The Jacket Returns
Recently, I got a rather cryptic message from Max Spevack, the Fedora Project Leader asking for my address so he could send me something. Well, today a parcel arrived for me.
A while back my jacket was ebayed for charity and Max and Greg bought it. Well, Max sent it back to me, and included the following little note:
It says:
Jono
You do a great job w/Ubuntu.
You should have this back. Too big for me anyway.
Best,
Max Spevack, Fedora Project Leader
You are a good guy, Max. The Fedora Project are lucky to have you at the helm.
Now, technically, this jacket is not mine any more, and I would feel a little guilty to keep it. If anyone has any bright ideas for what to do with it or who to donate it to, let me know.

Donate it to a research facility to help with the ongoing fight against mutant beard fleas.

Jono, I’ll happily put it up on ebay for charity again. Do this a few hundred (thousand) times and we can end world poverty.

BTW, I can’t believe they didn’t abuse it in anyway – they told me they were going to get a fedora logo painted on the back. We should nick the fedora jacket Ade has throw the two at a sewing machine and ebay the resultant mutant spawn.

I know have each distro put there logo on it. Then e-bay for charity with a big tux on the back

Give it to me.
:twisted::roll:
Okay, I must admit, Ebaying it for charity again sounds much better. But I’d look spiffy in an Ubuntu jacket…

Re-ebay it, Jono – for a different cause, maybe.
Or, here’s a better idea – eBay it and donate proceeds to the Fedora Project – back at them!!!

Instead of putting in on ebay again, make it travel as much distros as possible. Let all sign it, and afterwards put it on ebay again

Nice blog post, Jono. Unexpected, but flattering.
I didn’t even realize you’d written it until I got an IRC from one of the Fedora guys saying “dude, you gave up the jacket without defiling it?”

@13: +1. The included note is like a certificate of authenticity.

Technically, unless it was stolen at some point along the lines, it’s yours now, as the note is written consent to transfer of ownership
