[ubuntu-za] ubuntu-za Digest, Vol 20, Issue 19

Tue May 22 14:11:10 BST 2007

I could always put my cute self in a tee and take a pic :-)

I will take a pic if you really need it - the white tees are a good quality
and have Richards logo on it - they are free!!
We could only sponsor 50, but if people want more we can take orders and do
it at cost which is about R80.  The template for the logo is ready done so
thats a bonus (A min. run is 50 t-shirts)
