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.
Robert -- Thanks for the update. But I have to ask, my group signed up prior to the deadline, but we were probably not within the first 200 teams. Are we out of luck?

You were unfortunately team number 270, so you have missed out this year. Next year we'll be catering for at least 300 teams (last year it was 120) so make sure you register early next year. Have a great Software Freedom Day! Cheers, Pia -- Software Freedom Day 2007 http://softwarefreedomday.org/
Hi Robert, How to know at which postion are we registered in and would it be possible to get the SFD distributions. regards, anandanbu -- http://anandanbu.wordpress.com

The Nepal Team i.e. FOSS Nepal Community (www.fossnepal.org) has just received the CDs. Thnx for the CD supplies...we're eagerly waiting for the other supplies like the T-shirts, stickers and balloons! In the meantime, our SFD activities are going on in our wiki here: http://wiki.fossnepal.org/index.php?title=Software_Freedom_Day_2007 Happy SFD'ing!! Cheers, Subir
