SFD team supplies: shipping update

by Robert Schumann

Hi Software Freedom Days teams, This email is to let you all know that all supplies have now been dispatched to teams that registered before the deadline and within the first 200 teams. This year we've been ambitious and multinational in our distribution: * T-shirts to Asian teams have been dispatched from Quezon City, Philippines (last week) * T-shirts to Australia and New Zealand have been dispatched from Sydney, Australia (yesterday) * T-shirts to teams in the Americas were sent courtesy of the Free Software Foundation in Boston, USA (two weeks ago) * T-shirts to African and European teams were dispatched from Abingdon, UK (last week) All these shipments have been via normal postage, and apparently some teams have already received their packages. We hope you like the T-shirts! Balloons and stickers are being sent from Sydney, Australia, today. In addition, CDs have been shipped via courier from the Netherlands this week. Mine were dispatched yesterday and arrived today! This weekend we will be sending out emails to all teams that registered in time to qualify for supplies, to let you know how many T-shirts and CDs you'll be receiving. I'd like to thank all teams for their patience with the various problems we've been having over the last few weeks with our shipments, website and mailing lists. And many thanks also go to John Sullivan and the rest of the team at the Free Software Foundation, who have partnered with us to ease some of our distribution problems by shipping supplies to all teams in North, South and Central America. Their contribution has been invaluable to making SFD a success this year. Happy SFDing, Robert.

No merchandise in the package

by Aleksandar Balalovski

Hello, I today got the t-shirts from/for SFD2007 :) We are kinda happy here. What I noticed in the package is that we dont have merchandise such as balloons and whatever else was supposed to be sent. We said that we dont want CDs since we have a sponsorship of lots CDs for the celebration day, but we didn't cancel the balloons order :) So I was interested if we get balloons/other merchandise (except CDs) in separate package or is this some sort of mistake?

I'm pretty sure I did not use the minya font at all, but it is what scribus has set as it's default font. -- Sincerely Melissa Draper http://www.meldraweb.com Phone: 0404 595 395 (intl): +61 404 595 395 P.O Box 1412 Lavington, NSW 2641
