Dear SFD Team Leader,
The following supplies have been shipped to you:
CDs:
T-Shirts: 2
Balloons: 5
Tattoos: 25
We have previously shipped CDs to many team leaders, and many people
have already received them. If you have not yet received any CDs and
this email does not indicate that we have shipped any to you,
I recommend that you do the following:
1. If you know that you registered before August 4th to receive
materials, reply to this email to double-check that CDs have been
shipped to you. If they have been shipped, check with your customs
officials to find out if the CDs are waiting in customs.
2. Start burning some CDs!
The official SFD CD ISO can be downloaded here:

We have now exhausted our supplies for 2005; we have no more CDs or
shirts to send, and sending balloons and tattoos by themselves is not
cost-effective.
We wish we could supply everyone with as much as they requested, but
unfortunately we don't have sufficient resources for that. Priority
was given to teams that requested their supplies early and to teams
that held SFD events last year, but we did our best to send every
requesting team *something*.
The U.S. Post Office tells me that everything should arrive before
September 10th, so if you don't have your materials and the day is
approaching please contact your customs officials to inquire. (We
do not have tracking numbers for any of the packages -- it would not
be cost-effective or even possible for many of these international
shipments.)
Also, we hear that a SFD team leader in Australia was having trouble
with the customs officials; they didn't believe the CDs were free or
that they were intended for free distribution. So the team leader
opened the box and started handing them out right there! Hopefully
customs won't be a hindrance to your delivery.
Regards,
Matt Oquist
