At what price? Since the Debian swirl is unicolor, I assume 1 color. Or perhaps 2 colors if we want 'debian' printed on it, too. So, we'd need to decide if we're going for it and try to get 500 orders. Tough, I'm sure, but IMO doable. Then somebody to do the design, and somebody to get a binding offer, with pricing. Set up an informational web page somewhere, preferably on d.o or perhaps d.n webspace. This is very important, I think: people who don't know anybody of those behind it may well decide to buy if it's clearly associated with Debian - perhaps even officially endorsed? Then what? 3 months? 6 months? for collecting orders (I think something like if we get 300 orders after the first 2 monts, we go for it, else cancel the thing.) *If* we decide to do the big swirl, my offer still stands to handle Switzerland. If sarge is released during the time we're collecting the orders, I see no problem whatsoever getting the number if we can convince the RM or the leader to include an ad in the press release :-) (I assume 1 or 2 € p.p. to be donated to Debian if it is so endorsed, of course.) Other possibilities: somebody has a contact at heise and manages to have them place note in c't or iX. Similar schemes for other tech publications. Again: this may be possible if the thing is officially endorsed as a fundraising campaign or whatever. Just my .02€ (or CHF, actually :-) cheers -- vbi -- featured link: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/subkeys
