Hi, I think I now have the GNOME Amazon stores is such a shape that we can start advertising them. Please go to: http://www.gnome.org/friends/amazon/ and take a look or even better buy something. To make it easy every store has a searchplugin which you can install in firefox. Just click on the dropdown of the search engines and you can add it.
I've also released version 1.0 of GNOME Amazon Firefox add-on here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13182/ It's still needs to be reviewed by addons.mozilla.org but you can already use it. That extension automatically puts in the friend of gnome referal code, if there is none yet. So if you want to make sure that a percentage of what you buy goes to the GNOME foundation you better check that tag=friendofgnome-xx (where xx is 20, 21 or 22) is part of the URL or just buy directly in the GNOME amazon store. However I think the extension is something what you can install at computers of family members or friends (with their permission of course) who buy stuff at Amazon. For them nothing changes. They can just shop as they do normally but 4-6% of what they buy goes to the GNOME foundation So that's the technical part. Now how are we going to market this? 1) Stormy asked me to write about it on my blog. I'm waiting to get added to planet gnome. When that's the case I can write something 2) We can add a logo plus some text in the sidebar of www.gnome.org/friends 3) We could add something at the gnome homepage 4) Maybe even a press release.
