Your ticket is hella relevant FIRST, imo 01:27:30 Going to a couple if hackathons 01:27:35 +1 01:27:41 Of** 01:27:54 So I requested some swag 01:28:10 Most users there use Linux already 01:28:32 But apparently, Fedora swag is hard to find 01:28:39 cydrobolt did your swag request for east coast, or mid 01:28:44 East 01:29:38 Ben just started with classes, so I KNOW he is busy now- when are your events? 01:30:08 kk4ewt will get you some if he has some, but I can also pull from nb in the mid region, I will get ahold of kk4ewt and let him know what is going on, and if he does not have any nb should be able to supply some... 01:30:11 So I think allowing existing fedora users to help spread it themselves is the best way to promote fedora at the hackathon 01:30:15 hi 01:30:27 Any thoughts? 01:30:31 evening nb 01:30:36 Hi nb 01:30:59 through stickers etc ** 01:31:04 cydrobolt, I have a few stickers, and very little media, but can mail you some stickers 01:31:08 Ok 01:31:12 email me your address 01:31:18 OK, will so 01:31:21 nb, do you have any swag 01:31:35 But maybe you guys have more interesting ideas 01:32:06 Media is great.
