This give us some limitations like we can upload only -not sure- 3 vector images. We can upload as many bitmap-images as we want, but this can be printed only on white background. @michl: Maybe we should think about a pro account? It would bring many advantages like localised shops and so on. Next thing is, that we need to summarise spreadhirts rules and our brand guide to a how to. So that people in the community can contribute artwork which work. So far :-) Robert > Best > Michael >> >> Also we need to investigate more on the taste of the openSUSE lovers.
