Hi, It's time to offer again something that could be a solution. Here at Hungary there is an company who has wide connections around the world and we have already talked about with Jaroslav Reznik, back in Brno Open House. The company itself is able to send anywhere in the world (in huge percent WITHOUT any extra shipping) his products - and he offers good quality stuffs (Myself seen also fridge magnets, and not only clothes too, but the main profile is clothing). He is producing high quality embroidered tshits, but other printing technics is available. Company is called hellotux.com - and I have given out the owner introduction to Jaroslav already, and Jiri Eismann has received an tshirt sample if my memory serves well (yet there wasn't any feedback from him). The site can accept tons of payment options, and the hellotux.com already operating with many open source communities (Mint, Debian, local Unix HULUG, and many more). Gabor also offered 2 choice - one is that if somebody purchasing a store item, part of the money goes back to the community in selectable form - one is money (witch is not an option for us perhaps), and the another is an extra t shirt (or any one more extra clothing item) that goes to the community manager to share where it's needed. Feel free to ask for more information, and I will forward to the owner Gabor Kum. Thanks, Zoltan PS: I would like to say also that would be a good option to not only tshirt, else other companies like adafruit, arduino be presented in our gears shop, in exchange of advertising or such. IMHO if those companies are collecting eg. 1 extra dollar after every purchase and collecting that amount they would be able to give away freely to our community manager as for example - fedora contest prize, or event support item. #brainstorming What do you think? 2014-07-04 10:37 GMT+02:00 Jaroslav Reznik <jreznik@xxxxxxxxxx>: > ----- Original Message ----- >> Tom and I have talked to the relevant Red Hat people over the last few >> months.
