Hi,

Actually towel is on our stretch goal of DebConf18 if we have more sponsors.

Still not late though. We already contacted companies for towel.

I do not really want to insist but by pure chance I could probably carry
back 10kg (no idea how many towels that might be).  I'll drop in at
my Vietnamese daughter before DebConf.  She is pregnant and I'll bring
a lot of stuff what grandfathers bring.  I was just wondering what to
do with my empty trunk on my way back ... :-) 

Just in case that might be an extra data point for a decision that
might be open.

Kind regards

   Andreas.

AFAIR the minimum quantities killed it this time around. With typical
minimum orders of around a 1000 to keep it somewhat cost-efficient,
that's a lot of extra (space-taking) towels for someone to lug back
somewhere after DebConf.

Congratulations to "Towel day" (Was: Towels for DebConf 18)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi folks,

today is "Towel day"[1]! Yeah!

I wonder how the idea to have Debian towels for DebConf progressed.  I
admit I did not followed up but I remain on thinking that this is a
really cool idea.  I have not much time but if it needs some more hand
to realise this I try to do my best.

Kind regards

  Andreas.

Towels for DebConf 18

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Andrew,

when discussing with Tiago an old idea I had for DebConf 9 in
Extremadura came up again.  Since it is supposed to be that hot
we shoud produce Debian towels saying:

  Don't panic
Debian

Once Bubulle wanted to made this by Debian France but it turned out
too expensive.  I would really like to take three of these if you could
realise this idea for DebConf 18. :-)

Kind regards

   Andreas.
