Re: mod_perl bof Oreilly Conference TShirts
Apparently last year the quantity was 150 for US$10/shirt. This was a 2 color shirt. So the damage was US$1500. However, there are two factors that may lower the cost. One, perhaps not as many shirts have to produced because the conference attendence may be lower this year than last year (although I think the more TShirts the better!) ... So I'd rather this not be the case. And two, Randal has generously proposed using a contact of us that may be able to produce similar or better quality for as low as US$5/shirt. Of course, so that I do not raise expectations falsely, I will add that this may depend on quantity and it remains to be made into a concrete negotiation with the supplier for these additional shirts. So if the cost actually did go down to half, the cost for 150 shirts would be US$750. Merely the cost of Windows 2000 Enterprise Edition. If a corporation out there can spend money on a proprietary operating system, surely they can help sponsor a rag-tag bunch of misfits on a mission to save the Earth... oh, sorry, got carried away while watching the SciFi channel...

Gunther, I am a web designer and I have a friend who is a graphics designer (commercial artist who happens to specialize in designs to be screen printed). We'd like to volunteer to help out with the T-shirt design. We'd be pretty happy with some fairly obvious recognition in exchange.
