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 :-)

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!
