[dev] Re: Apache Libcloud "road to 1.0"
Thanks Shane
Adding the rest of the community to the thread (dev@) and the PMC.
Everyone we are discussing the 1.0 milestone and doing a thank you for all the contributors. This would be a giveaway Tshirt.
I've started mucking around with a script to pull the data from the GitHub API https://github.com/tonybaloney/github-contrib-tag-cloud

Yay libcloud! Sounds like some awesome energy here.
- You should ask on the privately-archived trademarks@apache.org for
permissions to use the ASF feather logo (note also: we have a brand new
feather now: http://apache.org/foundation/press/kit/ )
In general if this is the PMC producing goods to give away for free, use
is allowed as long as Apache logos aren't combined with other corporate
logos. Making a libcloud logo shirt with a listing of all your
contributors would be awesome - since they are the people who have built
the software, they certainly can have their names there. 8-)
- The ASF is a public charity, so we have to be careful with our
expenses, but there have been cases where we've provided some funding
for specific project items - hopefully someone else here will speak up
about that.
If you can get another company to pay for the items, that's fine too
from the ASF's point of view, as long as logos aren't combined. These
should be giveaways promoting libcloud and your community, not some
other company.
- I strongly recommend including private@libcloud (or dev@libcloud) when
discussing this. That ensures everyone knows the whole PMC is aware of
what's happening.

I need to kick around this script and get it to produce the list with
the right spec.
https://github.com/tonybaloney/github-contrib-tag-cloud/blob/master/gitcloud/__main__.py
I had to do some work on it to make sure we don't just order a bunch
of t-shirts with @KAMI in massive letters. (although, thanks for your
contributions)
There's a bit of a catch-22 with the sponsorship since Apache rules
state you can't have the logo next to a corporate logo. But we can of
course say which corporate sponsored the initiative. So if we can find
a sponsor that doesn't mind not having their names on the t-shirts but
they would get love and mentions in return!

Agree that this is an awesome idea. I also like the idea of a larger set
of contributors on the back of the shirt. Maybe to be fair, go with the top
50 contributors <https://github.com/apache/libcloud/graphs/contributors>,
or anyone with 5+ commits.
I'm also happy to dig up some sponsorship funding and am even willing to
contribute out of pocket too.

(dropping other ASF mailing lists)
I love the idea.
I already wanted to order some nice stickers from sticker mule in the past,
but I got put off by 50$ shipping to Slovenia.
As far as including contributor names on the t-shirts goes - I also like
that idea, but I'm wondering how to decide which names to include (and how
to make that decision fair).
We had many contributors over the years so it's probably impossible to
include all 200+ names on the t-shirt (unless we use a really tiny font
size :))
