Hello! We have just done the drawing for the raffle we held at the Joplin ARC Hamfest back in August. We would once again like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth and who talked with us about our podcast, Linux, Open Source and the ham radio hobby. Drum roll, please...
The winner is: Jim, K5LAD!
Congratulations, Jim. Your Linux in the Ham Shack swag (T-shirt) is on its way to you as we speak. Thanks for entering the drawing. Until next time, happy listening!

Hey, everyone. I know it's been a while since the Southeast Linux Fest happened down in wonderful South Carolina, but I finally got around to determining the winner of the raffle we held when we were there.
As it turns out, congratulations go out to Mark, N4TIR, for his winning raffle entry. Thank you to everyone who participated in the drawing, and to everyone who stopped by our booth to talk about geek tech, amateur radio, Open Source or simply to say hello. We want everyone to know that we had a great time and we'll definitely be back next year.
Oh, the prize is a ZipIt Z2 personal IM device. It's a neat toy by itself, but we're also throwing in a 2GB miniSD card and some instructions on how to turn your ZipIt into a Linux-based computer so you can have some real fun with it. Enjoy!

Last night there was a brief debate about having our merchandise spread across two online shops. We like Printfection because they provide T-shirts and other clothing in sizes up to 5X, which CafePress and other sites do not. However, Printfection does not offer other cool merchandise like wall clocks, hoodies and baseball caps. So the debate ended rather abruptly and we now have two online stores. For most of your clothing and other LHS promotional accessories, please visit the Printfection shop at https://www.printfection.com/lhs. If you're looking for wall clocks, hoodies or hats, check out the CafePress shop at https://www.cafepress.com/lhspodcast. Either way, your purchase will donate from $0.99 to $1.99 to the Linux in the Ham Shack hosting fees. Thank you for your support!
The Dayton Hamvention is coming up very soon and several of our listeners have asked if we're ever going to have custom hats and T-shirts and such made up since we now have a spiffy new logo. The answer to that question is simple: Yes! Thanks to Printfection, we now have an online shop where you can purchase accessories, drinkware and apparel items of your very own. We would really appreciate it if everyone who was a fan of the show would stop by and grab a shirt or a coffee mug from the shop. When you purchase items from the Linux in the Ham Shack store, you will be donating between $0.99 and $1.99 per item, depending on which ones you select, to our hosting fees. You get a fun new item to show off to all your family and friends, and we get a little bit of promotion in the process. It's win-win! Printfection currently does not offer headwear, but we're looking into alternatives for that. If you happen to be coming to Dayton or to the Southeast Linux Fest, make sure to get your LHS promo items before you show up. We'll be looking out for you, and there may even be a prize in it if we see you wearing one of our shirts or drinking out of one of our mugs or can coolers. You can find the store at https://www.printfection.com/lhs. Why not check it out today?
