The WordCamp San Francisco shirts arrived today and they are fantastic. I wrote a post on my personal blog last week about the backstory of the design, but the quick pitch is: we did a riff on an xkcd comic strip that in specific to the WordPress/WordCamp community. Here’s a picture of Beau and Chelsea modeling them. Yes, Chelsea is very short. And Beau is very tall. 🙂
The stickers? Also awesome. They’re an in-kind sponsorship from Sticker Giant, and they are gorgeous. The comic from the shirt is repeated so you can slap it on your laptop, and is joined by a variety of smaller WordPress and WordCamp SF logo stickers so that you have plenty of choices. Thank you so much, Sticker Giant! John from Sticker Giant also made a quick little video about how challenging these were to print. What can we say? WordPress has high standards? (Heh.)
Didn’t make it out here for WCSF? We are selling livestream tickets that cover all three days at Mission Bay, and there’s an option for a livestream + shirt ticket. Pretend it says livestream + shirt + sticker, because that is what you’ll get. We’ll send out the second round shirts and stickers in about 2 weeks if we don’t have your size at the end of WCSF.
About a year and half ago, I was sitting in a job interview expressing my desire for excellence in the work that I do. Behind that statement was a building dissatisfaction with the corporate world and the growing knowledge that it was time for a change. I wanted to do something meaningful, not just something that was building shareholder wealth.
