distributing Fedora-sponsored magazines - what's the plan?

[Zacharias Mitzelos]

I would propose to distribute them the same way we distributed the 
Fedora 10 years anniversary T-Shirt to contributors. A person collected 
the addresses of the contributors (in this case the event organizers) 
and then forwarded the addresses to the office that was handling the 
shipping. We could ship a large quantity (if this eliminates some costs) 
to the Brno Red Hat office, so the Brno office can handle the shipping 
to EMEA countries.

That way we could ensure that even smaller events could get some 
samples, instead of shipping only to large events.

Thoughts or further comments?

Zacharias
