Marketing Team: Just joined the list. A pleasure to meet you all here. I do hope to make a valuable contribution. I'm considering doing a little research as to what it would take to make the original SuSE Geeko. I have one from a couple years ago, which my kitten has DECLARED is hers now (I ought to take a picture for promotional reasons, although the plush is starting to come apart...) But, there seems to be a bit of demand for one, and I would like to offer one to help promote my company's new HPC Workstation systems which have SuSE Enterprise or openSUSE installed by default. 1) Does anyone have the original template for the plush? Not the latest version, but the more conservative version that most looks like the logo. 2) Is anyone interested in chipping in funds to have them made, where all proceeds would go to openSUSE for continued development of the OS? 3) Is there a way to analyze the demand for these, so we can justify the costs of them being made? From what I can tell, minimum order is 1000... and there's just over 1000 who looked at the openSUSE website/downloads of openSUSE in the last 6 months. 4) Is anyone else on this list interested in having one? I've considered having a "Silicon Wolf" made for promotional reasons as well. Fandom is important in a brand, and generating interest in it may generate interest in the products. I would have no problem having my company put together the funds necessary to help promote openSUSE, and try to host more merchandise, to include boxed copies of openSUSE for those who really want a "retail package".
