I've seen on this page: https://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Code_In/Checklist that if we send an email to contest@brlcad.org, we could get a free t-shirt and stickers (btw it can interest other contestants :))but I've already sent two emails including one three weeks ago and I still didn't received any response. Is this mail still used?
Siddharth (Jan 11 2018 at 11:26):Same
Siddharth (Jan 11 2018 at 11:26):Even I sent an email in the starting of the contest
Naseef (Jan 11 2018 at 11:30):Who pays for the t-shirts? Google?
Naseef (Jan 11 2018 at 11:30):?
Rahil Malik (Jan 11 2018 at 11:45):ya, i mailed them too

Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:44):your messages were received.. shwag will get sent out after GCI is over
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:45):Who pays for the t-shirts? Google?
we pay for and send out sticker and (sometimes) t-shirts. we'll probably start with just stickers this time around, but TBD.
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:45):Google sends out their own t-shirt if you complete enough tasks
Lucas Prieels (Jan 12 2018 at 16:46):Great! Thanks a lot! Be sure not to send me twice since I've sent two mails :)
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:48):hah
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:49):if folks keep contributing to the project, they get opportunities for more and more stuff
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:50):some students turn into mentors for other students, and they can get pretty supplies related to their work (e.g., books, hardware) or sometimes even trips to California when mentors get together
Siddharth (Jan 12 2018 at 16:53):I guess, BRl-CAD uses some kind of donation
Naseef (Jan 12 2018 at 16:56):Does BRL-CAD receive any kind of donations from organizations which use BRL-CAD?
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 17:11):sometimes
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 17:11):Google is very generous to and supportive of BRL-CAD
Naseef (Jan 12 2018 at 17:12):Do you think Google uses BRL-CAD?
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 19:26):not likely, why would they need to?
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 19:27):they recognize the importance of CAD industry ... understand just how big that industry is
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 19:28):there is a CAD model somewhere for nearly every single item in your home
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 19:29):it's not something people at home see a lot, but businesses work with CAD a LOT .. every car, bike, plane, motorcycle, part, piece of equipment, lawn mover, rice cooker, blender, toaster, ... CAD files
Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 19:30):by at least one measure, it's bigger than the gaming industry
