yaa.Although thanks to Matthew Butterick we have a logo that doesn't
look quite so much like the pepsi logo any more. ^.^ (Also since pepsi is
in a completely different domain I think that would make things more tricky
too...)

Also, ya, I think you're right Neil.

Hi,

that's a great idea. I'd like to order some at a local supplier for
distributing them in Germany/Europe.

Are there any legal issues to consider? (I did not find anything in the
documentation.)

Kind regards,
Daniel

[racket-users] Stickers!

2017-01-24 Thread Ben Greenman
Hi Racket Users,

I ordered a bunch of Racket stickers to celebrate the 6.8 release. Here's
proof:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/types/resources/stickers.jpg

If you send me your address, I will mail you some stickers. For free!*

I'm thinking 4 stickers per request (2 rectangles, 2 circles), but if you
live outside the US and promise to serve as a "volunteer regional sticker
distributor" then I'll send more.**

Peace, Love, and Racket,
Ben


* While supplies last. And if you want un-free stickers, you can make your
own on stickermule.com or send a donation to RacketCon 2017.

** While supplies last, and subject to the internal dimensions of the
cheapest padded envelope at my local US post office.
