Thanks for supporting SFD 2011!
I just wanted to offer my thanks to everyone here who helped support SFD 2011! Our event in Dallas was small but successful. We had a lot of people show up. We gave away lots of Ubuntu and Fedora CDs. Thanks for all the swag, it arrived well before the big day and we used nearly all of it. We even inflated all the balloons and decorated the room with them this year. One note about the t-shirts - they suffered major shrinkage. On the first washing, my large became a medium. On the second wash, it shrunk to small. :) But better those orange shirts from a few years ago where the color leached out and stained everything you washed with them. Best t-shirts so far have been the bright green ones (maybe 2007?) - no shrinkage, no color leaching. If anyone knows who made those, use that company to make next year's shirts! We also got some media attention on Geekbeat.tv. Cali Lewis came out and shot video at our event, check it out if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO3N_N3e7Eo -Steve

Thanks for your feedback we are always trying to improve! We washed the tshirt before to make sure the tshirt quality or the color will not leached out. It's strange that my tshirt didn't shrink at all but I washed mine with washing machine with 40 degree water (rather cold water). It would be interested to know how did you wash yours? Pockey

Took some time to reply, just to make sure... After several washings, our t- shirts didn't (visibly, at least) shrink... Cheers, -- Marcos Marado
