[Ubuntu-ch] Ubuntu free beer newsletter :)

[Pascal Mages]

Hi Patrick, dear all

The info in the email is correct but I added some additional comments 
(see below). I also added some info regarding label prices.

I would be very happy if we could find a solution for Ubuntu FreeBeer
that works for all of us.

And if you have any questions regarding FreeBeer, do not hesitate to 
contact me.

BTW: I'm looking for distribution partners all over Switzerland. If you
are interested drop me a line.

Thanks
Pascal

P.S. Ubuntu rocks! But Kubuntu rocks even more ;-)

There is about Fr. 200.- to be added on the first order because of the
preparation of the label files for printing. This is if the labels come 
in a printable fashion. If corrections are necessary, this will have to 
be charged additionally.

The beer is good for three months from bottling. The Ubuntu FreeBeer
will be taken from a regular FreeBeer brew.

This is OK for the beginning and smaller quantities (as discussed). On 
the long run I would have to ask the current sponsor if he is OK with 
that. But as some already mentioned, it's not option ment to last anyway.

Here the prices of the label sets (front, back and neck) we use for the 
regular FreeBeer (as for all other Beers made by Wädi-Bräu). 3'000 
Labels cost around Fr. 820.-. You would have to add the Fr. 200.- 
mentioned above for the first order of labels. Smaller quantities are 
possible but they are not that much cheaper as there is a large economy 
of scale in printing. If you want I can get you a quote for 600 label sets.
If you plan to get labeled Unbuntu FreeBeer bottles from us someday, I 
highly recommend to order the labels from us. That's the only way we can 
guarantee that the labels and the bottling machine work together well.
