[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] swag survey

Mon Aug 26 09:19:12 EDT 2013

Rogan,

I was looking around and took another look at CustomInk because of the
comments about bulk buying.  As I was looking, I found that they have
actually set something up specifically for fundraising.  It made me think
that we may consider doing a monthly t-shirt design for continued
fundraising.  I know this has little to do with the conference or a
dedicated online store (although I'm sure it could be integrated), but it
might be fun and interesting to do some one off, limited edition t-shirt
designs similar to TeeFury or TeeVolt.  Just an idea.  This might also be a
way to get more of the IRC quotes out there.

>>  WOOF!   So, if we filled out the survey once, can we do it again?!
