#277 Swag sponsor request for general events in China
Closed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by zsun.

This is a sponsor request for swags in China.

We have run out of swags by the end of 2016. Luckily we did not have any events this year so this doesn't matter a lot. Now I hear we will have a postponed SFD event in Tsinghua University in October 21st which is a joined event with other communities so more people are expected. As the swag coordinator in China I am writing to request sponsorship for making swags.

Current plan is to still make some key ring or pin with Fedora logo. I am requesting USD 100 this time and then deal with the vendors for a better bulk production price. Currently I get a reference as around 0.4 USD per piece without postage. So with USD 100 we could make a little more than 200 pieces. The SFD in Tsinghua will consume about 100 pieces so the remaining will be used in other ad-hoc events.

This won't be enough to cover the upcoming Fedora 27 release party so I might request swags for that when we are planning for it.

Wiki Page: No. As this is a general swag request and the swags will go into the SFD events and ad-hoc events.

Summary:

USD 100 for about 200 pieces of Fedora pin.

+1 This looks good to me.

+1 to USD100 for swag to address short term and upcoming events.

On a similar topic, it would be worthwhile to bring up on an appropriate forum, the mid/long term plans for events/outreach as well as increasing participation from Ambassadors and contributors. I'd request the OP to do the same.

+1 USD 100/- is reasonable atm.

We are trying a new vendor for the pins in case of vendor lockup.
The vendor for the pins do not provide printed invoice for small amounts of production, so I uploaded a electronic receipt.

Summary:
CNY 65 for 30 Fedora pins with postage.
CNY 600 for 300 keyrings with postage.
TOTAL: CNY 665 ~ USD 101.07 as of today.

@zsun have we tried Transferwise yet? It lets me send CNY directly to your bank account.

Please also transfer this ticket to me as @izhar seems to no longer be acting as APAC treasurer.

@zsun can you please respond?

@izhar are you going to take care of this?

@pjp I appreciate your assigning this to me, however @izhar said he would be taking care of these reimbursements. I'd like to give him that chance.

Everyone, this needs to be paid ASAP or it will come off of the budget for next year.

@bex , sorry .. was trying to process this just now and just realized that the new card havent been hooked up to paypal yet .. i think i have to start clean with the new FY ..

@zsun pin re: Transferwise
@izhar no problem

Hi @bex ,

Sorry I missed all the ticket emails. Transfer to bank account do not work well unless you can send CNY directly - if you send USD then I need some paperwork.
I'll drop you emails directly.

This has been paid. @zsun please close when received.
