Well, what does not work is that we manage different sizes and colours and shipment ourselves. Therefore we are currently (again) looking into T-shirt services with worldwide presence where we can open a shop-in-a-shop. Some have quite problematic terms&conditions (e.g. payment arrives up to 120 days and is void if they cancel for any reasons etc.). > > There'd need to be some sort of nice image to put on the shirts, > of course--I'm pretty sure that someone here would be both willing > and able to help produce that if it doesn't yet exist (e.g.: I would). There is a design that we did use at FOSDEM and other fairs (but we had ordered them only for the stand staff): http://freeyourphone.de/portal_v1/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=1978&p=18465&hilit=fosdem#p18465 > So, what do you say? Since I am personally not a collector of T-Shirts I wonder if it is so much important to combine donations with T-Shirts. Direct donations are always possible and welcome: http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04%3aDonation So if we just provide a T-Shirs design, everybody could donate on one side and submit the design files to a (local) T-Shirt shop to get it in his/her size.
