When u promise me that this money is used for openSUSE and not in such a way
like this black iPod cable holder, then I do some nice motifes for the shop.
But there are some problems more, for uploading own motifes u need a paid
account, then u have the right to upload every month 20 of them is a lot. So I
would prefer to make 20 motif.
So maybe we sould collect some goot motifes before we doing it.
But on the end, here working only 3 ppl Javier, Robert and me and we should do
first conference shirts
second shirts for give away
third distribution design for 11.4 completly that means also the cover, sorry
not bad the 11.3 but looks very different from the design which is used in the
distribution self. We also had some complaints about missing splashes in 11.3
where this from 11.2 was used, that should not happend again
first distro after that, the other stuff.
hopefully here come more ppl they work not talk, more ;) Then we can do more
things but right now I see only 3 working.

Absolutely!
Using another
distro or project designs would be like we're following and not
leading.
Yes, as I said - it's to be inspired by the variety of approach, not
to copy.
I like the most simple stuff out of Threadless though.
I agree - some of the stuff is very clumsy and busy. I think simple,
even elegant, and uncluttered are useful ideas and fit well with
openSUSE. It's possible to be expressive and artistic within that -
it doesn't have to be stiff and boring.
When combining inspiration or concepts, I feel it's important that
they gel successfully and you don't have unrelated images just pushed
together, or too many design elements competing for attention.
For the OSC, or "general purpose" t-shirt?
I guess the OSC designs wouldn't translate well to a general-purpose
shirt as the skyline is rather place-specific. (on the other hand, I
have an Edelrid shirt that has "Made in Germany" stamped across it,
which I rather like...) But perhaps the design elements could work,
adapted - the heavier logo to one side, a lightweight linear design
across with alternative logo/text to anchor the other side.
Is there any reason that a print-to-order shop like Cafe Press or
Zazzle is unsuitable? I've never used these, but it seems to be a
good way to offer a choice of designs. (I guess this has probably
been discussed in the past... apologies for my extreme noobiness
today!)
We have that - http://shop.opensuse.org/
But we don't treat it well. That means we created the stuff 1 or 2
years ago and never touched it again :-(
michl had some time ago a conversation with henne about that shop and
push some of my motives like "Super-SUSE" or the japanese geeko or the
graffiti motifes to it.
I have a little conflict doing this, on the one side I know the money
from the shop is directly reused for buying marketing stuff.
But otherwise I saw ugly things like this black stuff I didnt realize for
what it is and noone liked it on events, u know what I mean.
So michl, when I work as a non paid designer and give away may graphics
for nothing, can I see for what the money u earned with it is used?
Just checked the latest accounting stuff we received from spreadshirt.
We're talking about roughly € 100 per quarter income. Currently this
income goes to Novell as openSUSE itself isn't able yet to receive money.
And now we're again on the foundation which could solve this.
michl thats the income with the ugly shirts ;) As I know it goes back to the
marketing pot for openSUSE.
I also spoke with henne about doing it after the foundation, but I see there a
lot of talking without an end ;)
