She's putting it on my fleece jacket for starters. Because this is on-demand, there is no need for outlay of cash by the LLG -- therefore, all the investment and all the profit would go to me and Jen. Can individuals in the Lojban community offer Lojban products for sale on a catalog page of Lojban.org? I don't actually need a motion on this part so much as the sense of the community. -Matt On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 12:39 PM, Bob LeChevalier wrote: > Arnt Richard Johansen wrote: >> >> On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:12:21PM -0400, Matt Arnold wrote: >> >>> I think the LLG should purchase Lojban refrigerator magnets, and a set >>> of 30 dice I have devised with Lojban letter distributions in the >>> gismu and cmavo lists, and sell them.
