T-Shirt Giveaway - Picking the winner December 5th!

[Rob]

We had fun giving away a t-shirt this last Friday during our weekly YouTube video and I want to do it again, but let's get some more entries!!

The winner will get a coupon code for any t-shirt on Admin Apparel. They do need to pay shipping.

Two things you need to do to enter:

• Subscribe to the Linux.org YouTube channel
• Reply to this thread with the string "I want a t-shirt!"

When I record Friday's video, I'll run a random generator and pick someone!
(might do it live this week - idunno).

If you haven't checked out our weekly videos, I'll generally go over some stats for the week and go over some highlights. It's generally not real exciting haha.. so I'm thinking of ways to make it a little easier to watch.

See you Friday, good luck!!

Show GUI apps, not terminal magic.?

simple topic for newbies one time, and then something more detailed for the already-experienced users ?

(I'll think of more)

 

[Rob]

You don't want a t-shirt? (good ideas!)

 

[wizardfromoz]

He wants a t-shirt, trust me.

If he doesn't I'll travel south 154 km and kick his arse...I know where he lives, lol.

 

[Condobloke]

Well, i've already written a better random picker .. this one, i'll put usernames in beforehand instead of 1-x.

#!/bin/bash
# Linux.org T-Shirt Giveaway Winner Picker

# Array of usernames who entered
usernames=(
    "username1"
    "username2"
    "username3"
    "username4"
    "username5"
)

# Get the number of entries
total_entries=${#usernames[@]}

echo "================================================"
echo "  Linux.org T-Shirt Giveaway - Random Winner"
echo "================================================"
echo ""
echo "Total entries: $total_entries"
echo ""
echo "Picking a random winner..."
echo ""

# Suspense with progress bar
echo -n "["
for i in {1..50}; do
    echo -n "="
    sleep 0.1
done
echo "] Done!"
echo ""

# Get the winner
random_index=$((RANDOM % total_entries))
winner="${usernames[$random_index]}"

echo ""
echo ""
echo "The winner is: $winner!!!!"
echo ""
echo ""
echo "================================================"

If I'm allowed to enter again, then I want a t-shirt as well.

I'm definitely not a t-shirt guy [i have a couple but use them as intended as undergarments in the winter] A light blue or White collard long sieve shirt with a discreet logo on the left Brest then I would be interested, [oh and matching Linux org cuff links would be great..]

It's good to see so much interest this week. I mostly only wear shirts that say nothing. I have a few exceptions. I'll wear a shirt that mentions my state and a couple of academic institutions. Of those things, I have quite a variety.

I also have some generic shirts that I'll wear when I'm being clever. For example, I have shirts that say things like staff, event staff, and security. I have a few varieties of blue shirts that say press on them. (I'm not malicious, I'm curious.)

I rarely wear anything too visibly promoting a company. Like, I'm not going to wear a shirt that promotes a beer company. If the beer company wants me to promote their product, they can pay me (or at least provide the shirt).

So, if I don't win, I will buy one, and if I win, I will also buy one (on top of the one won!).

Yes, but do you want a shirt, David? Hhmm?

 

[KGIII]

Yes, but do you want a shirt, David? Hhmm?

LOL Thanks, but no thanks. Somebody else would appreciate it more than I would. It'd just sit in my closet and I already own more clothing than a guy should.

 

[dos2unix]

Thanks, but no thanks.

He only wears Microsoft clothing.
... I'll see myself out.

Oh, crap! I've been busted!

I do have shares in MSFT. So, there's that.

Anyone else want to enter for a shirt? I'll make the video later this afternoon/evening. It's currently 9am EDT .. probably want to enter before 4pm EDT.
