I'm trying to get a wish list together for the promo team. Here is what I have so far :

The needed money to buy all those items :-)

I want us to stop asking people for donations / money at the promo events and am trying to get someone to sponsor this stuff. There is a slim chance that it might come through ( perhaps not the TV's etc - but the basic stuff might ).

I'll add a Roll-up (see my previous mail about that) .. unfortunately, no 'official' answer (yet) for that request ...

Wasn't Didi going to ask around his local shop for slogan suggestions :)

They said about 80 Euros for a "classic" one with bag. But I found one online [1] for 69,00 €

Hey, i didn't know that one could buy a slogan in 'classic' form for that price .. :-p

Cheers Didi

I don't know if there are hidden costs but otherwise that seems a very good price ! Time to ask the centos-promo leader "ack" to order one and see if we can have it for Fosdem 2011 ! :-)

There is no such thing :) I have the money if that somehow helps.

I guess it would make sense to find out about costs / delivery details - but is there a design in mind at this point ?

I'll poke around to ask for slogans.

Some more, in suggestions from people:

• mousepad's : do people still use those ?+

no

• Pen's : if we can get moderately decent quality ones

yes, I guess pens would be nice.

I guess the aim is to find stuff that would persist with people, be visible and still be of some utility.

t-shirts !!!!!!!!!!!!!

But with a preprinted side (fill out the blanks for $arch and $release).

Those are asked for, but hard to transport if nobody is there by car.

• Beer Mugs

Same here.

...

Hmmmm. Heavy. Expensive. Too much for a giveaway.

...

• messenger / backpack bag's

Same here. Totes would be great, though.

I guess so. There are great *very* thin ones, I had two Mandriva pads of those (before they were called Mandriva, but the original name slips my mind right now and I am lazy).

• Pen's : if we can get moderately decent quality ones

Less apostrophes would be great. http://www.angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif

=:)

But otherwise pens are great (maybe pencils).

I am against lan yards, but would like to have more of those fridge magnets.

Frisbees. Not the real ones, but those should be available with print somewhere. Loads of office fun. http://test.actpro.de/showroom/product_info.php?info=p71237_Frisbee-Scheibe-...
