Yeah, all teams had the extra 2 already included and if the sizes weren't
specified we did random for the free two. So you were being shipped nine
initially (7 paid and 2 free), and I've added another 4 for this issue as
per the sizes above (I offered 4 extra taking the 2 freebies into account).
So you are about the receive 13 shirts. Will be sent this morning so you
should see it soon :)

> Sorry for adding to your gripe sheet - it must be huge already!

It is important to solve the issues and make sure everyone has an awesome
day. I'd really appreciate a gentle ping if something like this happens
again as we are tracking about 130 registered teams _and_ another ~70ish
late registrations this year, so it can be hard to keep an eye on everyone
:)

Thanks! :)

Great! I look forward to seeing the report and photos on the wiki. Make sure
you remember the competition and to send us your entries if you want to
participate. Details on the website.

Absolutely, which is why I try to encourage teams to think locally in terms
of relevance, encouraging new community members and garnishing local
business and Government support for your community.

> Ok. We _have_ got it easy. Your work is very much appreciated. :)

Have a fantastic Software Freedom Day in NZ! There are 7 teams in New
Zealand this year, which is a great effort. Rock on :)

Cheers,
Pia
