GnomeWare on Copyleft

Comments Filter:
  • by Anonymous Coward
    I'd rather have a GNOME polo style shirt, with just the foot (no words).

    It would be cool to have a slashdot t-shirt that was just a stylish "/.", i.e., no words either. I don't really want the "News for Nerds" banner across my chest. I'd rather leave people curious, and anyone who know what it meant would amused. Kind of like a mason's ring ... I like it, the "mystical order of slashdot".

    Oh, and I want a GNOME decal and slashdot logo decals for my car. And a GNU decal. And an emerald ring with a gold "/." on it.

    Careful planning.

    much less prince, i occupy the space formerly known as your closet
  • I'm not sure you can stylize a line and a dot very well on a shirt. Put it inside a circle, perhaps, like a sort of stamp. The same approach would work for the ring.

    A black circle with gold trim, and a gold /. in the center. That'd sure bring some contrast to the white background and blue-green foreground of the web pages.
  • Well, after all, GNOME is a GNU project; you'd kind of expect them to call it by that full name. :)

    The Gnome t-shirt and hat is pretty kick ass I must say. But if only they made some sweat shirts for people that are living in colder climates :)
  • ...for Polo-style shirts.

  • Shouldn't that be gnomewear?
  • Remember what I said about looking in my closet. I really think you should stop that the last time you broke my voltron!
  • I think because KDE positioned itself as a very businesslike desktop. It's more useful but also more boring than Gnome. Gnome is, well, a work of art.

    I'm not going to knock KDE (it's awesome), but Gnome has me hooked. Warts and all.
  • no, definantly gnomewhere :)
  • Have we come up with a new word for our type??? Shall we be called gnerds??? :-D
  • Then I can wear some geekware to work.

    But Gnome is not necessarily tied to Linux... You can (if my memory servers) surn it on xBSD and Solaris as well.

    Better to leave the entire GNU/Linux thing out. Just the foot; that ought to be enough.

    As for Slashdot shirts, I would like a design on a black shirt of a 'slashdot green' circle with a white, somewhat blurry /. in the center.

    The t-shirt says GNU/Linux on the back! That's just a little too politically correct for me. Nothing against the people who feel they have to call it GNU/Linux, I just feel that's a little excessive. The hats are cool though :)
  • If you guys are coming to Comdex down in Chicago, (or if Copyleft is there) I'll pick up some new clothes. ;) Btw, polo shirts would be a good idea also.
  • The Bigfoot foot:
    • is a right foot.
    • has three toes.
    • is two dimensional.
    • is a "normal" foot.


    The Gnome foot:
    • is a left foot.
    • has four toes.
    • is three dimensional.
    • is shaped like a "G".


    Is that still similar enough to infringe on a trademark? I have no idea about trademark law, but it seems a bit silly.
  • I'd love to have a GNOME hat... those really kick ass :)

  • Are you thinking of OctobrX? He is the themes.org site owner. In any case, if you hate the people running a site so much, why do you bother returning?
  • Too bad they don't have any shirts other than T-Shirts... I can't get by wearing a T-Shirt to work but if they did the same kind of designs on polo type shirts I'd buy a couple.
  • Will any polo shirts be available in the future? I'd wouldn't mind having slashdot and gnome polo shirts.
  • If you like Linux Journal, they have a polo shirt with their logo on it. I'd rather have a Slashdot or GNOME polo though. How about it guys?

    this is a joke right?

    I agree with you 100%. I would have bought their shirt with the Copyleft logo on it, if it didn't have the whole GPL on the back. I don't have anything against the GPL, but putting the whole license on their is too blunt. I need subtlety. A shirt with just the backwards (C) would have been great.

    did you hear that copyleft?

  • They should of had thier 'Grand Opening' of Gnome products when they had a little bigger selection to choose from... Oh well, you can't have a gnome and beat him too :-)
  • yep. the copyleft t's are going to stop having the gpl on the back with our next batch and we're doing 3 new /. designs in a little bit (after the current inventory starts dwidling).
