[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fedora Stuff at Red Hat Cool Stuff Store
by Thomas Canniot 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

Hello everybody, First I would like to say that this mail is not -from my point of view- out this list because it concerns the feedbacks of fedora users (at least French users), and it is part of Ambassador's job to report feddbacks. :) Fedora Stuff had been announced as available on RH Cool Stuff Store. We, the French Community, were very eager to have the cool stuffs available. We were very impatient and I did my best to calm down some French people from taking the logo and making our *own* French Fedora T-shirt and goodies, that wouldn't help supporting RH/ the distro. Then we waited. And we finally got them! Great news! Thanks everybody, I personaly find the t-shirts and the caps look great! I wanted to order a shirt, and found *by surprise* that shipping costs were 3.5 more expensive than the t-shirts itself (53$ shipping for a 15$ t-shirt)! Many people are complaining, because we feel it as unfair, and because other shops can make more than better shipping costs! Where is the problem? Is there something wrong?

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] alias e-mail is pointing to an older email address
by Frederic Hornain 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Dear *, I know I was not be on the mailling list for quite long time but I am always be active as Belgian Ambassador. Well, the fact is I had to change my email address to the Fedora Account System due to specific policies. That is what I did. So I went to my Fedora Account system and then I change the value of the email address box to a new one. However, at the contrary of what it is written on the following URL " http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EmailAliases?action=show&redirect=Ambassadors… " which is "Your aliases will forward to whatever email address you have registered in the Account System. If ever you need to change the address your mail forwards to, that is the place to do it.". It seems that my alias does not point to the correct address even if I changed it in Fedora Account System. Maybe, someone in this mailling list could help me resovle this little problem. Thanks in advance. Best Regards Fred

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Cost of producing Fedora stuff
by Pawel Sadowski 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Hi, I want to ask one question. I am planning to prepare something about 200 T-shirts and the same amount of Fedora DVDs for the future events (LinuxWorld was postponed and as I know will be propably on autumn). More-less in the same time, there will be few events in Poland - Fedora Open Days, LinuxWorld as I mentioned and a Red Hat conference - maybe it will be possible to place Fedora booth there, so I will need swag. I can order it from the US, but I think it would be cheaper if I produced it locally (one Fedora T-shirt at Red Hat Cool Stuff Store is $15, while cost of one T-shirt in Poland would be about $6). As I mentioned in my previous e-mail - it is too large amount for me to pay for 200 T-shirt by myself. What can I do in this situation? If it comes about the shipping cost from the US, I could do something what nman-64 suggested (shipping it to someone in the US, who could forward it to me - I hae already tried with Red Hat Cool Stuff, but resigned temporaily, I will do it in future), but these costs of one T-shirt... I think best idea will be to produce it locally, but I have to know how is the design on T-shirts printed, I mean in what technology. Is it embroidered or just printed? I would like the T-shirts as beautiful as you have them in your store :) I will buy some stuff from the Red Hat Cool Stuff store either way (I want few things fromt there ;)), so I could also order Fedora T- shirts, DVDs and maybe cups, but if it would be cheaper locally then I don't know what to do :> Give me some advice, please. I will be very grateful :) Best regards, Pawel Sadowski
