Fedora Store Special Interest Group

Mission

The Store SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group of Fedora contributors working to create a turnkey swag solution for the Fedora Project.

Specific goals

Making it easier for Ambassadors and event organizers to get swag in bulk, for a good price, and for reasonable shipping charges.
Making it easy for users who just want one or two items to get them, again without crazy shipping fees.
Making it as easy and automated as possible for designers to create new products.
Not having to do any physical distribution or order processing ourselves.
Providing international service.
Being transparent regarding money.

Open action items

We will cover all open action items at each meeting.

Create mockup / requirements page on the wiki that starts laying out ideas for what a store.fedoraproject.org could look like. JeffreyTadlock has contacted the Art Team via mailing list and the Web Page Request for help on a mockup.
Continue to narrow down which vendor we should proceed with. (Everyone)
