Tom Preston-Werner, a co-founder of GitHub, announced that he received a shipment of 2,000 high-quality vinyl GitHub stickers and offered to send them to anyone who requested them via email for one week. To facilitate the process, he instructed interested parties to email him with "[sticker]" in the subject line, include their full address in the body, and specify the number of stickers desired, with a limit of ten per request unless for larger events like conferences. The deadline for requests was set for March 11, 2009, at 6 pm PST, and he also mentioned that additional stickers would be available at the GitHub panel during RailsConf in Las Vegas from May 4-7.
