#69: Requesting budget approval for F24 and F25 Translation sprint participants ---------------------+------------------- Reporter: pravins | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------- Fedora translation group has been remain long time consistent participant to making Fedora available to global audience in their local language.
In flock 2016 G11N Workshop we had discussion about designing T-shirts for G11N group contributors. On the same line proposing to provide T-shirt for participants of vFAD participants of Feodra 24 and Fedora 25 sprint.
List of participants of F24 and F25 - https://pravins.fedorapeople.org/F24-F25-translation-vFad-participants This is generated from * https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/fedora-24-translation-sprint * https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/fedora-25-translation-sprint
Total number of contributors is: 86 (to be safer side good to produce 100 numbers)
Requested budget: 500 Euros (This is based on earlier developed T-Shirts in Brno)
In cc, vFAD organizing team.

I think this 5€/t-shirt is only for printing and not for shipping. Probably shipping costs should be added as well. Where the t-shirt will be printed? Where are the contributor mainly located? Will be possible to bulk ship some of those t-shirts?

Probably shipping costs should be added as well.
Where the t-shirt will be printed? Where are the contributor mainly
located? Will be possible to bulk ship some of those t-shirts?
Yes, the price is for the t-shirts themselves, shipping it's not included. They will be printed in Czech Republic as they already did this before and seem to have good price & quality. In the list, we discussed about using meetings or FAD to distribute the shirts, so instead shipping to many places (each for contributor), it's possible to ship all or almost all shirts to a single place and then distribute them. I'm not sure if there's any main location to contributors. In example, Joan Azizaj and myself are in EMEA but there are contributors in Brazil and India as well.
Hope this explanation helps.

If this is approved quickly and the printing is done quickly, I may be able to take them to the FUDCons in LATAM and APAC in my luggage, if this is helpful.

That would be great. That would leave EMEA only to distribute.

That's good distribution strategy. If, approved. We will quickly run exercise of taking size and region mapping. I hope, we can discuss this ticket in 26th Sept council meeting :)

We're still waiting for good budget info. Bex is working on that and promises it by the end of the month. However, he noted in the meeting today that this is in the "we definitely have enough" range.
Let's vote in ticket here using the lazy consensus method — needs three +1 votes and no -1s by next week's meeting.

Comment (by robyduck):
I love shirts for contributors who dedicate constantly their time to do stuff. We had awesome shirts for the 10 years, but also for F19 (You helped to unpack Schroedinger's cat - and it is alive). In both cases we awarded them for people doing stuff constantly.
I feel this is a bit too specific, it's just about a short event, and there are many people who participated just to get a badge for it, not for the sprint itself. Don't understand me wrong, but I would rather try to award a shirt to people who translate, let's say ''500-1000 strings'' or so. Even better if we could award nice shirts to people through all groups, not just L10n.
''0'' from my side.

I want to know why only selected people has been given this 10 years of T-shirt. I have been contributing to Fedora since more than 10 years. My major contribution is in package reviewing which are thousands of package reviews. I want to ask here do you see package reviewing/sponsoring is a very least honoured work in Fedora. Why was I not qualified for that T-shirt?
There are already a very rare chance for Fedora contributors to receive Fedora T-shirts. I am disappointed that you compared two different things with different goals.
Also, if I am missing here any previous discussions on this 10 years of fedora T-shirts then please point me there.

Thanks for your opinion which I will not deny based on the facts you have stated.

We can definitely add some better criteria for awarding T-shirt. Like we can run query on Zanata for members contributed 500+ string over the time. I think this number will be more than people participated in Translation sprint :)
Translation group never got any specific Fedora goodies to promote activities they are doing. IMHO this is good chance to start something for Translation group.
Considering budget perspective, i think lets start small and may be in next attempt (May be F28) we can have better criteria.
If other members also feel to have better criteria like 500+ words contribution, we can definitely go for it.

Yeah, that would be better, IMHO. My concern is to have people working hard on translations and don't reward them with a shirt, just because they missed the translation sprint.

I think the goal is not different, it's the same, and rewarding contributors with a nice shirt is awesome. Let's just do it right and try to not miss anyone. Taking in consideration just a translation sprint which is also a thing for badge hunters, is probably not the right criteria. And yes, L10n folks are doing a lot of work and we should think about them!
It's off topic, but here is the wiki page for the 10 years shirt, with its criteria. I know we probably missed some people, which is sad, but it was really hard for all to put together the list.

Comment (by pravins):
I agree with robyduck. In fact even i thought for same (500/1000+ string) but was just wondering for numbers/budget etc. Since sprint happened recently and we have numbers ready through badge owners. Found it low hanging fruit.
Same time, in long term we have to make tradition of sprint for each Fedora release. I am thinking developing T-shirt for sprint participants can bring more participation in future. Also this time T-shirt plan for sprint participant is surprise (if happens).
But your point is valid, many participants participated for badge as well but that is one of the intention behind badges ;)
I have requested Alex to provide stats with participants over last one year with significant contribution. Waiting for his response here.

Comment (by robyduck):
Thank you Alex for this great work. I guess with 500 words (160 people) we are over budget, so probably strings would be better.
For the record, and lazy consensus, I'm +1 with this criteria, also if we want to change the criteria a bit to have near 100 people to reward, because we really will not miss anyone ;)

Comment (by jibecfed):
Idea is great. The way to measure is better with word than strings, but to limit the number of people it is a quick and acceptable way to do.
Are we sure we have good language representation? Some little team in asian/indian/eastern europe/arabic/african languages? If we have tiny languages in the 500 words rules, can we add a few to support them?

@jibecfed, not sure if I understand you correctly, but the statistics is based on individuals contribution, not on language. So it does not matter even if its tiny language team.
