Nice that many people are switching to Linux! But often they are still stuck with a keyboard with Microsoft logo’s on them. So let’s put a nice Tux sticker over it!
Since stickers get cheaper the more you order at once, I’m bundeling orders.
Please do try to organize with your local group to bundle requests, I’m happy to forward some envelopes, but I’m not looking forward to becoming a sticker postoffice
So who wants stickers, and how many? (in multiple’s of 100 or 250 please) Please do ask around in your network. With the current volume price will be roughly 250 Tux stickers for 20,- or a 100 for 10,- euro including a poststamp. This will get lower when there is more interest.
Would it be an option to do 50 [super] and 50 [compose] key stickers? Or
a hundred of each? My very first setting on any linux (and Windows)
machine is the compose key…
Is the tux on the sticker rasterized or vectorized? Zooming into the design on the design tool shows quite some “pixels” which can end up looking pretty shit in the final project.
Cool initiative, I’m in for €10! Here’s some totally unrequested advice that may (or may not) help:
There have been several sticker crowd-funding projects in the past (e.g. Stitch’s 2024 CYBER sticker group-buy). One thing from these projects that worked really well: a wiki page where people can commit €10 or more. That way, you just make the purchase when you feel like there are enough people for a reasonable price, and can buy as much as possible with the money you have. Then you’d distribute proportionally to people by their contribution amount.
The distribution system was also pretty cool: the delievery would come to one hackerspace, Stitch collated each person’s batch and grouped these per hackerspace, then one person from each participating space came to pick up that space’s batch of stickers. Redistribution happens from there via member boxes and members delivering to their non-member friends.
One thing that imho did not work well (in my humble opinion) is the labelling of everyone’s batch of stickers. It got a bit ad-hoc… A way to avoid that might be to put the intermediate destinations of each batch in order. For example, if Charli orders via Bob, a member of Atomspace, then you could put: Atomspace → Bob (member) → Charli (friend). Then, the Atomspace member who picks up the Atomspace batches knows how to route the order further: namely, to Bob’s member box, for both Bob’s own stickers (labelled Atomspace → Bob (member)) and Charli’s stickers (labelled Atomspace → Bob (member) → Charli (friend)).
Its a sticker for over the Windows logo’s that might be present on your keyboard. it’s not related to any of your settings. The current plan has one design: the Tux penguin. Or do I misunderstand your question?
The material is SuperTack Gelamineerd Vinyl. It is supposed to last very long. I have a (different design) sticker of similar material on a mug, that lasts now over 3years with a couple of dishwasher rounds per week.
Count me in for 100 stickers. As others mentioned if this gets more popular you may want to do a wiki page where people can add themselves.
My stickers can be send / delivered to revspace, together with those from any other revspace members signing up. I would be happy to take care of distributing the stickers under revspace members.
