<p class="MsoNormal">I would suggest if we do shirts now that we just do them for Conference Committee folks (with a commitment to help at the booth). I think these would end up being a bit different than what we would give out at FOSS4GNA as we'd want to have
the dates/url on them for promotional purposes. Maybe a couple extra to give out in the overall door prizes?<o:p></o:p></p>

Could we get it on at least buttons, if not t-shirts? if we do t-shirts at the meeting I'm not sure about doing them now?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Bob,<br>
<br>
That's a great idea about t-shirts. My experience with FOSS4G is that<br>
attendees really love these shirts, but local committees leave this to<br>
the last minute (some have even wanted to charge attendees for them,<br>
until I scream foul ha). I am happy that you are already thinking of<br>
this now.<br>
<br>
Speaking of that (and thinking of the FOSS4GNA logo on the t-shirt),<br>
what is the FOSS4GNA logo? (logos for FOSS4G always have a small part<br>
of the original 'ribbon' - notice the ribbon in all of the logos at<br>
<a href="http://www.foss4g.org" target="_blank">www.foss4g.org</a>)<br>
