IMHO, this is great idea !
Because I think, that expanse of the OpenSource software in general is just a
sweet dream without serious and continuous support and cooperation from/with
commercial "companies". What I am trying to say is : No Money No Jazz ...
Personally I would like to see the logos of great commercial Linux
supporters :)
But there is one thing, which could earn some coins to openSuSE :
Small presents thingies like T-Shirt, Mug, Cap or just stickers for
PCs/laptops etc.
People can say, thousand reasons why not to sell some stuff like this, for
example cause u need a producer, distributor etc. for these thingies, but I
am just wondering, why Novell won't take care of it?
Second reason one could say is that nobody will buy these things. I say that
people who even love Microsoft would never wear the cap with white M$ logo,
but I think that most of the openSuSE users would love to wear GreenLizzard
wherever and by this way let the others know "Hey, you know this is a logo of
my favourite Linux distro !"
I hope I wasn't emotional too much ;)
Best whishes with gathering some money for MY FAVOURITE :)
