Achim: Thanks again for the conference. We had good fun. I have 2 requests: 1) I'd like to email my R-foundation membership to you. I will scan the form and send just like I did for the meeting. 2) I want a useR t-shirt. After lots of drinking and discussion with Fritz Leisch at dinner on saturday, I feel there will be no chance for an official T-shirt. My question is: any advice/ thoughts on how there can be T-shirts for the conference? Chad
Chad, Do not forget that, due to the contaminant character of the GPL license, if you put a R logo on a t-shirt, you have to share and distribute it freely to the community,... and do not forget to distribute the source with it ;-) Best, Philippe Grosjean -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch]On Behalf Of Chad Shaw Sent: Tuesday, 25 May, 2004 19:52 To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] thanks again Achim: Thanks again for the conference.

In general, I would agree with you that it would be nice (and not only for fun) to have shirts (and coffee mugs and basecaps and ...) with R logos or maybe useR! logos. This has been discussed now and then and if I recall it correctly the reason that nobody actually started doing it is that you would have to spend some time setting it up - and most people prefer writing R code instead of mailing R shirts around the world. Time was the main reason for me not do organize shirts for the useR! - there were so many other things to do and prepare. Another point which always kept me from thinking about something like this more seriously is the poor quality of the R logo. But John Fox mentioned in a discussion that instead of some R user doing the work, maybe there are T-shirt mailorders around which could do most of the work. So maybe I will have the time to look at this. Best wishes from Vienna, Achim
