Ordered 'em -- thanks for the pointer [WAS Re: Linux Stickers]
Brian, per the tip I got in my GNHLUG e-mail this morning from Matt Brodur, I have now filled my need for stickers by ordering a few "Penguin Power" sticker sheets from "cheapbytes.com" -- as well as the latest Suse 10.3 DVD to save the bother of doing a download then burning one... ...Carl -- Brian Chabot wrote: Here's what I've come up with so far: A site called Washington Promotions & Printing – DemStore.com - says they can print these in 1x5/8" in 2-color gloss white paper background for $170.85 per roll of 1000 (plus shipping). My original idea was to mark items I'll be selling at the new company I recently started, but the text can easily be changed to accommodate a more general usage. My new company is called "Just Works" and will be selling linux desktops ro the general non-techie public. I think both Ubuntu and Mandriva have come a long way, and I'm taking a leap by going with Mandriva in an OEM deal. A PNG of the image I came up with is at: http://www.justworksnh.com/justworks_linux_1_x_.625_.png and my original plan was to plaster these stickers everywhere the "Works with Vista" stickers would go... In other words on every piece of hardware I sell. Other text possibilities might be: "Compatible with LINUX" "Works with LINUX" "Made for LINUX" "Powered by LINUX" ...etc. If you like, I can do the run for my company and a separate one that is more general. Any preferences on the text? Brian ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: Linux Stickers
I did come googling, and nothing really popped out at me. The Linux Journal make some "Linux is cool" stickers long ago, but they have not done that for a while. Thinkgeek has stickers, but most of them are very large and expensive. In the spirit of Linux you could make your own At the site: http://users.jyu.fi/~juhtolv/linux-sticker/ They have examples of stickers. While most of the stickers are in Applixware format (a prime example of why ODF is needed), there is a page of them in Postscript format: linux3x8.ps.bz2 You could use them as a sample, create the master with some word processor and a simple Tux figure, duplicate it some number of times on a sheet of paper, print them off on paper-backed glossy print gummy label paper and cut them to size. Or you can create the design, then go to a print shop to have them print it and cut them up for you. Here is an article about using a foil material: http://people.debian.org/%7Eseppy/foilstickers/ available at print shops. Once you do it one time you could probably just call them up and order more without going to the shop.

Linux Stickers
Does anyone know of a good source for various Linux stickers/decals? I'm looking for anything small, like those "Made for Windows" or "Works with Vista" stickers in quantity. I know Ubuntu stickers are around, but I am looking for something not specific to any distribution. Any ideas?
