Hi Shane,
2007/8/31, Shane Ambler <pgsql@sheeky.biz>: Maybe - though some may want to get the last of the "SQL" t-shirts as a
collectible thing - a part of history
Mhh ... it's not just shirts.
The real question here would be what quantities do people have of these
products/pamphlets on hand? I have the impression that most gear is made
up to get ready for a conference/show with no huge leftover budgeted for.
As far as PGDay, that's not the case. Together with most of the European users and the International group we organised the production of 600 t-shirts to reduce the unitary costs. 200 shirts are for the International group, some of them have been sold during PGDay 2007 (I do not have the exact quantity right now). The quantity was intentionally high in order to be used in the forthcoming OSS events in Europe. It's been an initial investment that still has to pay up.
But it is not just a matter of t-shirts or pens, as I said. Rather of communication and promotion. We organised the first flyer that promotes PostgreSQL in Italian that at least will be used for the next year's activities.
A rough estimate from those holding stock??
In terms of Euro we are talking about roughly 3-4 thousand (expenses).
Ciao,
Gabriele
