D-A.org t-shirts?

Posted by Steve on Thu 28 Jun 2007 at 15:33

Today I received an email asking for permission to print and sell Debian Administration T-shirts, and the ability to advertise them upon the site.

I said that I thought the market was probably extremely tiny, but I'd be happy enough if I received a small percentage of profits or I receive proof that a percentage was donated to the Debian project.

No reply yet, so this could well be one of those offers which comes to nothing. But for my own curiosity would you buy one?

I've got Debian T-Shirts bought from Steve McIntyre, but other than that I've no interest in buying random /., freshmeat.net, perlmonks, or random site-shirts. I suspect I'm not alone.

(Donated shirts are another thing entirely ;)

I own a couple of gun shirts as well as a few 'open source' shirts (mod_perl World Domination, C, etc, stuff like that) plus I have a SUN Solaris jacket that was given to me by a SUN rep, but I have yet to actually purchase a 'operating system' t-shirt.

I would be interested in seeing the actual pattern and layout. Post a comment if they get back to you about graphics and artwork =)

Got my first cheque from the random t-shirt idea generator scheme this week.

Okay - so two rounds of drinks for my mates at chess club will demolish the cheque - but hey it was a fun doing it.

The world is half a dozen t-shirts richer.

I'd buy one, as long as they were under $20.00 USD.

And this is why I'd not want to do it myself; the though of handing currency conversions and mailing out things just fills me with horror!
