I would propose to distribute them the same way we distributed the
Fedora 10 years anniversary T-Shirt to contributors. A person collected
the addresses of the contributors (in this case the event organizers)
and then forwarded the addresses to the office that was handling the
shipping. We could ship a large quantity (if this eliminates some costs)
to the Brno Red Hat office, so the Brno office can handle the shipping
to EMEA countries.
That way we could ensure that even smaller events could get some
samples, instead of shipping only to large events.
Thoughts or further comments?

I'll be there on a press pass and will help at the RH booth some.

One solution would be to ship them to a few key, very large events.
According to the Events, page there are two very large events coming
up in October:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events#FY15_Q3_.28Sept_2014_-_Nov_2014.29
Grace Hopper Celebration - October 8-11
(Ambassador seems to be "User:open" -- Not sure if this means no
one's covering, or someone with username "open" is.) :-)
Ohio Linux Fest - October 24-26
(Ambassador contact: Andrew Ward)
Between them, probably 3-5K attendees. There's no further calendar
entries, but I imagine there might be at least one more large event in
Q4 to which to ship?

I will say that the magazines are HEAVY and I think they arrived on a
pallet (not individual boxes), so shipping to a location and then to other
locations could get spendy.

Since Rikki's on the OSAS team, I think we can safely assume OSAS
wants the Fedora community to make a plan here. ;-)
What about working with key regional coordinators on the Ambassadors
team, so Rikki (or someone) would only have to ship these to a few
places for wider distribution?

I did not know these even existed, I am sure we can get them to our
NA ambassadors very easy. Is OSAS planning to do anything with them,
or are they for us to give to ambassadors. I don't want to start
figuring out what to do with them, if they are for OSAS.

Greetings,
Do we have a plan in place to make sure the 2k Fedora-sponsored
print magazines (w/Fedora 20 DVD) in the Raleigh office are
distributed to Fedora booths? If not...what's the plan to make the
plan?
