Re: [UG-ADMINS] Sticker Exchange

Michelangelo, All, 

The idea has been floated around a few times here I believe, and I’ve communities do similar things. I think it would be neat to be able to bring tons of stickers from UGs worldwide to my local UG to hand out. Small way of showing them that we’re a part of this really big community.

James, 

Essentially, yes. I would get all the NA (or anyone that wanted to ship to me) stickers and break them out into packets for the other user groups and send them out. Those outside of NA could find someone to do the same and get them to me via conference or one time international shipment (last resort imo). I would probably plan on sending at least 5 of your stickers per UG that is participating.

Also people could do a new Stickermule order and have it sent to me, or they could just direct mail if they already have stickers on hand. I would like to be able to bring all the US ones to php[world] and trade for others that way we can avoid  international shipping as much as possible.

I know not every UG has a logo/sticker so hopefully this would give enough lead time for them to get one if they wanted to contribute. This is also completely voluntary basis. Something to do that I think would be neat for our local communites.
