By popular demand we are offering shiny metal trinkets !
If you’d like to get one, you can order them now as an add-on in the NixCon 2025 ticket shop:
They’re not free, but thanks to the economy of scale they’re quite a steal!
Each one is custom-made, so we need to order them sufficiently in advance.2025-08-20T10:00:00Z .
They will have to be picked up at NixCon 2025
Of course you can also order extra ones for your friends who can’t make it to NixCon this year.
PS: CFP is still open for another 6 hours, be sure to submit in time!

Love this idea and these look amazing!
Do we know how they’ll look with longer legal names? Will the font size simply decrease to make it fit the tag?
Can I buy this without goin to NixCon?

I’ll check, will follow-up!
Yes, but to actually get it you’ll need to ask a friend who’s going to get it for you

@Infinisil Just adding this here so anyone not on Matrix can see the answer too
Awesome idea, love the plates, quality looks great too!
Regarding custom content, are we limited by the character set? For example, can we use emojis?

I was wondering about a similar thing: are diacritics like č handled correctly? It’d be a shame if my name was printed with a big old � in the middle

@nicolas-goudry @justinas I can confirm that special characters and emojis won’t be a problem!
@Erethon Name plates can be varied in length depending on the text, but 10cm is the maximum. The one from the picture is 7.5cm. So if it doesn’t fit, text size would have to be decreased or so.
I added a special requests field, so I can try to accomodate it when ordering, but no guarantee

Oh and actually they can be longer than 10cm too, it just gets increasingly hard to wear
Another option is to have a third line if necessary

I just noticed mine came in two different sizes depending on the style! One is 75mm and the other is 85mm. I don’t mind obviously and I like them both, but something to keep in mind for future runs.

Oh yeah interesting! I told the producer to make it longer when the name is rather long, but I guess they didn’t do it entirely consistent

(no home delivery!), so you will still need a ticket.
