RE: [board-discuss] Re: LibreOffice Swag/Merchandise Bulk Purchase?
Seeing a discussion of this. I would like to propose something here. Why not setup an e-commerce site for people that want to purchase swag outside of contests as their way of donating so to speak to the TDF. I am versed in setting up word press as an E-Commerce Site, and can get it to interface with the TDF's PayPal.

I'm going to ping Marketing about making some kind of design to add to it - if no one volunteers probably same as mug/tshirt design.

Already being investigated but legal issues with non profit status is an issue. We are all hoping it happens though :) Best Joel On Mar 29, 2013 11:47 PM, Jonathan Aquilina eagles051...@gmail.com wrote: Seeing a discussion of this. I would like to propose something here.

RE: [board-discuss] Re: LibreOffice Swag/Merchandise Bulk Purchase?
Again Joel I would like to offer my experiences and knowhow from what I am learning through my thesis in regards to E-commerce as well setting up a website as such too. Joel I was thinking Couldn't we classify the swag according to donation level and then whenever someone donates let's say 20 euros they get a mug etc. From: Joel Madero [mailto:jmadero@gmail.com] Sent: 30 March 2013 09:20 To: Jonathan Aquilina Cc: Robinson Tryon; Cor Nouws; market...@us.libreoffice.org; board-discuss@documentfoundation.org; Thorsten Behrens Subject: RE: [board-discuss] Re: LibreOffice Swag/Merchandise Bulk Purchase?
