Situation is different here in South America, and in Chile you don't have much FLOSS events through the year. You will always find me wearing an openSUSE t-shirt our there, and you too could see Fedora Ambassadors, Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch t-shirts but it is not likely that you could get one. In other words, your wife would not need to hide them if you both were here :) By the way, most designs I have seen around are pretty simple, logo on the front and some line on the back. Coolest t-shirts are Gnome related, sold by the Gnome community at Encuentro Linux, event held once a year. I recall seeing the original blueish KDE t-shirt (with the white K + gear) on the front, plain as it is and it rocks all the way :)
Thanks for your feedback Will, I will do my best to design something much more appealing, and also would like to see more people sending ideas. It's very important to me that the openSUSE project is this open and interested to hear from all of us.
I'm glad you took my feedback in the right spirit. I didn't know that FLOSS t-shirts are not so omni-present on geeks' backs in Chile - I can see where you are coming from with your 'pretty simple' design now. However, we're still designing for the global FLOSS crowd here, so a kick-ass design is needed. Search for 'fosdem' or 'linuxtag' or 'linuxcon' in Flickr or other photo websites for pictures of the hacker jungle that we want our people to stand out of instead of blending in like shy chameleons. Maybe we could start a gallery of our t-shirt collections so we all know what has been done? And what is it about the Gnome t-shirts that makes them so cool to you? Is there something you can learn from their designs?
