I forgot to post my pictures of the FUDcon shirts. They came out great. Andreas gave us the idea of having a tag cloud to illustrate the shirt, and Charlie Brej wrote us a tool to generate the tag clouds from the FUDcon and Fedora logos.
Also, because of popular demand, they are black instead of white!
(modeled by Ray Strode!)
One thing I learned producing these shirts is that two layers of ink are used on black t-shirts like this, so there are two layers of white, and a layer of white underneath the blue. Good to know, I suppose, since it affects the price.
those shirts are really cool

Those turned out really sweet. Great job!

Posted by Anonymous | January 12, 2009, 8:55 pmHow much more expensive is it to do a black shirt like this instead of the usual white? Do you need to do multiple layers even on light gray material?

Posted by nicubunulj | January 13, 2009, 7:49 amI would say roughly it cost 25% more; we got 200 white shirts for $900 with more colors, we got 150 black shirts for about $1000.
Posted by mairin | January 13, 2009, 2:31 pmI am surprised to not see girls commenting on this post about how sexy is the model (Ray)

Probably they don’t want to piss off Mo

Indeed, is a wise thing to avoid Mo’s wrath

Posted by Anonymous | January 13, 2009, 1:37 pmI’m a girl, I read geeky stuff, and Ray is fucking hot. You’re just jealous.
Posted by mairin | January 13, 2009, 2:30 pmNot really, I’m smoking hot myself (I’m a guy)
Ray is just cute, like a bunny.

Posted by mairin | January 13, 2009, 4:15 pmThe shirt is definitely hot; I wore it to a user group meeting last night in Cambridge. As for Ray, I’ll leave that up to you!
