[SFD-discuss] Finding out what items are on the way

[Robert Schumann]

Hi all,

Melissa: apologies for sowing confusion as regards what we're sending to
teams. The email you refer to was intended to determine how teams felt about
receiving a CD with useful free resources, either in addition to or as a
substitute for The Open CD. Previous registrations are in no way
invalidated, particularly since we have, on the basis of responses to that
email, decided that we will not be changing the team supplies at all
(although that's not been announced yet, as you point out).

Also, Pia slipped up when she said that the registration email you received
contained a summary of your request - at the moment, the email is simply an
acknowledgement of registration. This is something we will change in the
registration email next year: it will include all your registration
information.

However, unofficially I can answer the original question about what you will
be receiving:
 * T-shirts: each team will get 3.
 * Ubuntu CDs: we will try to send as many as you asked for; the options
available were 0, 10, 20, 240, 60, 100, >100. If you asked for more than
100, we will decide on the basis of your event plan how to allocate
additional CDs - although we're unlikely to be able to offer more than 100.
 * The Open CD: as for Ubuntu CDs, except the choices were 0, 10, 20, >25.

These will all be dispatched around the first week of August; additional
Open CDs and T-shirts will be available for purchase through the website (
http://sfd.zac-ware.com/) until the end of July. We may continue selling
shirts and CDs after that, although the price may go up (to account for
changes in shipping arrangements) and they may not get to you before SFD.

The official announcement about supplies, dates and deadlines will be sent
to the SFD-announce mailing list soon.

I hope that answers your questions... let me know if there's anything I left
out.

Robert.
