Guess who received a shipment of 2,000 GitHub stickers a few weeks ago! Me, baby, me. And these are high quality vinyl stickers, sure to last to the end of time itself.
I know a lot of you want stickers, so here’s what I’m going to do, just for you. For ONE WEEK ONLY I will mail stickers to anyone that asks. Just email me at tom@github.com like so:
- Put [sticker] in the subject line so I can easily identify sticker requests.
- Put your FULL ADDRESS in the body. I will send stickers anywhere in the world, so make sure to include your full country info if you’re outside the USA. I will literally write what you put in your email on the envelope, so don’t mess it up!
- Tell me how many stickers you want. If you’re only going to use one, only ask for one. If you have a users group or something and want to pass some out, I can send a few more, but not more than 10.
- If you’re running a conference and love GitHub so much that you want to give everyone a sticker, let me know and I can arrange to send you as many as you need.
You have until 11 March 2009 at 6pm PST to make your request, so don’t delay!
We’ll also be at RailsConf in Vegas May 4-7. Come to our GitHub panel and there will be lots of stickers available afterwards. Enjoy your Octocats!
Nice !
OMFG WANT!
OMFG WANT!
OMFG WANT!
Awesome! Are there stickers that say “All your rebase are belongs to us” ? =p
OMFG WANT!
I was wondering when you’d offer these up. Can’t wait to get mine if I get some :)
do want!
Save me one for RailsConf and I’ll buy you a drink.
Hey, yeah send me one out. My e-mail is on the way.
Email sent. Thank by advance :)
I can has!?
Email sent. These are amazing—I love the Octocat logo.
Thank you guys for such an awesome service. (:
Cool! They will look great with the EuRuKo sticker as well
Please make sure Chacon is punted off to Scotland in a few weeks with some of these!
Thanks a lot! tehy look great!
Awesome!
These look like they’d be PERFECT for covering up the fruity wanker logo on several products I own and perhaps finally I can promote something worthwhile! Awesomeness!
Yeah. I love stickers!
Can’t await to get one :-)
/wants some for Argentina!! (to put next to the apple sticker on the back of my car)
Nice!
Are you guys replying to the emails? :-/
@prtksxna – we have been replying to most of them that asked us for a response, but we got over 1,000 emails requesting almost 6,000 stickers more than half of them to international addresses in the span of a few days, so we are trying to parse all of that, order some more stickers and figure out how we’re going to get them all out to you as quickly as possible. Was there a specific question you had for us?

@schacon – Ok! Best of Luck.
Hi schacon, I sent an email two days ago, are you going to reply to all the emails you received? Just curiosity, I would like to share some stickers among the members of my LUG.
Ciao!
@mignolo – we are trying. right now we have requests for like 5 times more stickers than we actually have, so we’re going through them as fast as we can, but we need to order some more.
Rats, I was sleepin’ during the party. If/when you get more of ‘em, if you set up a place for us to send SASEs I’d gladly do it and it’d probably make your lives a little easier next time :-)
So…. what’s th scoop? Stickers on the way yet?
@glongman – we have hundreds of stickers mailed off now, but we have thousands of requests and we’ve run out of stickers. we’re ordering more, but it will take some time.
Haha, wow, i’m amazed at the uptake on this! Github == #win
Did these ever go out? Or has Australia Post failed me again?
Mine arrived yesterday (in Germany) and was sent on June 22nd. See a photo here: http://heipei.net/2009/06/27/the-beauty-of-snail-mail/
Mine arrived yesterday; yay
Is there any chance there will be any more available? I really want one (or two!) ;)
Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether ringtones technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as cialis beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies phentermine, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines fitness equipment
, and the challenge of traditional norms.
