We have a limited amount of funds for JuliaCon 2024 merchandise this year. What kind of merchandise would you be interested in buying at JuliaCon 2024?
Oh my goodness I would buy an extra conference t-shirt in a heartbeat!
For future reference, would your enthusiasm for conference t-shirts be dampened if they incorporated the logo of a sponsor or two?
Would you be encouraged to buy a t-shirt without logos if the free one had a JuliaHub logo on it?
I won’t be in attendance, so I am not voting, but FWIW, I don’t mind sponsor logos on a conference shirt as long as they’re on the back and the graphic is on the front. I would happily buy an extra with or without logos.
I’m soft launching the JuliaCon 2024 merchandise store here based on your feedback:
I’m not sure if we will be able to fulfill everything, but if it definitely help if people pre-order items before the conference. We’ll refund everything we cannot fulfill.
Great to see!
Some years ago I used to use a company called Vistaprint for the occasional merch item for clients.
I remember they provided a wide range of “brandable” items, if you’re looking for more merch ideas. I know it’s probably too late for this year’s conference, but if you’re setting up a store anyway some of these might be popular. I quickly mocked up a few:
Pens and USB sticks are useful if you have logos with large aspect ratios:
analogue notebooks
all kinds of water bottles
key things
draw-string bags
With a simpler design (and probably very little text) you could get embroidered stuff, such as beanie hats:
If you’re looking for more ideas (umbrellas? dressing gowns?) - vistaprint.co.uk was the company I used to use.
Any chance there’ll be more items sold later? It’s all sold out after 9 hours from the announcement.
Maybe. Demand was very high. I’ll let you know if anything becomes available.
Hm, I was all day at a conference, so I missed all the 9 hours of availability.
But if there are sponsors on, I would also not be interested. I do like wearing advertisements for Julia but not for sponsors.
We have some hoodies available:
If we run out, I might be able to print more. DM me the size you want if we do not have it available.
Basically this is what I have a small proudction run on is this hoodie:
with is logo on it:
It’s on sale now in limited quantities:
I cannot make more until I sell these.
After this, we’ll switch to an online only store which you can order on demand and they will ship it to your house.
Without the blue background?
I think we sent in this one:
Ah, glad to hear - all that blue was for the Xitter/socmedia stuff.
By the way, I think we’ll need an updated REPL design based on the poll above.
Please open an issue - probably need to bikeshed text content 
Did we end up also being able to get extra conference t-shirts? Wasn’t sure what ended up happening. Thanks!
This will probably depend on the size, check with us on Friday of the con probably.
Did the hoodies arrive? I could use one today 
They should be here this afternoon. Let me check.
