Hi Guys,

Just received an email saying that SFD supplies have been dispatched.
As you can see bit short on t-shirts and OpenEducation DVD's, and no
OpenCD either, however man did they not let us have some Ubuntu Disc's
burnt, should actually cover us for Software Freedom Day, and for the
Freshers Faye.

* 3 x T-shirts
 * 20 x balloons
 * 1 x OpenEducation DVDs
 * 120 x Ubuntu 9.04 CDs

I've managed to get commitments for £500 pounds of sponsorship for the
event, to help with the production of goodie bags for the visitors and
to make sure that all the volunteers have t-shirt for the event.  The
issue that i have and i'm open to suggestions, however i will need to
make a decision on this soon, is either to purchase another 15 from
SFD stores or to have designed the a special one for the Dundee event.
 The £500 is primarily for Goodie bags, and a lagre chunk of that will
need to go towards produce some items for people to take away, so
maybe some badges printed up, some more CD's burnt, and pens and
keyring's that sort of stuff, however i think its important to have
the speakers and volunteers wearing a T-Shirt the signals they are
involved with the event, it worked for most people very well last
year.  I think it fair to say we probably need around 20, there is 10
speakers for starters and then by the time you take the people from
here that have volunteered and the staff from the HMC i think that
would be another 10.

Like i say feel free to discuss it if you want, happy to take peoples
views.  BUT i will need to make decision over the next couple of days,
to make preparations so that they are here by the 19th
