[Sig2006] T-shirts (was Budget status)

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Having people walking around in our official booth shirt on Siggraph is  
of course of great advertisement value.

My idea was to give most of them already sunday, to the visitors of the  
Blender BOF. With as only requirement that they'll wear it, of course.  
:)
Uni-Verse can do the same for their BoF. And take like 15 shirts home  
or so, for future events?

The booth crew gets a friendly message to wear the shirt on the show.  
Each person can get two shirts though.

Next to that, the permanent demo crew can have the remaining shirts  
under the desk, and just give it to people you like to have one.

What about this total then:
Uni-verse 50
GNOME 75
Blender 125
--------------
total 250, is about 1600 USD max.

Maybe I'll print more Blender shirts, but that BF then can pay out of  
own budget.
