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 all,
please let's pause this discussion at this time - I don't want to stop it
completely, just pause.
Although I would also like to see the possibility of buying polo shirts,
T-shirts and possibly other things, such as a mug, that could be used to
donate the project, we must first discuss the legal status of the project
and accounting.
Some time ago, we agreed with Tim to hand over the role of project leader -
see http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::16035
Services that were on the original server are gradually migrated, but for
example the "Donations" page is still unchanged. This means that donations
work, but nowhere is it known how these donations are used.
Thanks to the fact that we received a donation of a physical machine from
Integricloud (Tim), a donation of a virtual machine from vpsFree.org, we
have contributors who manage mirrors, we continue to work on the project
without having any own funds. However, it is time to discuss the situation
and find a solution. My idea is that we should have transparent accounting
so that we can accept donations and at the same time see what purposes
they are used for.
Since we are currently busy preparing the release of TDE R14.0.8, I would
like to discuss these things after the release of the new version.
Therefore, I want to pause this discussion until then.
Cheers
