T-Shirt for the Apache OpenOffice Project
Hi at all
At the old OOo project, we have had T-Shirts. There was existing many
different versions of OOo shirts. Moastly they was payed, designed and
distributed by one of the OOo related associations. Same Country have
had also Fan Shirts wich are selled by OOo related NGO's. One T-Shirt
was donated by SUN Microsystems. To have a T-Shirt is a nice thing, if
you go to represent AOO at a Event. The old shirts are compleetly
outdated. (the old dark blue logo and a logo from a company who is no
longer existent) I realy like to have a new Shirt. Samething like a
Committer Shirt, what you think about?
But there are different problems. Since we have not our own monay at
Apache, it's hard to solve the payment question. As far as I know, it's
not allowd to put a sponsor on the shirt. I think you hit Traidmarke
Issues from the ASF with it. And a Shirt will cost money. Maybe we can
offer the Sponsor a Blog Post.
The other topic is to distribute the Shirt all over the world. I realy
like the Idea, but I'm simply on the wrong place to do samething like
that. Switzerland is one of the moast expensive country in the world.
Yes, I can do it from here, but finaly, it costs a load more then from a
other country.
I would realy like to have one for the ApacheCon Europe
What do you think about?

This is covered by existing ASF trademark policy. See the section
called "Using Apache trademarks on merchandise" here:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/
And you cans see what other products have done with this Google query:

The simplest method, I think, is to have have a volunteer design a
shirt, seem permission from the PPMC for the use of the logo and then
work with a 3rd party, like CafePress, to print the shirts. There
are probably other, less expensive options, but they would be more
complicated, in terms of funding and distribution.

Recently I purchased printed tshirts in china for 10us dollars each. With more volume, price could drop.

I think, from the standpoint of AOO community, being an Apache committer is probably something to leave for an ASF T-shirt, if that is ever done at all.
It might be better to leave such fine-grained details among AOO supporters and contributors to nametags or something similar (pins or stickers perhaps).

PS: I have one Creative Commons T-Shirt that says "I'm a Commoner" which people don't get and I have to explain it. The one that says "I love to share" on the front created an awkward moment with two tipsy ladies at a Mark Knopfler concert while Robert Scoble and I were walking back to our cars (where our wives had gone ahead).

I think this is a lovely idea! :)
Maybe you should take this up with marketing? Or see what they're up to.
Thye may already have come up with some ideas.
I think it would be great for committers to have specially labeled shirts
to wear to functions such as this.

Would the same trademark problems exist if a custom flash drive was made using the OpenOffice orb with seagull logo? I am thinking that this might be a take-away promotion as folks would use this on their computer - if it is affordable. It might be less expensive - possibly with a custom lanyard. Something like :
