Since I started Lindows back in 2001 - even before we had a product to
sell - we've gotten emails from people asking us when they'd be able to
get their hands on some genuine Linspire "swag" - bags, hats, shirts,
and other Linspire gear. Some of the requests were pretty hard
to implement (like the Linspire hot air balloon) andsome of them were
downright weird (like the Michael Robertson bobblehead doll), but the
general gist was that people out there wanted something to show their
Linux pride even when away from their computer.
Well, after almost four
years, we finally
found the time to open up a store full of swag.
However,
among the hats, polo shirts, mugs, and
bags that are available, you'll find one
crucial item is missing: a new Linspire t-shirt. So, we're
holding a contest to see who can come
up with the best t-shirt idea. The winner will have their t-shirt
mass-produced and offered up for sale in our store, and will also win
one of
every Linspire item currently sold in the store. The first runner-up
will get a Linspire
backpack, and the second runner-up gets a Linspire polo.
Don't worry if you're not the most creative kid in the class - every
person who submits a t-shirt idea to the forum will be entered
in a random drawing for one of five tee/hat
combos. ( Read
the official contest rules.)
Your idea could be funny, zany, philosophical or sarcastic; it could
include a witty slogan or a stick-figure mock-up for a design. To enter
the contest, post your t-shirt idea on this forum thread by
midnight PDT on June 16, 2005. Linspire staffers will vote
on the ideas, hold the drawing, and post the winners in
the forum on June 17 (we'll
also send an email to those who win). Remember, to post you have to be
registered - if you don't already have an account you can sign up for a
free account at my.linspire.com. Some of the
ideas we've had so far:
- Linspire Five-0... Ride the Wave (graphic: Tux on a
surfboard)
- Linspire: Kills Bugs on Contact (graphic: Linspire-brand
bug spray)
- Linspire: Always Up and Running (graphic: Running Man logo)
Check out more ideas and submit your own
today!
We're also planning on expanding our store in the near future - and
we'd like to know what you'd like the next swagged item to be (Linspire
press-on tattoos? Dog tags? Chia Pets? It's your call!) Take this brief
survey
and let us know your thoughts!
