[Sig2006] Budget status

[Gert Svensson]

Hi,

no I don't think uni-verse will hand out any T-shirt of our own.

An alternative use of the money could be some more marketing of the open 
source pavilion.
How much would it be to buy emails to preregistred visitors?
We could send out some invitation so that people really comes to the booth.

To improve the marketing value of the Uni-Verse T-shirt I wonder if we 
are allowed to add some more text:
"Uni-Verse, Connecting 3D Applications" ?

 I will discuss with the others in the team if we could use 75 shirts 
and come back to you.

Best Regards
Gert
