Today we had two posts that contributors received the Box and a very special gift. Again Salid was one of the first who got it. If you are not from Germany, you have to wait a little bit longer, but the packages should arrive soon.

Thanks again to all contributors!

btw: we made the T-Shirt exclusively for contributors. It is not available somewhere else!

Yes, I have got my today, too. Destination was Westphalia, Germany. The T-Shirt is really nice and it is cool that it is exclusive. ;-) The flashlight burned my eyes away, so sorry for my english….. :D
Thank you for this late christmas present. :)

I live in Chile, Southamerica so I guess I need to wait longer, but no problem as long as I get the box ;) I’m dying to see what the t-shirt’s desing is, and how cool that flashlight is. 11.1 is installed on my machine already, rocks!

Regards.

Ricardo, sorry to disappoint you a bit: The flashlight will not be transported with planes since it includes batteries. So, I think only Europeans will get it - the rest has air transport.

Once they find out that you can break a CD apart with your hands and possibly hurst someone with the parts, they’ll forbid transportation of CDs as well, I’m afraid. Ridiculous as the “fluid regulations”. Once someone manages to build an exploding hamburger, you won’t be allowed to take any food with you…

Hope the box won’t attract sticky hands of our post workers, unfortunatelly it’s quite common in poland…

The box is shipped via UPS, so if it won’t arrive maybe someone at Novell will hand you the tracking code…

My dvd case was cracked :(
Replaced it with the one containing my ‘home-made’ openSUSE 11.1 though.

Many thanks, I’ll make sure to wear the shirt when the weather allows it! Too cold at the moment.

I got mine (San Antonio, TX, USA) today. DHL courier came just as I was leaving the house, so I was late for work. Still, very impressed :D

Thanks :D

Awwww my flashlight is broken. The spring on the LED end is loose (i.e. not soldered on) so it’s basically useless. I’m not sure how to get the lamp portion apart without breaking it so I probably just won’t. Did anyone else have any problems with the build quality of the flashlights?

So, USA, Australia and Western Europe have already got their boxes. I live in Russia, Saint-Petersburg - and it is really closer to Europe than Australia, for instance :) Still no call from DHL, but I hope to get mine somewhere around my birthday (January 21st), cause it would be very nice ))))

There was no call from DHL - the courier arrived half an hour ago, so now I have my wonderful T-shirt, the Box and the flashlight! Yes, flashlights can come to Russia ))) Hooray! And warm wishes to all of the openSUSE project - you guys ROCK!!!

Maybe customs (or Mr. Putin) wanted to have a look inside the box first? ;-)

My gifts came in today… Two days AFTER I went back to school. Oh well. I’ll get to check them out soon enough. Thank you! I will definitely get back to contributing to wiki and bugs and hopefully some programs/plasmoids after school slows down.

Thanks, guys, I’ve received it in Hungary. My boys love the flashlight, and it seems for me to be nearly water-resistant. What do you think, may I try it under water? Has anyone experiences with it ;)?

Thank you openSUSE,

I got my package yesterday here in Brazil and for my surprise I got the flashlight too!!! I enjoyed it a lot. I’m wearing the t-shirt right now at my job.

Thank you again and let’s keep doing this distro the best one for everyone.

Now I am upset - I have had a free gift for the past two releases, but this time I was not asked my address info etc and I did not get one this time - I will need to contribute more testing in 11.1 - Not to worry I will pay the AUD80.00 to buy the boxed set of 11.1 this time!
I need to help more with more testing and bug reports ;-)

Thanks for the Christmas present. I received the box on Friday Jan 9, 2009. Totally unexpected in the first place but am very, very pleased to be considered part of the team. Hopefully I can be helpful on the next one.
