That doesn't yet define how many of each size you plan to order -- you need to decide how to allocate the spare attendee ones, and how to allocate the "unknown volunteer" and "unknown video team" ones. Last year the initial orders were: Size Ordered Number in Penta S 15 12 M 100 82 L 130 115 XL 100 85 XXL 50 39 F-S 10 6 F-M 20 14 F-L 12 7 F-XL 3 2 Staff (volunteers and organisers): Size Ordered Number in Penta S 3 1 M 10 7 L 15 10 XL 15 11 XXL 7 7 F-S 3 2 F-M 3 2 F-L 3 2 F-XL 2 1 F-XXL 2 ? Video team: Size Ordered Number in Wiki S 5 1 M 15 2 L 25 10 XL 15 6 XXL 5 1 F-S 2 1 F-M 2 F-L 2 F-XL 1 F-XXL 2 2 (Numbers from http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/T-Shirts ) Last year we ran out of some sizes quite early, and had to order more, because: (1) The physical sizes were quite different from previous years' sizes for the same labels, so some people could not use the size which they had requested in Penta. (2) The print shop (like every year, but more) did not provide exactly the number we had requested for each size. Ideally we might control for point 1 by comparing some example shirts from the supplier with previous years' ones, though I suspect that's now impractical in the required schedule. What some suppliers call S might be M from another supplier, etc. -- and for the women's sizes, the variation between suppliers in size and shape can be much greater. To follow people's choices, it's obviously the physical measurements/ shape that are important, not the letters on the labels. Do we have any idea how this year's supplier's sizes (men's and women's) will compare to previous ones? To start a concrete discussion, here are the current numbers from http://debconf-data.alioth.debian.org/stats/only-reconfirmed/registration-data.txt with possible numbers to order based on your totals. I think that there are currently around 20 sponsors (regular and permanent), though perhaps more are due to be added to the web page? Size Number in Penta Possible order S 14 19 M 45 61 L 43 79 including 20 for sponsor bags XL 29 40 XXL 19 26 total: 150+sponsors share of 230: 205, + 20 for sponsor bags F-S 4 7 F-M 9 11 F-L 3 4 F-XL 2 3 total: 18 share of 230: 25 Did you mean 250 including sponsors, or 250 for attendees, plus the ones for sponsors? Here I just scaled up all the numbers to the totals, but it might be better to add a few extra to the smallest categories -- having only one spare t-shirt in a given size isn't really enough. Staff (volunteers and organisers) Size Number in Penta Possible order S 9 11 M 15 18 L 13 16 XL 7 9 XXL 5 6 total: 49 share of 75: 60 F-S 4 5 F-M 4 5 F-L 2 3 F-XL 2 2 total: 12 share of 75: 15 Note that this doesn't give many spare shirts over the numbers in Penta. Normally we hope to get more additional people involved in volunteering who hadn't signed up for it in advance. In addition, in a hot country it would be a good idea to let some staff have more than one staff t-shirt, even if they have to pay personally for the extra one(s). So I think 75 is too few? -- Moray _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
