 * GregDeKoenigsberg not present
 * tchung: As you know we now have some Fedora Stuff available from Red Hat Cool Stuff Store
 * tchung: http://redhat.brandfuelstores.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=37
 * tchung: Please note according to Max and Patrick, this store is primarily targeted for US Ambassadors and US users.
 * tchung: we are working on more similiar stores for other countries/regions as well.
 * tchung: At this point, we recommend Ambassadors to produce Fedora Stuff locally then request for reimbersement via famsco-list.
 * mspevack: nothing more than I added on the list -- localized coolstuff and swag is a problem we're working on
 * mspevack: no one should have to pay that much money on shipping
 * tchung: is there anyway we can contact Brandfuel regarding international shipping cost issue?
 * mspevack: sure, one of us can give them a call. tchung, put that down with my name next to it. action item
