Hi all. We are organizing the FrOSCamp (http://froscamp.org) which will happen in early September on the premises of the ETH Zurich. It would be great if we could have a GNOME booth there, and maybe some talks about 3.0. There is also space for possible hackfests:

Hi Brian, I like it. I could even imagine you could use that concept with other organizations too. What's the plan for distributing it? Stormy On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 7:59 PM, Brian Cameron brian.came...@oracle.comwrote: GNOME Marketing Team: On April 6th, I proposed a GNOME Free Agent

Bryen: On another thought, could the mono-color design be reversed as a second option? Or would that drive costs up? Personally, I'm not much of a white t-shirt kind of guy, and I'm more likely to purchase a dark t-shirt. Which would also make the shirt a11y as we're supposed to wear dark

Bryen: Well, we can certainly fix it up more to encompass what you are suggesting. And that suggested text was just a first thought. But I would think that whether it stays in the original text or some modified text, the reader would still be more inclined to stop and ask what thats about.

Diego: How much expensive? OTOH a single color is also good and we can always have non white t-shirts with a good matching color. I don't know. I plan to ask Dongyun for a color version of the image just so we can have it handy if we want to do full-color. The message might be a bit too
