lol! just felt that whip cracking my 4ss... that hurt. I love the idea of this stick - and I don't doubt anyone thinks it is a bad idea.
I popped the question to our council members (love playing with that whip too) ;) ... so I hope to get some feedback from the others too. Otoh, this is buying something that can take a big bite out of the Ubuntu-be budget. If we want to do this, we'd better do it right (= well organized). Starting a vzw isn't going to happen yet... at least the first few months (maybe a year), we'll see what direction we grow. But if this idea is sustainable (organized from the base), I think we can make this happen. So it's up to y'all to organize this one: - what has to happen? - decide on specs & form factor - compare prices/qualities - choose/design imprint for stick - find sponsor? - how to merchandise it (site? only Dipro?...) - actually "fill" the sticks - follow up on orders, stock, etc... - do the payment - (please complete list) ... - who will do it? - if this item remains empty, no need in thinking further - questions to clear out - won't this be competition on Dipro? (competition with other people selling sticks) So, to say it with Marx: "Ubuntero's of all countries, Unity!" (erh.. I mean unite!)
