Hi all!
There's a plan for R.M.Stallman to come to Greece next month to give some talks at the CommonsFest.info in Athens and later he might probably also give a talk and maybe a workshop at the University of Crete.
I was thinking to use this opportunity to present also the Fellowship of the FSFE (with a booth with some posters, fliers and other materials) and maybe some people will like to become FSFE fellows. At the moment I think I'm the only one here on Crete. (Or am I???)
Additionally I thought it would be a good opportunity to sell some merchandise of the FSF/FSFE, but I am not sure about the legal requirements of this.
I believe, that I need to give receipts to the people that buy merchandise.
Do I need to buy the merchandise and re-sell it? Or is it possible to get a set of merchandise provided by the FSFE and forward the income to the FSFE directly, finally shipping back all items that were not sold.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue? (Ideally in the Greek legislation?)
Thanks for information!
Best, Jann

very interesting, thank you for sharing this.

I am not sure: You are also going to the commonsfest in Athens? Or you just like to run a booth for the visit of RMS in Crete?
FSFE has a high interest to be represented on both occasions. We have a lot of promotion material in English [1] and we have our GnuPG-Flyer [2] printable in Greek.
Now, given the short time, we have a problem to get the delivery in time. However, we are able to send you two max-letters (a package needs at least 10 days, which will be too late).
That is, why I propose the following: We send you the max-letters with leaflets and stickers (around 200 leaflets and 80 stickers). Please check our PR-material [1] and let us know what you like to have. Then, maybe you can print the Greek GnuPG-Leaflets directly in Greece? Can you please check how much it would be to print these leaflets (210 × 396 mm) locally in Athens or Crete (~500 pieces) ?
Furthermore, as soon as you let me know if we are talking about both events or only the one in Crete, I can send a mail to all Fellows in Greece to let them know what you are planning to do. In case they like to help out or support you, they can get directly in contact with you. Sounds good? Then please send me a draft that I can send around. Although you might be the only Fellow in Crete, we definitely have some in Greece.
Additionally I thought it would be a good opportunity to sell some merchandise of the FSF/FSFE, but I am not sure about the legal requirements of this.

Please ask Rainer (in CC) directly, he is in charge of all merchandise material and knows best what and how to do.
Thanks and best, Erik

Hello Jann,
Triggered by the subject line, I remembered that we have Booth-How-To in the wiki: http://wiki.fsfe.org/Booth
Comparing it with what Erik wrote, it seems that some parts need to be updated, but it still gives a general idea of the tasks at hand.

If there are any peculiar local issues, please add them to the howto so others get aware of it, too!
Thanks for information!
Thanks for your initiative!
