A few questions have come up about schwag and I am discussing this with the Board at the moment and will come back to you all with exactly what is happening, how to find out what your team is getting and where we are up to. Be sure that we will make sure you all have as great a Software Freedom Day as we can possibly support :) Cheers, Pia -- Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ "We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution." - Bill Hicks

If you can't find that email, please let us know. My registration email doesn't include any information about what I asked for. It just confirmed that my team is registered. -- -\ Przemek Kulczycki <--> Azrael Nightwalker /- -/ #==> KNI AE <==> CLUG <==> Ubuntu-PL <==# \- -\ >> jabber id: azrael(a)jabber.autocom.pl << /- -/ > http://reksio.ftj.agh.edu.pl/~azrael/ < \-

Re: [SFD-discuss] Finding out what items are on the way

by Robert Schumann

Hi all, Melissa: apologies for sowing confusion as regards what we're sending to teams. The email you refer to was intended to determine how teams felt about receiving a CD with useful free resources, either in addition to or as a substitute for The Open CD. Previous registrations are in no way invalidated, particularly since we have, on the basis of responses to that email, decided that we will not be changing the team supplies at all (although that's not been announced yet, as you point out). Also, Pia slipped up when she said that the registration email you received contained a summary of your request - at the moment, the email is simply an acknowledgement of registration. This is something we will change in the registration email next year: it will include all your registration information. However, unofficially I can answer the original question about what you will be receiving: * T-shirts: each team will get 3. * Ubuntu CDs: we will try to send as many as you asked for; the options available were 0, 10, 20, 240, 60, 100, >100. If you asked for more than 100, we will decide on the basis of your event plan how to allocate additional CDs - although we're unlikely to be able to offer more than 100. * The Open CD: as for Ubuntu CDs, except the choices were 0, 10, 20, >25. These will all be dispatched around the first week of August; additional Open CDs and T-shirts will be available for purchase through the website ( http://sfd.zac-ware.com/) until the end of July. We may continue selling shirts and CDs after that, although the price may go up (to account for changes in shipping arrangements) and they may not get to you before SFD. The official announcement about supplies, dates and deadlines will be sent to the SFD-announce mailing list soon. I hope that answers your questions... let me know if there's anything I left out. Robert.

Hi Daniel, <quote who="Daniel Faulknor"> > Is there any way to find out what, out of what we requested, is going to be > sent to us? so we know what to purchase next to that. You should have received an email when you registered stating exactly what you asked for. If you can't find that email, please let us know.
