[Kde-events] RE: [kde-promo] logo 4 poloshirts

[Eva Brucherseifer]

As already stated before, www.kernelconcepts is willing to work together with 
us on this here. They take the financial risk, do the shiping for us (within 
Europe) and KDE gets some of the benefit. We already did this successfully 
with the KDE pins. Kernelconcepts needs about 5 weeks to get T-Shirts ready, 
don't know if that is enough. Please email me in private to get the email of 
Petra who is our contact person.
As for the developer T-shirts, I don't think KDE has enough money to sponsor 
T-Shirts for all developers. We should give them away for the same price we 
sell to the manufacturer, but more reduction is IMHO not possible.

Greetings,
eva
