CIS-2014 in Minsk.

Question for Peterius: will there be t-shirts/hoodies this time? My nephew saw a Kyiv souvenir and asked for one.

I agree. T-shirts and/or hoodies with Minsk designs should be available! Peter, contact me, and we'll organize the orders.

There are less than two weeks left until the event, and we don't have a design or even an approximate number of orders. You need to prepare for this at least a month in advance. Just coordinating and discussing who wants what color or size, what inscription, etc., takes a week. The design and the production of the items themselves also require at least 3-4 working days.
For Odessa and Kyiv, I did it out of a sense of belonging to the country and out of my own altruism. After the Kyiv incident, altruism disappeared. Not only does it take a lot of time (design, approval, quality control, daily communication with all customers regarding numerous details, receiving the items, dealing with payment, delivery, and then running around distributing them, and then shipping... for example, to ship an item to Russia, you have to stand in line for an hour:smile28:), but you also acquire the status of a profiteering speculator, judging by the posts on the forum. And it's not like I was making any money; I was doing everything at cost, and in Odessa, I made it for the Ukrainian team myself, at my own expense. But who would believe it?:)
Sorry, but I don't want to do this even for money. It's not my business. I've always had and still have other things to do. Even if I were to factor in the time spent on souvenirs, my main activity brings in many times more income. Altruism is dead, sorry.
The most I can do is create a good design based on sketches and ideas and/or produce the items based on an already prepared list of orders. If anyone else wants to take care of the rest, I'm happy to share my experience on what and how to do it.
