Yes - we definitely don't want to be linking to a company claiming to
support us that don't deliver the goods they take money for. It's not
fair to the people that don't get their shirts etc, nor does it paint us
in a good light.

SW appears to have gone out of business in the last 2 months or so. Their
800 number is not functioning, and I've e-mailed Federico a couple of
times about bulk ordering t-shirts for us to resell without response.
As a pisser, this also means that we won't get the money they pledged us
for 2005. :-( And good luck to customers on collecting a refund ... I
suggest calling your credit card company and issuing a chargeback -- you
generally have 90 days to do so.
CafePress, anyone?

I have had excellent luck with CafePress. I bet we could even get the
account to directly
submit to the SPI account. That way money goes directly on each purchase
to PostgreSQL.

I'd like to take a stab at doing some of the products. I avoided the
sourcewear stuff because I thought it wasn't very attractive.

What do others think about the quality of their shirts? None of the ones
I've bought last very long at all before getting very faded.
http://hackerthreads.com is an alternative, as is
http://spreadshirt.com. I recently got a shirt from spreadshirt, and so
far it's holding up great.
