[CoLoCo] get on the CoLoCo shirt wiki asap!

[Jim Hutchinson]

Two days before I need to submit something we finally get some discussion.
Well, better late than never.

I'm still wondering if we want to silk screen anything on the back of a polo
shirt. I kind of think it will look tacky.

As for color and such, they will do whatever we want but I think the price
breaks apply to each style. So if only 5 people order brown then it might be
more expensive than the 12 people who order black. Same with pocket T vs.
polo.

If anyone is adamant about more choices then feel free to add a column on
the wiki for your preferences.

Regarding the slogan, a lot of good points made. The question is, are the
shirts for us to wear when proselytizing Ubuntu or to were when we hang out
and geek it up? I guess the same shirt could do both but for geeking it up I
want something more funny.

Maybe we need our professional Ubuntu shirts with stitched logo and a our
tshirt with silk screened slogan.

Whatever we do someone needs to make a decision soon. If I'm making the
decision I'm going to go for a polo shirt with logo and no slogan. I'll also
order a silk screen tshirt if there is interest.

As for the CoLoCo logo, do we have anything of a higher resolution? It may
not matter but just in case.

SFD is up in the air at the moment. I have a request into Carl at System 76
to see if he can swing the permit. Since they are sponsoring it will end up
in their lap sooner or later so I'm checking to see if they can pull it off.
If not, SFD is probably not going to happen. At least not with an official (
i.e. with permit) booth. We can still show in our matching shirts and pass
out CDs like some techie Hare Krishnas.
