Re: T-Shirt for the Apache OpenOffice Project
+1 T-shirts are a a cheap but effective way to motivate committers. - Original Message - ... Hi at all At the old OOo project, we have had T-Shirts. There was existing many different versions of OOo shirts. Moastly they was payed, designed and distributed by one of the OOo related associations. Same Country have had also Fan Shirts wich are selled by OOo related NGO's. One T-Shirt was donated by SUN Microsystems. To have a T-Shirt is a nice thing, if you go to represent AOO at a Event. The old shirts are compleetly outdated. (the old dark blue logo and a logo from a company who is no longer existent) I realy like to have a new Shirt. Samething like a Committer Shirt, what you think about? But there are different problems. Since we have not our own monay at Apache, it's hard to solve the payment question. As far as I know, it's not allowd to put a sponsor on the shirt. I think you hit Traidmarke Issues from the ASF with it. And a Shirt will cost money. Maybe we can offer the Sponsor a Blog Post. The other topic is to distribute the Shirt all over the world. I realy like the Idea, but I'm simply on the wrong place to do samething like that. Switzerland is one of the moast expensive country in the world. Yes, I can do it from here, but finaly, it costs a load more then from a other country. I would realy like to have one for the ApacheCon Europe What do you think about? Greetings Raphael -- My private Homepage: http://www.raphaelbircher.ch/
Re: T-Shirt for the Apache OpenOffice Project
Would the same trademark problems exist if a custom flash drive was made using the OpenOffice orb with seagull logo? I am thinking that this might be a take-away promotion as folks would use this on their computer - if it is affordable. It might be less expensive - possibly with a custom lanyard.

Switzerland is one of the moast expensive country in the world. Recently I purchased printed tshirts in china for 10us dollars each. With more volume, price could drop.

RE: T-Shirt for the Apache OpenOffice Project
I think, from the standpoint of AOO community, being an Apache committer is probably something to leave for an ASF T-shirt, if that is ever done at all. It might be better to leave such fine-grained details among AOO supporters and contributors to nametags or something similar (pins or stickers perhaps). - Dennis PS: I have one Creative Commons T-Shirt that says I'm a Commoner which people don't get and I have to explain it. The one that says I love to share on the front created an awkward moment with two tipsy ladies at a Mark Knopfler concert while Robert Scoble and I were walking back to our cars (where our wives had gone ahead). -Original Message- From: Kay Schenk [mailto:kay.sch...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2012 08:56 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: T-Shirt for the Apache OpenOffice Project [ ... ] I think this is a lovely idea! :) Maybe you should take this up with marketing?

The simplest method, I think, is to have have a volunteer design a shirt, seem permission from the PPMC for the use of the logo and then work with a 3rd party, like CafePress, to print the shirts.There are probably other, less expensive options, but they would be more complicated, in terms of funding and distribution. -Rob Greetings Raphael -- My private Homepage: http://www.raphaelbircher.ch/
