Re: GNOME Store

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

We have a Zazzle account and the url for our store will be http://zazzle.com/gnome! (We had to get special approval to have a 5 letter login and store name - the minimum is usually 6.)

I have not but I've added it to my list. It'll probably happen during GUADEC or right after if that'll work. (I leave Wednesday morning for the airport.)

I'm working on the task list for 2.27, and I'm hoping we can start to tackle a new GNOME store in July.

Stormy - have you had a chance to create an account with Zazzle?  (Sorry, I know you're slammed with GUADEC stuff right now).

I'd like to add some of the tasks around a new store to the task list, including:

* Create theme / website on Zazzle site
* Call for artwork
* Review and approve artwork for merchandise
* Pick merchandise for sale
* Launch store (and market it)

We're good to move forward with the Zazzle store (from a board perspective and a legal perspective.)

Once we have an account and a website ready to go, I'll reach out to Hackerthreads and let them know what we are planning.

I checked and we're one vote shy. There was positive reaction but it
stalled on knowing exactly what we've agreed to with hackerthreads. We
don't seem to have a copy of the agreement on file.

I think whatever we do, we'll need to make sure to work with
hackerthreads to maintain that relationship.

A couple of notes on hackerthreads from Rosanna:
- we get $4 per item sold
- they were the ones who came up with the decals, polo, and hat ideas
- in one quarter, they were happy with how things sold and gave us an
extra $100 in donation
