[Trisquel-users] Trisquel Aluminum Case Badges (survey)

[chris]

Let me introduce myself to the forums. I'm the CEO of ThinkPenguin.com and as  
some of you probably know we sell computers, peripharls, and other  
accessories. Our entire product line up is free software compatible. That is  
our products don't require non-free drivers, firmware, or other non-free  
software. All our hardware generally speaking should work across  
distributions free and non-free.

We are interested in helping to spread the word about Trisquel and improve  
the appearance of the distribution. We will be marketing it more and more as  
time progresses. Currently we mainly support Ubuntu and ensure free software  
compatibility with our hardware. We figure users can order and/or move to  
Trisquel at a later time. Many of our customers are some of the least  
technical computer users.

What we are looking to do right now is get high quality case badges produced  
with the Trisquel logo. Before we can do that though I need to find out if  
there is enough demand or if we will have to wait. Our own demand is minimal  
at the moment even though we are working on changing that.

You can check out the attached Ubuntu case badge below to get an idea of what  
it would look like. This does not have the Trisquel logo on it of course.  
What you will see is it is a good looking high quality aluminium sticker.

Right now we would probably need about 100 - 150 people who would be willing  
to pre-order at least one or 15-20 people who would be willing to purchase a  
dozen for $12ish.

Here is what we need to find out:

1. Are you willing to commit in the next week or two to a pre-order?

2. What are you willing to pay? $2-$3 for one or two? For a dozen $12 is  
reasonable. For 100 $75. If you wanted a few hundred or a thousand the price  
can easily drop significantly.

There are a number of things that these can be used for to help promote  
Trisquel later. For instance giving them to people who donate to the Trisquel  
project or at user groups or festivals.

2. How many would you be interested in and what is the maximum price you  
would be willing to commit to for this quantity?

We need about $150 worth of commitments before we will start the process  
rolling. We would ask people to pre-order who are committing by email once we  
determine there is enough demand.

($150 is a very small amount compared to what we will be putting in)

You can send your commitments with the above questions to:
