Oh, I have no need to, in fact I jumped at a KAM's critical error in understanding what the computer profession was (the use of the inhuman 'what' is deliberate), and avoid him making such a bracelet unless he understands the implication. In ribbon culture, if you want to share it, you order and have printed on whatever color whatever text you want to share, and exchange them. Personal expression, not an organizational statement. My print of "Hack Like a Girl" ribbons will be shared by the young 'un, whom at 6 is finishing construction of her 3d printed RC plane (with some grown-up help.) So that would be our family choice, these would not be paid for by an organization, any more than a ribbon she might get in return about whatever maker or gaming or fiction-related meme. E.g. I'd encourage the foundation to consider doing bracelets or ribbons or stickers or whatever promoting projects. I'd encourage individuals to print whatever bracelet / ribbon / sticker floats their boat and exchange them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
