HI Ben
Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry you found the
T-shirt thing shameless.
But it was fun for us and the people who brought
their shirts. Even Tim brought several of his classics
including this one from an early OSCON:

One thing we've noticed over the years is that we always see many of
our T-shirts, conference bags, or other vintage O'Reilly giveaways at
our shows.
All we did this year was document them.

Howdy, does anyone have any info about OSCamp?? It has been the best
FREE part of OSCON for years now,
and I'd just love to see a little plug about it.
My other gripe is that the T-shirt thing is pretty shameless as far as
self-promotion goes. Why not have mini code projects that are useful
to the community?
Something positive to be shared and given back? IMNSHO, I find that
wearing t-shirts is pretty far down on the list of things that geeks
ROCK at doing :)
It'll be a great conference though, and I'd enjoy the whole of it if
it were free or easier to afford for those of us who are not busily
maximizing the income.
thanks much,
Ben

Hi
Are you attending OSCON in Portland this year? Let me know. I'll be
hanging around the sessions and our expo hall booth.
Can you pass this note along to your members who are going to OSCON?
Got any old O'Reilly shirts at home? If so, bring them to OSCON!
Be one
of the first 50 people to come by the O'Reilly booth (#313)
wearing one of
our t-shirts to win cool prizes and be included in our t-shirt photo
collage. The grand prize goes to the person who has more O'Reilly
shirts
than everyone else, so bring 'em all!
Follow the O'Reilly booth on Twitter during the conference:
http://twitter.com/oreillyatoscon for your chance to win prizes
during
the show.
You can also follow http://twitter.com/oscon for ongoing conference
updates throughout the show.
Thanks for your help,
Marsee
