But how about we make a small profit on these shirts and then donate the profits to a nominated charity (or even a free software project that needs contributions.) I know it would create the mother of ALUG arguments about which cause gets the money, but it's just an idea.
Damm! MJ and I had already arranged to split the proceeds between us!!
Never mind MJ, there'll be other opportunities! ;o)
On a serious note, what's the general feeling about this? and would there be any legal complications?
As not all ALUGers are awash with spare cash how about a voluntary donation of 50p or £1 per item? (this might be a way of getting round any legal issues with reselling at a profit).
As for the good cause I'd nominate the AFFS.
As an aside, I'm considering sending an order off to the Linux Emporium http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/index.php?PAGE=21 for some Tux PC and lapel badges, and, perhaps, the odd Tux soft toy or two. If I get some extras I could bring them along to meetings and pass them on at cost (plus a voluntary donation?). Any interest?
