Mostly for visual reference based on the current MSC state. :) Not finished in the slightest, and more a 15m photoshop adventure than anything else. But maybe it helps future readers to visualize some ideas on this MSC.

Fonts used are roboto mono regular and "Maybe Next" Regular.

Front


Throughout fosdem 2021 multiple different features or ideas around matrix were discussed. As it turns
out, most of them already had an MSC for that! One feature that was keep being brought up, was to get
"There's an MSC for that!" onto a t-shirt. Unfortunately, there wasn't an MSC for that yet.

## Proposal

Get a t-shirt with "There's an MSC for that!" written on it.

## Potential issues

Once the spec is complete and there are no more MSCs the t-shirt will be obsolete.

That is never going to happen, though.


## Alternatives

Instead of a shirt, a sweater or thelike could be used.

It seems shirts have not been considered which I find quite sad since I am a regular user of them


## Security considerations

Unfortunately not all people are able to wear t-shirts, so a solution for those would have to be

what about wristbands with text for them?

This is a fair point, though I'm not sure if it would mitigate the security that a t-shirt provides. For one, the surface area of a t-shirt far outweighs that of a wristband. Wristbands can also be made from a variety of materials, some even opting for mere paper.

Not to mention the lack of area for displaying the intended messaging of the MSC.

I think if wristbands is taken as an approach, care should be taken to ensure the security and practicality of the device.

What about a hat? Or similar headware? It is more visible than a wristband and everyone that is affected by MSC tends to have a head. Or do we also want to integrate aliens via a bridge end expect headless users?

What about capes? Almost everyone has a neck and you can make them pretty big to put arbitrary messages on them. Would need to come with a disclaimer not to wear them next to aircrafts though.

## Unstable prefix

In places where this proposal mentions `t-shirt`, `de.sorunome.t-shirt` is to be used instead
