| # THE HAIKU PROJECT AND FREEWEAR LAUNCH OFFICIAL HAIKU MERCHANDISE | ||
| The Haiku Project launched its official merchandise today in partnership with FreeWear, an online free and open-source software (FOSS) merchandising store and print shop. The partnership will allow The Haiku Project to offer a new way for people to financially contribute to the development of Haiku whilst getting a physical item in return for their gratitude. Donations greatly contribute to initiatives such as the recent development contract, which is allowing waddlesplash, a respected Haiku contributor, to make further general improvements to Haiku, such as system improvements, new and refined drivers and more. The partnership will mean that a portion of merchandise sales is donated to the Haiku Project, allowing The Project to continue funding both the development contract, pay for ongoing costs such as server hosting, and the chance to pursue other initiatives. |

(just to clarify, because we already had an official cafepress store)

Does Haiku, Inc. hold a copy of the login credentials for FreeWear? We'll need access for oversight + tax reporting. |

@pulkomandy I think with the Beta3 release we did this too, but you have a good point - what I'll do is I'll remove the parts more relevant to the press release as you suggested, plus add those extra points on Freewear's benefits. As to whether we should call it "new" official merchandise, most people don't seem to know that a Cafepress store exists, plus the fact that we're launching it already implies it's new. |

@kallisti5 Yeah, what I've been doing actually for all the Inc stuff is conversing with @leavengood on the Haiku forums, I actually raised this with him and it was determined that the login would need to be sent through some encrypted platform (I know the Inc uses KeyBase). Would sending it to you through Matrix work? I've just sent an invite on there. |
