It shouldn't be a secret that I'm in favor of this. For the last few
DebConfs, we've had some sort of "drinking vessel" even if it was a
necessity due to the conference logistics.
I've quoted out a few different kind of bottles (some just for water, some
that are hot/cold, so can also be used for coffee), and am confident that we
can get nice-branded drinking vessels for ~$5 each, plus some cost due to
expedited shipping (not gonna break the bank). Here's the deal...
WE NEED TO DECIDE NOW. The bottles need to be ordered *Monday* to make sure
they're produced, shipped and signed for before the start of the conference
in a week.
If we don't have consensus/approval/support by 8am PDT Monday morning, the
default is that we're not getting bottles, because we won't be able to.
Cheers!
Patty
- As Steve said, they would be branded with the Debian logo, not DC14.
