Yes, I think we can set up a "basic" sage shop and have a variety of stuff available. I've only ever ordered individual things so I am not sure what is involved, but I will try to do it after I get the order in. -Marshall On Dec 15, 12:01 pm, daveloeffler wrote: > On Dec 15, 4:12 pm, mhampton

That looks good to me (of course I'm biased in favor of the geodesic diagram) - the only thing I think is worth adding is the main sage url. We can also put something on the back for the same price (I think) and I'm not sure what that should be. By the way, can the mugs and t-shirts be shipped t

I have tweaked things a little because I don't have time to get a proof copy, and I think the thin black lines I was using might cause problems if cropped incorrectly. So the one I will print has a heavier black edge, which can be cropped a little without messing it up: http://sage.math.washingt

I preferred having the three links (with support), but this is nice anyway. For the mug, does 1662 pixels mean the picture loops around the mug or does it only cover the front or something like that? Ronan Em Sáb, 2008-12-13 às 20:46 -0800, mhampton escreveu: > OK, version four is up at: > > h

Ah, that's another question for debate. My inclination is to set it up on cafepress at the lowest possible price, so that none of the money would go to Sage but we would get the maximum volume out (in a supply and demand sense). The point of that is the free advertising is probably worth more th

FWIW, I like the bcard3 better, and perhaps dropping the support info. The place to try online is a must, I agree. Would it make sense to substitute one of the graphics with the "official" .png thing on the main website etc? But it's nice to have something a little different, love the hyperboli

I also prefer the second one. As a business card it's a bit more cluttered, but I think it's useful for people to try online before downloading hundreds of megabytes. At least this way it's explicit that they have that option. Ronan Em Sáb, 2008-12-13 às 06:47 -0800, mhampton escreveu: > > One
