[Karlie Robinson]

Hello everyone.

I was wondering if everyone could help me out.

Here's what's going on....

For those of you who don't know, Steve's class at RIT was born out of 
the Fedora-OLPC SIG and it will be a joint venture to promote RIT, 
Fedora, SugarLabs.org, OLPC and TeachingOpenSource.org (that last one is 
on my personal agenda).  Though if you have SWAG from other FOSS 
Projects I'd be happy to proselytize on your behalf.

I'm also stoked to be invited because at a much smaller conference in 
the spring[2], we gave away 300 Open Source Software discs in 1.5 
hours.  Plus it's an opportunity to talk to folks who may not know 
Fedora, or even open source.

I have a formal Fedora FAmNa Request ticket open [3] if you can help out.

If needed, I can also email a PDF with USPS Domestic US postage/mailing 
label.  The flat rate envelopes and boxes are a dream since I'll only 
need to know what size/service you're using.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Karlie

Just saw the dates in the ticket, but when do you need it by??
What and how much do you need??

Unfortunately most of us are pretty low on swag, but we can send you what we
have.

(as I am still out of town) but that is pretty much all I have left in
regards to swag.

This is my first time at NYSCATE, so I'm not sure what kinds of numbers 
I'm going to need.  The guys tell me there will be thousands of attendees.

We get rolling this weekend (Sunday November 22 - Tuesday 24, 2009) so 
I'm going to have take whatever can be shipped to me in the next day or 
so.  Right now I don't have a thing and I'm not sure I'll even have time 
to print discs.

If we don't have anything, we don't have anything.  I'm just trying the 
last minute rally.

I'll send you my remaining F11 discs, and some stickers. Sounds like
Brian has tats covered.

At this point I need to thank the flowing people for going above and 
beyond and getting boxes of goodies in the mail, simply because I asked.

* Brian Powell https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:bpowell01 and
      his sweet wife for sending Fedora pens, conversation stickers and
      Tattoos
    * Chris Neves https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Slipp3d for
      sending Fedora 11 discs, "Powered by Fedora" stickers, buttons and
      Tattoos.
    * Adam Holt http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt and SJ Klein
      http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Sj for sending OLPC postcards.
    * Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier http://www.dissociatedpress.net/ for
      giving me permission to use the Free openSUSE 11.1 Quick Ship
