaWhat they're for...11:32
aoirthoirI dont know what a3 and a2 are..11:32
jendaI've tried to strike a balance between decoration and marketing purposes - can be used for both.11:32
aoirthoirok gotcha.11:33
jendahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size11:33
atoponcejenda: pong11:33
aoirthoirjenda, are they foss?11:33
jendaatoponce: was wonderin' if your LoCo would be interested in case badges, as I'm placing a new order, and several locos have ordered 1000-piece packs.11:34
jenda(or more, actually)11:34
jendaeach pack like that drops the price for everyone.11:34
atoponceyeah. i think so. lemme see what Zelut thinks. how much?11:34
aoirthoirwow badges too? I want to find out about all this stuff g.11:34
aoirthoir:D11:34
jendaatoponce: the badges are 10 cents apiece, including shipping (at 1000 pieces)11:35
jendaatoponce: for your loco, I might be able to manage a similar price even at 500, although it probably would be a bit higher.11:36
jendaatoponce: and chances are it would stick to my canonical price of $60/500 stickers.11:36
atoponcejenda: yeah. cool. zelut isn't responding, so i'll get back to you on it. maybe you could send us an email?11:38
jendaatoponce: sure, what's zelut's?11:38
aoirthoirok i tried to read that wiki article through11:43
aoirthoirBut pretty much what I gather is that a2 and a3 have something to do with germany?11:43
aoirthoirAnd some 4x2 ratio or something.11:44
jendaheh11:50
jenda"Successive paper sizes in the series A1, A2, A3, etc., are defined by halving the preceding paper size parallel to its shorter side. The most frequently used paper size is A4 (210  297 mm)."11:51
jendaThe A3 is: 297  420 mm11:51
aoirthoirah letter size11:51
aoirthoirbigger sizes would be inconvenient as letter size11:51
jendaThe A2 is: 420 mm  594 mm11:51
jendahuh?11:51
aoirthoirok got to convert11:52
aoirthoirwell anything larger than 210x297 would be kinda big to send letters in the post11:52
jendai have no idea what you're saying. Letter size is a little shorter than the A4, AFAIK11:52
jendaah11:52
jendaye11:52
jendas11:52
aoirthoiryes it is.11:52
aoirthoiri know cause ubuntu kept setting up all my printers as a411:52
aoirthoireven when I would change them to letter size11:52
aoirthoir16.5inches x11:53
aoirthoir23 inches11:54
aoirthoirhey! those are just about poster size!11:54
jenda:D11:54
aoirthoirok so the biggun is 250? and how many do folks have to order and is it foss? and can you put your own information on it?11:54
jendaimagine two sheets of letter size paper for the A3 and four for the A211:54
jendaYou can't edit them - they are cheap because they are done in bulk.11:55
aoirthoirthats pretty big11:55
aoirthoirdo I have to order a lot of them?11:55
jendaYou can order just 1, but you'll be paying much more for the shipping than for the poster.11:55
jendaAnd you won't make me happy :)11:55
jendaImagine if I had to pack every single one of the 200 posters individually.11:55
aoirthoirok so really this is for folks to order in kinda bulk.11:56
aoirthoirthat might take me a while then:)11:56
aoirthoirbut i love the idea11:57
aoirthoirjenda, if you had like a little white block on it..folks could put loco stickers on it and post them places.11:57
jendahmm11:58
jendaYou could just as well print out nice white stickers and paste them on it.11:58
jendaaoirthoir: if you order one A3 poster, it'll cost you $7 - if you order 10, it'll cost $20.12:00
jendaso yes, it's better if bought in bulk.12:00
jendaI've already sent out 550 A3 posters - the A2s are new.12:00
