The t-shirt costs 40 quid, with that you get a ticket to yapc::Europe happening this year in september in London. By buying a t-shirt and ticket your helping raise the cash early to pay for the deposit of the venue, you might get your name in ASCII somewhere on the website and have a chance of getting one of the t-shirts that will be presigned by Randal. I'd also note that the sooner I have flogged all the t-shirts, the sooner i will stop with this spam on London.pm. dha - beware, if i don't sell them soon in London.pm i'm going to set up stall elsewhere ;-) -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net "To iterate is human, to recurse, divine." - L.
