I have been thinking about the booth at the joint meetings, and what sort of merchandise we should have/give away/sell. I think the top priority is to have dvds on hand so that people can easily install and try out sage.
So I am wondering what should be on a dvd. I helped burn some last year but I didn't keep the image around. I am thinking it should have: 1) binaries for macs and linux - is it worth having ppc binaries? 2) source code 3) vmware player - is that OK to include legally? 4) vmware image 5) Extra documentation - ? I.e. python documentation or sage-related math texts. I am planning on printing off some tutorials and Sage Constructions, maybe a couple of programming guides but not the reference manual (that was impressive last time but might not be worth the cost). Is there any reason to wait for sage-3.3 to do this? Otherwise, to make sure they are made on time I would like to do it this weekend. I am also thinking of making some Sage mugs and tee-shirts on cafepress or some other similar website. Then I will order a small number of these as prizes for a lottery drawing or simple contest. We can keep some examples at the booth and anyone who wants one can order their own online. I will post again soliciting designs. I thought it might also be nice to make Sage business cards, that list the main page URL, the google-groups addresses, the IRC channel, the lulu.com documentation link, and the mug & t-shirt cafepress links. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated. -Marshall Hampton --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
