  • tchung: Please note according to Max and Patrick, this store is primarily targeted for US Ambassadors and US users.

  • tchung: At this point, we recommend Ambassadors to produce Fedora Stuff locally then request for reimbersement via famsco-list.
  • mspevack: nothing more than I added on the list -- localized coolstuff and swag is a problem we're working on
  • mspevack: no one should have to pay that much money on shipping
