Re: buying GNOME merchandise

[Olafur Arason]

What about credit cards the Linux Fund seems to be successful at that so
why not a GNOME credit card. If I lived in the US and were using a credit
card, I would use it. You can maybe broker a deal so it would work here in
Iceland also.

 Hi Curtis,
 
 I've been working for several months getting a merchandising agreement
 in place for gnome.org. We're in advanced stages of that process, and
 when we have something concrete to announce, you'll be the first to hear
 about it.
 
 As for using the logo, members should be able to use it - we need to
 work out the details (Luis Villa is working on exactly that for a
 college paper as we speak) and Mairin Duffy is working on a style guide
 for brand usage. The board has also worked out (and we're just awaiting
 approval from lawyers that it's acceptable) trademark usage contracts
 whick are suitable for wide-ranging communtiy uses. This stuff is
 getting worked out, and we're nearly at a stage where we can stop
 thinking about it (which is great).
 
 Cheers,
 Dave.

  I'm in the mood to put the GNOME logo in my home, office, and clothes,
  and I don't wear tee-shirts.  www.cafepress.com will let me create
  buttons, posters, and stickers.  I don't believe the Foundation permits
  any member to use the logo in this case since the items are available
  for sale.  Is this so?  I don't want the money; I would donate all
  proceeds to GNOME.  Can the Foundation arrange for such as store?

Re: Formation of Gnome-user-foundation

[Olafur Arason]

This would only be a way to enhance the development of Gnome not to replace it.
I do agree with you that this would be bad for the developing world,
we could have
a system where there was a minimun of 3$ annual fee and prefered 30$ but you
could contribute any amount you liked, the point would be not to dictate what
core developers are doing that would be stupit, the point would be to get
people that are on the fringe to develop more for Gnome and they can do that
because they don't have to worry about working to much because they will get
payed. 
Also your logic works both ways, imagine people in asia and south
america getting
1000$ dollers to work on Gnome.

Ps these ideas are more inclined with left anarchism and gift system
that capitalism
so we are not talking about segregation.

  IMHO Its just a variant on the bounties. If Novell can do bounties why
  can't 50 users get together and issue a bounty on a matter that annoys
  them. Is it any different to a business saying to Red Hat or Novell We
  need XYZ then we could do 5000 desktops.
 
   I think there was an agreement on no more bounties, je are just
 finishing to ventilate the existing bounty fund, but not accept new
 bounties funding.
 
  I agree it shouldn't control development or dictate to volunteers what
  feature to add but providing it is seperated clearly (as with any other
  user group) then is there a problem ?
 
   To me the problem was pay 25$ and be part of our powerful club which
 looks to me the last thing to do to try to grow GNOME in new areas like
 Africa and Asia. More bugzilla triaging is good, doing more analysis
 on user input is good, generating upfront user segregation on income is
 really bad.
