Re: [SFD-discuss] SFD-Items received

by shirish

Hi all, We recieved the items (only 2 tshirts instead of 3 :( ) apart from that everything went swell. We are doing a small event inside our company, just asking people and their friends to come by (low-profile) Slight criticism 1. Find the color too bright, too loud 2. Too much stuff written on the backside. Unlike the document freedom day t-shirt which one can wear everyday, this one would be a taxing both for the wearer and people who see. A more subdued tones and hues would have been lot better. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

Sure, you're right to keep the event fresh and new every year. The theme is the same as last year, so CI (Corporate Identity) is not completely "cut off". I'm working in the marketing-department of a huge Retailer, so don't take my opinion too seriously (marketing people are a bit, well, -special...)

It is a major concern that numerous SFD groups are being coerced out money for the Canonical and SFD packages - either for "customs" charges or by the courier (DHL). When declaring a value why not make it $0.01 for the entire package not Euro0.26 per CD as is currently stated by Canonical. It needs to be clearly stated on the package that no customs or additional charges are due. :( -- Steve Computer Support Officer P/T Teacher Information Technology P/T Arts & IT Faculty Bathurst TAFE NSW Western Institute Phone: 02 6338 2450 email: steve(a)bathurst-tafe.nsw.edu.au .... _ ...
