I like wearing polo shirts (they make T-shirts
too actually) with
something about Linux and I have found good, embroidered shirts
from a Hungarian maker (he does the embroidering, not the shirts
actually). I'm not putting the address here because I don't want
that you believe I would be making business, I am just a customer
there.
The point is he asked for suggestions, so I suggested TDE shirts
- and he answered "I was a big fan of KDE3, so Trinity is close
to my heart. I'm ready to make Trinity Desktop shirts, if the
project can help me to promote them on the official website.
Without the reach of the users, we won't send a piece for sure."
Well, so the question is to know if there would be any interrest
and if "promoting" shirts on the website would be
desired/possible. I don't suppose it would, but I just told him
i'd ask.
Hi Thierry,
Can't answer you about the website (although I can't see why you
personally couldn't add a wiki page, just make it ‘vendor’ neutral,
e.g. these people sell TDE goods and give x% of sales to TDE, blah,
blah).
From a business standpoint these are the things I suspect need to
be answered first:
- What does the product look like?
- What’s the price structure?
- What percentage does TDE get off the sale?
- How long has the business been in operation?
- What’s the background (reputation really) of the business?
From a personal standpoint I’d want to know your experience with
the polo shirts:
- How many have your bought from him?
- How long do they last?
- Need some pics!
Would I buy?
Yes? Everyone varies on what they deem reasonable, I tend to buy
new (with tags) Polo by Ralph Lauren shirts in the 20 - 25 USD
range, their t-shirts in the 7 - 10 range. Which takes a while to
find. But Ralph Lauren has pretty good quality so they tend to
last 5 to 10 years, so I only need to buy 3 or 4 shirts per year...
Best,
Michael
