Update on schwags

by Frederic Muller

Hi everyone, Answering a few questions from 2-3 persons let me explain how we're proceeding: - Canonical will be shipping the Ubuntu CDs and they needed a 60 notice to make sure CDs would arrive on time. From my experience last year it worked and I got mine 1-2 weeks before the event (if I remember correctly). That might still be tight if you're organizing SFD on the 6th. - For T-shirt, stickers, button badges, balloons all samples have been confirmed and production has started. We're planning to pack on Tuesday night and Wednesday (next week) and ship the following day (before end of July). My experience last year was that I received the T-shirts on time and the balloons/stickers 2 months after the event. This year we'll be shipping all together and your feedback on labeling has been very valuable. The courier company is telling us delivery time will be between 3 to 7 days depending on which part of the world you are located. So even doubling that should still get you the schwags early enough. For CDs we decided to localize the OpenDisc last year as no one speak English where I live. Having the budget and a plan on paper helped me to secure sponsors who helped to cover our costs and distribute a lot more CDs. We did that in 3 weeks to give a rough idea of the time needed. Hoping it's helpful. Good preparations! Fred www.softwarefreedomday.org

Early start

by Georg Sluyterman

Hi We (NJLUG / Aalborg Denmark) are starting earlier this year (sept. 6th), because a market is going on in the city at that time (= a lot more people). Is it possible to get the T-shirts, CD's etc. in time? -- Regards Georg Sluyterman

CDs and other materials...

by boscagarda-meetup2345d＠yahoo.com

We will be running it on or about Sept 20 depending upon a couple of factors (location available, presenters availability and so on). We just want to prepare everything in advance that we can. We're lining up sponsors, schwag, food, location, presenters and so on now. So we also need lots of CDs. The more professional they look the better. Between now and then I could burn a lot of CDs, but the labels would look atrocious. ----- Original Message ---- From: Frederic Muller <fred(a)beijinglug.org> To: Open discussions about SFD <sfd-discuss(a)sf-day.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 9:38:39 PM Subject: Re: [SFD-discuss] "Promotional educational material" stickers on the pack for duty issues Hi!

We're getting ready to run a SFD event in Cleveland, we expect about 250 folks to attend. So we're looking for CDs. I don't mind paying for them.
