Hello this is Nik Butler you may remember me from such public events as Linux World Expo and Lugradio 2006. Well as you know I had a few T Shirts provided by Canonical as part of the Ubuntu Conference Pack. I suggested that at least one T Shirt should be signed by every UK Team member who helped out at Linux World Expo as well as Canonical staff including SABDFL ( Mark Shuttleworth ) and auctioned to raise some money for [http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/ Children In Need] = Introduction =

Please can I ask though that we refrain from Penny Bids and try bid up by at least £2.00 ( Sterling, British pounds ! ) per bid. There are so many ways I could have done this but frankly I just wanted to make it straight forward and direct to provide a little fund raiser at short notice and Wikis are wonderful for this.

Introduction

Hello this is NikButler. You may remember me from such public events as Linux World Expo and Lugradio 2006. I had a few T Shirts provided by Canonical as part of the Ubuntu Conference Pack. I suggested that at least one T-shirt should be signed by every UK Team member who helped out at Linux World Expo as well as Canonical staff including SABDFL (MarkShuttleworth) and auctioned to raise some money for Children In Need.

Well the T-shirt has been signed by one and all mentioned and even the considered figure of Jon 'Maddog' Hall was on hand to put pen to cloth. So now we have a well signed shirt, currently somewhere in San Francisco, and I am expecting it back into the country on the 20th.

If you're interested in becoming the proud owner of this t-shirt, place your bids on this page. The t-shirt will go to the highest bidder at Friday 24th November 2006 at 13:00 PM UTC. Please try to bid up by at least £2.00 (Pounds Sterling) per bid.

The winning bid will be asked to make out a cheque to Children In Need and to send this to me for banking, in turn I will send them the Tshirt covered in signatures as discussed.

The Shirt is now with me so I will get some images and post them later today.
