Re: Shipping Debian merch/goodies to India
Please note that this is also a good occasion for bid Debconf committee to setup a group of people, start organising thing together, and also start to think all financial issues that we have on paying and selling stuffs. This is an important first step. (remember that talk is cheap and organising is very time expensive: these are the two most important discoveries on Debconf organising). ciao Cate (and sorry for the top reply).

If needed will have to dig through my mail/bookmarks etc. I do have that info. somewhere although Praveen and somebody else whose name I have forgotten at the moment had shared they got the material and the printing done at the same place. The only reason I say this is that all the T-shirts that Praveen got printed I used till years till they got frayed and torn but most of them went around 3-4 years and were cheap. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8

We can print out some local Debian swags. I'll try to do that when I get back from DebConf. I would be bringing some Debian stickers along with me. And we would print some more stickers. People can take the swags from me when they meet me. Or they can ask me directly to get it shipped to them. > > -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
Re: Shipping Debian merch/goodies to India
@Gunnar, well said. It's great to know that you've been a long-time contributor. We could print some swag for GSoC students and contributors around Chennai, India. Where can I find some high resolution debian designs ? (I did manage to find a good-enough logo though) To the people who're interested, I did a bit of research. Found this site : https://inkmonk.com/ T-Shirts - $5 Hoodies - $9 Laptop Sleeve - $12 Let me know if you'd like to get something printed.

If you are in Mumbai or Pune city, I am sure many engineering students have the Debian stickers printed during recent mini Debconf's. As per my previous experiences, sometime we never receive the merchandise/swags/stickers sent from abroad if sent by non tracking postal service. If sent by tracked courier/postal service, we need to pay custom duty depending on declared amount. If we calculate the custom duty + shipping charges, it is equal to printing 4 t-shirts locally with Debian logo. :-) Regards, Amey. > > On Sat, Aug 4, 2018 at 6:20 PM, Kartik Kulkarni > wrote: >> >> Even I am interested, I stay in Bangalore though. >> >> >> On Sat, Aug 4, 2018, 6:17 PM Chris Lamb wrote: >>> >>> Dear Vishal, >>> >>> > I'm a GSoC student from India and I'd really like some Debian/Debconf >>> > stickers and T-shirts.

Re: Shipping Debian merch/goodies to India
Hmm seems like a good idea, Thanks! Regards, Kartik Kulkarni
Re: Shipping Debian merch/goodies to India
Oh I am not a GSoC student either...I wasn't being clear in my previous email so I wanted to clear the misunderstanding. And would we be able to get those goodies if we arrange for prepaid shipping from any place in India? Also if someone from Bangalore has attended the debconf and was willing to get it I would personally head anywhere near Bangalore to collect it. Regards, Kartik Kulkarni
