IT was discussed and two reasons dominated. a) Promotion material for the fun of it. Cheap giveaways, like Wilber stickers you can give away at local meets for fans to show their love for gimp. It boosts the fun index of the project sky high. Heck, I wish *I* had some to stick on my laptop lid. When I finally get a decent printer I might print some paper ones but... Real stuff would be way cooler. b) Something a little bit better as a token of appreciation. Google gives the GSOC students shirts... It would be rally nice if we could give them a nice little mug with Wilber on or something. And If someone wants to buy the items, that should ye,s be an option too but it wasn't really the aim. > You are certainly not doing this for the money, are you?

Im speaking for myself here I guess, but Id like to have something to show off what I do as a hobby ... and spread the Wilber love around. -- Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
