More store stuff: |

|
| 3 |
If someone contacts you and wants to resell any products in the store, have |
| 4 |
them contact me. I'm willing to sell larger quantities of things at a |
| 5 |
discount. |

*For trade shows* -- I'd also like to help in this area. Let me know in |
| 8 |
advance, ideally more than a month in advance. Getting shirts for the show |
| 9 |
for cost + shipping should generally not be a problem ever, providing we |
| 10 |
have enough stock on hand. You could re-sell these shirts at the show, or |
| 11 |
give them to developers and users volunteering at the booth. I can also |
| 12 |
throw in some free stuff, as long as it's not excessive. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you're in a pinch and need of a lot of free stuff, we could dip into the |
| 15 |
"$x for the foundation" store money as well. Or, if the store is doing well |
| 16 |
in a particular month, the free stuff could be part of the store's |
| 17 |
contribution to the foundation's efforts. Or some combination thereof. If |
| 18 |
you ask, I will let you know what we can reasonably do to help. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Custom shirts are also do-able if you give me enough notice. They will |
| 21 |
generally be easier for me to get ordered for you since I already have |
| 22 |
screen-printed graphics and embroidery patterns on file at a t-shirt shop. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Note that we are out of stock of our black polo shirts right now, so if |
| 25 |
you'd want some for a show then letting me know a month in advance would be |
| 26 |
best to ensure that I can get them in time. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I prefer not to give free CDs for shows anymore, since I don't think many |
| 29 |
people who get the CDs actually use them and thus IMO they are a waste of |
| 30 |
money. But that's just my personal opinion. If you want to have some CDs or |
| 31 |
DVDs at a show, to give away or to sell to raise funds for the foundation, |
| 32 |
let me know and I will see what I can do. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
One thing that might be nice for a trade show -- case badges. You could hand |
| 35 |
them out to devs who are volunteering at the booth, put them on machines at |
| 36 |
the show, and maybe hand some out or give them as a "thank you" for |
| 37 |
donations, or sell them. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
The main point -- when there is a trade show coming up, please talk to me |
| 40 |
and let me know what you'd like to do, and I will try my best to help. |
