How the scheme works:

1) when major changes are made the version number is increased. For example,

the transition from 1.9.15 to 1.9.16. However, this version number will not

* n: Pizza Supply Details
|
||||
|
||||
Those who have registered in the Samba survey as "Pizza Factory" will already
|
||||
know this, but the rest may need some help. Andrew doesn't ask for payment,
|
||||
but he does appreciate it when people give him pizza. This calls for a little
|
||||
organisation when the pizza donor is twenty thousand kilometres away, but
|
||||
it has been done.
|
||||
|
||||
Method 1: Ring up your local branch of an international pizza chain and see if
|
||||
they honour their vouchers internationally. Pizza Hut do, which is how the
|
||||
entire Canberra Linux Users Group got to eat pizza one night, courtesy of
|
||||
someone in the US
|
||||
|
||||
Method 2: Ring up a local pizza shop in Canberra and quote a credit card
|
||||
number for a certain amount, and tell them that Andrew will be collecting
|
||||
it (don't forget to tell him.) One kind soul from Germany did this.
|
||||
|
||||
Method 3: Purchase a pizza voucher from your local pizza shop that has no
|
||||
international affiliations and send it to Andrew. It is completely useless
|
||||
but he can hang it on the wall next to the one he already has from Germany :-)
|
||||
|
||||
Method 4: Air freight him a pizza with your favourite regional flavours. It will
|
||||
probably get stuck in customs or torn apart by hungry sniffer dogs but it will
|
||||
have been a noble gesture.
