Conference call on June 5th, 2005.

Agenda

T-shirts for Defcon

What has to be done in order to have t-shirts ready in time for Defcon? (July 29)

• Design
  • Ask people you know
  • Should we do an open call for entries on the blog?
• Printing
  • where does the money come from? will we have the AU grant in time?
• Shipping? (presumably Elizabeth would use a local printer, so that she doesn't have to wait for shipping)

Other Defcon stuff

What other stuff do we need to do for Defcon?

• I heard we have to submit some sort of paper?
• We should have the usual collection of stuff from CC, EFF, PK if any of those organizations are not going to be there. I understand that EFF will be, but I doubt CC or PK are.
• We should have our own pamphlets. Speaking of which, our pamphlets need updating...
• Maybe the people going to Defcon can discuss this among themselves, rather than having this as part of the conference call? - Gavin 02:24, 5 Jun 2005 (EDT)
