Re: Annual gift Friends Of Gnome (Please reply asap)

[Joey Ferwerda <joeyferweda gmail com>]

@Calum: The problem is that there are strict guidelines for 3D printing, so this was the only good option to include the letters, also I got a lot of good reactions on the design itself, and I love to include the "GNOME" in it.
Also the text on the border will be changed to Friends of GNOME on printing.

@Paul: The idea was indeed to offer this as little extra to boost subscriptions and extending of subscriptions every year.
Although raising the number might not be a bad idea.

Regarding the sending of the statues, If everything is a go, I want to contact Shapeways to see if we can make a company deal, so they will ship them to the people, if we provide them with a list (would be the best thing to do per 10 or per 20 subscriptions).

I would suggest raising to 200 a year, but not more, since the "limited edition" status would not make a big impact.

If this is a go, I can contact Shapeways to see what is possible.
Also who do I need to contact regarding the financial stuff?

Thanks for the quick reply's

Joey

Not discrimination but a way to make it a "hot" offer... maybe
increase the number then to a higher number than 100
