Hi all,
We're thinking about making T-shirts with open-source telecom. I've posted a call for ideas in my OpenBTS blog - please contribute. Telecom needs more openness and you could help us promote this! http://openbts.chemeris.ru/2012/10/reklama-open-source-telecom/
We plan to give them for free to the first 10-20 UmTRX buyers. Then you'll be able to buy them from our web-shop or from one of our friends and distributors.
If you proposal gets printed, you'll get a free T-shirt as well.
PS If you know a good online T-shirt printing service in US or Europe - drop me a line. I've never done this in US/Europe before.

Hello UmTRX list. We've started a discussion about open source telecom t-shirts. From Alexander:
I think we should start making t-shirts to support open-source telecom (and our project). I've posted a call for ideas in my Russian blog - please contribute! In English too! http://openbts.chemeris.ru/2012/10/reklama-open-source-telecom/

How about a visual Open Source Telecom T-shirt?
Yes, that would be great!
Icon of a cell phone + Open Source Hardware Logo = Smiley Face or some similarly happy icon
Hum, i don't like equations like this, but we could play with this idea.
Just the first thought that popped into my head. I'm not overly attached to it. I'm sure someone can up with a better visual representation of Open Source Telecom.
It would require no translation.... Or you could print Open Source
Telecom
(I would not hyphenate) in Russian, English, French, Spanish, Swahili
etc. on the back.
Problem is that at least in Russian there are no really good good translation for "open-source". :(
You should create a word.
Also, avoid black and white t-shirts.
You mean background color? Why? I love white t-shirts :)
Yes, background color. I like white t-shirts too, but I always spill coffee on them. A slightly darker shade, say grey, masks stains.

Thinking more, I think we could use "Открытое ПО" in Russian. Have to find out this in other languages.
Also, avoid black and white t-shirts.

Great reasoning! :)
