Ubuntu fan in the USA? You can get free Ubuntu case stickers (http://system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64)!
System76 (http://www.system76.com/), a PC manufacturer specialising in Ubuntu systems, is giving a free case sticker to United States residents who send in a stamped addressed envelope. System76’s Carl Richell says there’s no end in sight to the offer and they hope to extend it internationally.
Carl also told The Fridge about their new competition:
Put your sticker in the coolest place - take a picture - and post it. Everyone will get to vote on the best pic and the top ten winners get a System76 “Works Out of the Box” beer stein (http://system76.com/product_info.php/cPath/53/products_id/180). Details will follow soon.
System76 has also made banners, featuring faux-quotes from historical figures. Our favourite has to be this from Julius Caesar:
Rome wasn’t built in a day but it could have been with Ubuntu on System76.
Superb. Get your sticker (http://system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64).

You know, if you order a set of CDs from ShipIt, you can get a bunch of the same stickers. I've been putting them everywhere. On my frame, on my moniter, even on my car. They're pretty cool. Anyone know if Ubuntu does bumper stickers on Cafe Press yet?

I just quickly created 4 svg files for Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=poweredbyubuntu.svg), Kubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=poweredbykubuntu.svg), Edubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=poweredbyedubuntu.svg), and Xubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=poweredbyxubuntu.svg). I know the Xubuntu image looks silly, however it is a good file, the wiki just renders it incorrectly. If the images look dirty on the webpage, they aren't. Once you download them and open them in Inkscape you will see. I made the images in a 2 inch (wide) by 3 inch (tall) format. Being SVG you can of course make it any size you wish.

sorry, forgot to add that you need the ubuntu title font and the the mstt core fonts. you can do that via enabling your multiverse and universe repositories. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories for how to set that up if you don't already know.
Then you can install them via Adept, Synaptic, Aptitude, or apt-get. Via apt-get do this:
sudo apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-title msttcorefonts

If you live in Thailand, there is free sticker campaign as well.
See This page (http://ubuntuclub.com/html/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=27) (sorry, all in Thai but you can guess from the picture)

sorry I should know this... but on the order page (http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9#us) it says "Send a self addressed stamped envelope to: "
does that mean i send an envelope with a stamped + addressed envelope inside?

The idea of posting pictures for people to vote on them makes me think of people doing huge versions of them and putting them on walls and such. Its graffiti, but really GOOD graffiti. :P
:O I spelt graffiti correctly!

just send an envelope with a stamp, your home address, and the system 76 address on it. nothing else

Nixternal, I cant seem to print them properly at all using inkscape.
Got any tips on that?
First time I tried to print, it only printed in the upper right hand corner of my paper and not all of it was there.
Then I tried to adjust settings in inkscape and nothing printed.
I must tell you this is my first time with inkscape.
Tips please.

I read somewhere in the System76 support forum that the people that send the stickers only come in a few times per month.
I just sent my envelope out last week, so I too am wondering how long it'll take.

I gots one on my old computer case (in the tip, nuuuuuu!) one on a friend's guitar case, and one on my 360. I thought the irony would be delicious. It turns out this is only mildly scrumptuous (how the hell do you spell that) irony.

I have just convinced my computer science teacher at my high school to make a small Ubuntu lab at school so that I and some of my friends can learn about networking, and setting up and maintaining a ubuntu server.
I would like to get more than just four ubuntu stickers as I want to put them on all of these computers and other labs in the school. Can I send more than one self addressed envelopes in the same large envelop? Is there any other way I can get stickers or other ways to advertise ubuntu and my school?

Okay sorry to sound stupid, but can I get something straight?
I send, in total, 2 envelopes, right? An envelope addressed to me, inside of an envelope addressed to them, right? So that's two envelopes total, and 2 stamps.
Or do I just send in one envelope, addressed to them with my address as the return address?

the address for stickers in Canada has changed.
the new address is on the system76 website.
If you have sent your SASE to the old address, you should send another one to the new address to get them.
