Hi all,
In the Fedora Ambassadors NA meeting tonight, we were talking about
producing more case badges, which look like this:

They are beautiful (IMHO) and the picture doesn't do it justice. What looks
gray in the picture is really silver, and quite shiny.
Due to the price points around producing these, it would make the most sense
to produce a HUGE amount of badges (5,000 or more even) and shipping them to
key folks around the world.

when we do the Q4 budget calculations.
An example of the budget calculations in previous quarters:

So, I guess the question is -- do folks in EMEA, LATAM, India, and Asia have
use for some of these? Should we go ahead with this plan?
Thanks,
Max

Just to add some concrete numbers so informed decision making can occur.
The first 1,000 case badges cost $1,000, so $1 each. Most of this is
the setup cost for the run. Every 1,000 case badges there after is
$180, so the price drops to 0.18 per badge. Unfortunately it doesn't
seem to drop any lower from there.
This means we could order 11,000 case badges for $2,800 (25.45 cents
each); 20,000 for $4,420 (22.1 cents each); and 50,000 for $9,820
(19.6 cents each).
While those numbers seem big, globaly if we split that across APAC,
EMEA, LATAM, and NA, it's a lot more affordable.
The quality on these case badges is quite honestly second to none. I
have literally not seen anything that comes close to comparing
anywhere. They are also incredibly popular. In NA we burned through
3000 in a couple of months.
