My local goodwill has received hundreds of swag shirts from me over the years. I like to think the local poor in Miami are benefiting from the dot com boom at least indirectly.
And here I thought they were starting an archive of historical t-shirt designs.
Isn’t T-shirt fabric too fragile for seat cushions?
Given they're holding conferences etc. I imagine companies would be willing to make a decent donation to the IA if they used their branded cushions? At the very least I'm sure people like Mozilla and the Wikimedia Foundation would send t-shirts.
If anyone wants to organise a bulk send from Australia, get in touch - I've got a few shirts I could send over and the local LUG might, too.
Cushions will help a little bit. But pews are simply awful for sitting in for long periods of time no matter what.
I just bagged up a ton of old t-shirts to donate. I'll have to stop by this weekend and drop them off.
Is there a calendar of the events? It could be an occasion to physically bring T-shirts.
We did a few clothing drive parties and had folks send us old startup swag to give to goodwill (and a Jamaican orphanage). Can definitely contribute to this also!
Really cool! A pity that I live in Spain. I guess it is just the same price sending as actual buying those tshirts in the states.
Great idea!
Heh, anyone that worked at Apple or SGI in the 90's could probably cover their entire request :-) Friends there used to joke that first thing a project did was design the t-shirt and print them, if it was a "cool" t-shirt, only then could the engineering begin :-)
