- So far, Mihaela, Marc and myself (they replied to this thread). One or
two more German speakers would be nice.

- I don't expect we'll manage the brochures in time (but if anyone wants
to finish them up, they'd be very welcome! Mihaela started working on
one here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/issues/28 ), but
we can certainly do stickers, and I would like to have a rollup banner
available.

Ryan still needs to share the data for the rollup banner that was used
in the US, though - if we had that, it would be easy to make one. We
would use the
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/tree/master/media folder in
our repository for saving it. Just needs to be uploaded (and funding for
rollup approved by board, or taken from the preapproved amount, of which
I remember that it was for last year, though).

I have test-ordered a couple of stickers (see photo:
https://framadrive.org/s/ir3kN4TZK4gN7GB), but they didn't turn out as
nice as the ones Chris made (they seem to be printed with a lower
resolution (photo compression makes it hard to see, though), and 'silver
foil' is something different, too - and of course, they lack that bit of
creative skill. They're very durable, though, I believe.).

At least I now know what type of data I need to send when printing white
on silver, and making cutting lines :)

The sheet itself cost 2,84 €, corresponding to roughly 7 eurocent per
sticker. Machine adjustment was 8,20 €, though. More sheets are cheaper.

I'd prefer Chris' stickers, though, if we can manage to get some of them
over here in time.

- Thanks :)
