I suggest the following: If teams register it should be essential to add the number of team members and the potential size. I would start to deliver different packages. It does not make sense to ship the same ammount to a 30 people event as well as to a 600 people event. I also would suggest that teams can request different amounts of stuff per se. In our case T-Shirts werent that helpful because it is quite cold in northern germany in September (about 14-15 degrees centigrade). So one would wear that under other clothes. I would suggest to provide a CD or DVD that has stuff for presentations (open source movies, statistics, images, music, lectures ...). Otherwise people need to collect all that data. Maybe also provide some OpenOffice documents for printing out SFD marketing stuff. Maybe also provide some Vcards to contact SFD organizers - so alltogether a good mix. BTW I suggest to already now bringt 2009 content and day to http://softwarefreedomday.org/ - In Kiel we have the problem that as well as last year another open source event now already chose October - so information about the date needs to be available more than just a few months before september. BTW2. I managed to get the surge protection for the wiki activated. maybe your settings a re a bit too strong. regards, thilo

We are preparing DFD too. So, I think that the pack need only little change. T-shirt was all right, but i think that you have to increase the number. Baloon are useless. In the 08 we was in a High school of more of 1000 student and are all to old for baloon. Need more CD's, and not only Ubuntu (that is useful and important to have) -- #################################### Alexjan Carraturo admin of Free Software Users Group Italia http://www.fsugitalia.org Fedora Ambassador: Axjslack ####################################

Hello. Germany speaking... ;-) In our case we could have dispensed the balloons. As we hadn't an event inside but a little booth there was no need for it. We also are going to celebrate DFD this year, it might be better to have two or three posters (A2 or so) to bring it on some windows. Last year we did this posters ourselves. In my opinion the CDs could be only for download and copying locally. Maybe then there is a chance to get some more T-Shirts which were really loved by the team members and the customers. Just my 2 cents.

Schwags this year

by Frederic Muller

Dear all, We've been starting to prepare for SFD'09 and we would like to know if there is anything that we could add/replace in the schwags we're sending out that could be more helpful for your team to prepare the event this year. We of course do have a limited budget, but it would be nice to get some feedback about how to possibly improve our support. So I hope to get a lot of feedbacks from the 600 team leaders and their support team who made SFD '08 happen! Looking forward to it. Fred SFI Vice President
