Store SIG Update - 2008-03-19

The Fedora Store SIG [1] meeting was canceled today due to lack of attendance. As I mentioned on IRC though for anyone that came by later, I was going to post a brief summary of where we are at now. I ordered a sample shirt from spreadshirt.com earlier this week. I ordered it in similar style to the one I ordered from cafepress.com a few weeks ago and can compare it to some Fedora shirts I have that were made by a genuine screen printer. I am hoping it arrives by the end of this week, early next week. If the quality of that shirt is good I am inclined to recommend that we go with spreadshirt.com for the 3rd party vendor that we use for the user store front. Our fellow Ambassadors in France use them for their store and have been satisfied with the results. Once the vendor decision has been made I anticipate the Store moving forward at a more rapid place as nearly all of the pieces will have fallen into place. We do have one other major open action item open at this point and that is a mockup of what store.fedoraproject.org might look like. We still need someone to help us out with a mockup of this page. We have listed some general requirements [2] of the page in the wiki and I am happy to answer any questions regarding that page. I see we have a few art team members on the participants list for the Store SIG - any volunteers? I updated the meeting page [3] for next week. Some people have mentioned that the time is not good for them. I am open to moving the time of the meeting if a few people want to throw out a few alternate times. Otherwise, we will meet again next week in the #fedora-mktg channel on Wednesday at 18:00 UTC. Thanks!
