Dear Marcos,

thank you very much for your feedback, that is very helpful.

For FSFE materials, two things came out as no surprise, but confirmation: people don't care about the free your android materials, and stickers are way more interesting than anything else.

Stickers usually taken way more than leaflets. On the other hand the F-Droid leaflet has a good demand at technical events, and if people are interested in using their Android without google.

The third one, which I hadn't notice before, was that this particular "hacking for freedom" sticker was in high demand (so much that we don't have any left). Not only I saw people taking them, I actually saw three different laptops with them sticked already, in one of them it was even the sole sticker.

One of the reasons I might have not noticed this before: this was the first time since we had them that we actually bothered to cut/separate all of them before the event (instead of having a strip of them).

That is a good hint.

@Olga: can you make sure that we cut more of those already before?

Anyway, and actually replying to your e-mail:

• I wasn't actually asking for new materials, but since we'll have Rui on

the FSFE Summit, where I guess you'll have all your materials, maybe he could bring a new pack of stuff from you, maybe including those stickers? We'll have Software Freedom Day a couple of weekends after, so they sure wuild be useful there;

@Olga/Cellini: can you make sure we have them at the summit booth?

• While I have one of those stickers on my laptop, myself, I do agree with

you that while the message is great, the colors/design could be better. Maybe the fact that even like this the stickers are successful should be a hint for FSFE to make a "new version" of them?;

Elio offered to do a new version. Depending on how fast he is, we might already have it for the summit.

• The event wasn't even technical. We were invited to be present on a music

festival, which had an afternoon of talks and workshops on themes related to "alternative/free lifestyles" (permaculture and so on), our talk was about "free technology", followed by one about the "hacker culture". Most people there weren't teck savvy, but I was actually surprised to how successful the talk was: it seems that the public on "trance festivals" have an open mind to the free software message, I know that at least a couple of people actually acted upon information they learnt during the session!

Really interesting. Did you publish something about it? Maybe we can link to it from the next newsletter.

All the best, Matthias

Hi Elio,

I decided to really went simple with this and chose the fellowship colors as background. I also made the fellowship logo a bit bigger.

What do you think?

I like it that simple way. I think we could just test it at the summit.

@Jonas: as Erik is not here, could you take a decision about that? If you agree with testing it with (for around 150€), can you please tell Elio so?

Then Elio could go to https://www.wir-machen-druck.de/Hochwertige-Aufkleber-mit-freier-Groesse--re... and choose a size (my recommendation is: don't make it too big as people often don't have that much space left on their laptops) and then create the print ready files for them?

When we have it until Tuesday, Erik could directly order it.

Regards, Matthias

Hi Elio,

have you seen the message? Can you submit a print ready file soon? The longer we wait the higher the chance that it will not arrive in time. So we should definitely order this week.

Regards, Matthias

Really sorry, I prepared the files many days ago, but it seems I forgot to click send on the email. Heres we go: http://elioqoshi.me/owncloud/index.php/s/SgTYmtaRbGDPgnf

Which size did you pick for the sticker at wir-machen-druck.de ?

Erik, can you clarify the details with Elio and order it?

Thanks, Matthias

I'd be happy to help to redesign that sticker. Can you send me an example of how it is right now?

I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list to contact about this issue. If not, please foward it to the appropriate people.

I've come from an event about free software where we spreaded, amongst other things, a good ammount of FSFE materials (flyers, stickers, et cetera). It was easy to notice that the most wanted item was the "Hacking for freedom" sticker. I just noticed that the sticker is, however, no longer available, neither at https://fsfe.org/contribute/spreadtheword.en.html nor even at https://fsfe.org/contribute/promotion-materials-archive.en.html . I'm not sure if this is some kind of oversight or on purpose, but I thought I should right to you in either case, because if this particular sticker is as popular as it was in this particular event, then I'm guessing you should probably think about keeping it :-)

IIRC we should have some left here. Maybe not enough to add them on the page. If you want some, please make an order and we sent them to you.

What kind of event was it? Maybe we can slightly improve the sticker (we were not happy with the colors) and offer it in future.

Regards, Matthias
