Project swag store to benefit the ASF

["P. Taylor Goetz" <pt...@gmail.com>]

Is there any precedent or best practice for setting up a project swag store on something like cafe press?

I need to place an order, but I would also like to allow others to order items, and I would like any proceeds to go to the ASF.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

A few people have done this over the years. The short answer is a) don't abuse the trademarks (I'd in doubt ask on trademarks@) b) donate any proceeds via fundraising@ (they can help you figure out the best way of seeing up payments) c) accept or implicit thanks for doing "good stuff"

If you want to be more visible then Sally over on press@ can help

The closest OpenOffice came to this is simply by listing reorder links 
to promotional material here:
http://www.openoffice.org/marketing/art/galleries/logos/index.html

But this is for volunteers attending events rather than for the general 
public, as explained at the top of that page.

In our case we simply link to a vendor for convenience, but we make it 
clear that "This is only one of many merchants that can provide this 
kind of service and is not specifically endorsed by the Apache Software 
Foundation".  There are no agreements with this vendor (i.e., all money 
goes to the vendor).
