T Shirt slogan contest

[TimH]

I am willing to work on a t shirt design, but would like to invoke the
collective creative juices of the group. Post any ideas you have for a
slogan. The author of the winning slogan will get an autographed
original of the final design plus t-shirt number 1. The decision of
the designer (me) is final. The final design, if any, will be
submitted so club meeting for acceptance.

[Strothman]

I was thinking about these kinds of things while I was at work today.
Things such as T-shirts, and business cards and the like. Maybe it's
just a matter of throwing up suggestions for wording to be a good
collaborative effort. But if you have any ideas whatsoever, then you
should feel free to share them. Even if your grand master Microsoft
Paint/Adobe Photoshop/GIMP skills aren't top notch, feel free to post
a photo.

I was messing around with "Google Wave" last night a little bit. And
as Jenny told me, "Google Wave" doesn't seem like it's all that hot,
but then again I'm not sure that any of us have ever tried to
collaborate a group project using GW. Considering we are currently
only seeing each other once every 2 weeks, maybe toying with something
like GW might not be a terrible idea, to keep the above mentioned
creative juices flowing.

Same for the business card. What is relevant information? What is the
information that will get you a Double Take, and make people
interested in telling their friends, co-workers, etc.

If no one wants to try GW, that's cool. But I'm PEER PRESSURING some
intense PAINT drafts to kill your time.

I liked Mark's "Talk Nerdy To Me." slogan.

I'd like "Louisville, KY" on there somewhere- just so we can all
remember where we live.

Thanks for stepping up on this Tim.

I see hackerspace was used on the shirt design, was this ever
officially declared?

[TimH]

I can easily change it to makerspace. Someone make a decision and let
me know.

Tim

[Glenn Barrett]

Seems like it would be best to stick with makerspace for the shirt since that is how the actual group is referring to itself.  Just my opinion.

Not to throw a wrench in the works, but we still haven't decided this issue. I am still firmly on the side of hackerspace. Perhaps a debate with final vote at the next meeting?

Mark

[Brian Wagner]

Leaning toward hackerspace...  Maybe we leave that section in white and then write it in with a sharpie?  Awesome work on the shirt.  Chris, can you get Jamie to get a quote, then we could take paypal orders or something.

[Frank Vuckovich]

There's even a debate about this? I'm surprised anyone would question
hackerspace. Is the fear we'll been considered a group of crackers by
real people if hackerspace is used?

[Joe]

*kerspace for playing around with *nix systems. OK OK so throwing a
wild card in there may not make it easy to say. Even more so if a
layperson tries to read it as starkerspace(and you thought hackerspace
could come across wrong) or asteriskerspace.

I would also like to point out that I value having a space over having
a shirt. I am not discouraging or complaining out the conversation at
all. I just want to make sure that we do not divert any of our
resources away from the goal.

[Christopher Cprek]

A couple of things:

1) hackerspace/makerspace was discussed at length but never decided.
Frankly, I don't think there's any reason these can't be used
interchangably, depending on the audience you are talking to. But if a
member feels strongly about it one way or another, we have a process
codified in our bylaws that allows you to bring the issue to a vote.
This is how we definitively resolve disagreement. So if it really
sticks in your craw, please by aware that all members have the power
to do something about it. Until such time, let the flamewars rage!
Just please either resurrect the original thread or start a new one to
avoid collateral damage.

2) Design by committee is a drag, design by mob is even worse. Tim has
done an awesome job putting together a T-shirt design and he can make
any modifications he deems worthy. When the group feels entitled to
start modifying your hard work, it is incredibly discouraging.
Recognize that Tim has all the power on his design and no one is going
to dictate changes. He can do whatever he wants to do in his design.
Please offer polite suggestions. Perhaps you could convince him of
changes by offering homemade cookies or even cold hard cash. This
could lead Tim to become a power mad T-shirt designing despot... But
you could create a coup by offering your own T-shirt design.

3) I agree with Joe that our financial focus is obtaining a space
first and foremost. If we can make a net profit off a of T-shirt sales
I am for it. If we lose money in the short term, I am against it. I'll
defer to Brian on how that works with pre-orders and such. Skull Alley
has a special right now on 50 1-color t-shirts for $4 a piece, not
including KY sales tax. This includes the shirts, screening, ink etc.
50 is actually a very low bare minimum order to make the screening and
such worthwhile, so it's a good deal for us compared to places that
would require a much larger minimum order. If pre-order numbers can
work out, go for it. Otherwise let's consider T-shirts a prize for
getting a space.

this is a hard call for sure !
     
 hacker space is the most relevant way to discride a group like this i believe ,  we are all hackers / do it yourself / maker types or have interest in makeing things ,  hobby stuff ,,  etc,,,,,
  
     but haveing said that  most none hip people hear hacker and think of computers or criminals ,etc,,      i dunno how many times ive told someone hey you wanna go to a hacker meeting an its like they instantly think its over there head or they dont wanna break the law,,, 

makerspace  a wider range of people will hear without thinking of computers or criminals ,
 ive asked folks that  i know didnt like computers or did any codeing if they know what make mag was ,  aah yeah they say thats a diy magazine ,  my wife gets craft mag , etc,,

    but makerspace is like calling the group a 2600 meeting , still not everyone will know wtf your talking about ,  
 
      lvl1 is a great name i say leave it at that just lvl1  ,, 
   any hackers that come across the site will say " oooh yeah they cool , they hack gibsons ,,,, "     then any maker that comes to the site sees an says "ooooh sweet they cnc flamethrowing cupcakes ,, wooot ! "      then  the average joe comes to the site an reads it an says " oooh look at them geeks , i dunno sounds dorky but they have classes an i wanna learn ! "

 

 tactically as in SEO  you want to use all terms that are relevant to the site an group ,   diy , hacker , make , crafters , hobbiest ,etc,,    used in the site that makes it hit on google with all those when searched ,  so dont drop any !  
    just word the about and site as somthen like   "  lvl1  louisville metros  only  maker , diy, hacker an hobbiest coalition  " 


  for tshirts again just put lvl1 on it then when an if somone asks about it you can explain ,  or they see it an wonder wtf is lvl1.org
 then google it later and find out its NON profit group for makeing , teaching , hacking an arts ,crafts ,etc,,,,,,,,

+1 on Chris's post. Our hacker/maker-space debate shouldn't derail the t-shirt project. Tim has done a great job on the shirt and I don't care that it labels LVL1 as a makerspace. LVL1 will be defined by what we do, not what we call it. I'm happy using either label. I just don't want hackerspace to be made verboten. Tailor the label to your current audience.

There will be (hopefully) many more t-shirts in the future. One t-shirt doesn't define us.

What would be REALLY funny is it you put both hackerspace and makerspace on the shirt with an empty check box
then the wearer could check it off
