Yes, you are accurate.  There is plenty of work to do on the merchandising
front.  The good news: there have been some recent conversations about
improving that very thing.

Recently I was visiting the KDE shop to see what you guys had and I<br>
have to say that I was quite underwhelmed. There wasn&#39;t that many<br>
products available and most of them are just too generic (most designs<br>
are just the KDE logo). Also this store is very Europe centric and the<br>
shipping is too expensive for people in the rest of the world. I<br>
suggest that you guys make a cafe press store and introduce more<br>
merchandise. I think this is very important for the promotion of KDE<br>
and for its overall health since selling goodies can be a good source<br>
of income for the project. I say this because I love KDE and I would<br>
like to see more people switching from Mac and Windows to Linux or any<br>
other free OS. Also I want to take this chance to say that I can&#39;t<br>
wait for KDE 4.2 and it looks extremely awesome. Thanks for your hard<br>
work :)<br>
<br>
P.S Some foss project stores from which you could borrow ideas from is<br>
the Mozilla and Ubuntu stores.<br>
