Heya, so I have a bunch of iSummit dvds that include much CC content and
whatnot...I have around 200 of these...there is one disc with video
content like elephants dream (which is silkscreened) and then one with
other cc-licensed audio.

We have the master discs, and could easily order more with some
re-branding with that funding...they are ready to go...

I will bring what is left from the icommons.org iSummit DVDs, but think
it might be wise if there is money set aside, to print more of these
with some even more generic re-branding...

I will also bring much much free goodies from Creative Commons:
stickers, t-shirts, more stickers from inkscape and open clip art
library, etc. What numbers should we expect?

Also, where should I get these things mailed for the conference? I need
to get on sending these out soon.
