Goal: produce promotional swag that promotes Plone and make it easy to purchase this merchandise and donate proceeds to the Plone foundation to be used for marketing efforts.

Swag Ideas

Ideas for Plone t-shirt lines

Promotion channels:

Set up a demo.plone.org (davewave: you mean shop.plone.org)  site with PloneGetPaid. This would also help to promote the GetPaid e-commerce framework.

More ideas: if some companies want to sell promotion material, like 6FeetUp is doing, maybe open the above mentionned place for this use. Then, for example, Pilot Systems will not set-up a complete shop under its domaine, like what we're planning to do now, but just have some products on the shop.plone.org. If this idea is OK, we could do the PloneGetPaid integration, in order to learn how to use it (we had a discussion with Chris at the Plone Conf about that).

Existing Plone swag:

• Sixfeetup's swag
• Cafepress Plone store

 Look at what other CMSes are doing to promote their brand with swag:

• Joomla
• Drupal
