I took the last year by someone of TOR. to be clear. And sorry, if my
english can sounds a bit strict.
I took last year:
- 10 because to buy all together are too much expensive ( near 150 euro)
- it's an year that I try to give the money to the german guy and I'm
near to be a stalker of him.
and for last: the t.shirts didn't come in time for the event.. but this
is just unluck.

So, I thought to print by myself, not in organic cotton but printed in
handmake silkprint, so a part of the cost is "fair" .. because give
money directly to a small group of workers. But the cotton is not fair
trade.
And so sell the tshirt during hackmeeting.. I'm in the italian
translator team and speaking of tails during hackmeeting is good for me.
And have the t-shirts it's nice but I can also survive without.

And also because is good to meet the people of the others hacklabs that
stay in italy and spread that TAILS exist.

More or less is not for the money but to spread the knowledge about
TAILS in our community, to have more contributors.
Sure we will send to TAILS the money that we earn by the tshirt.

We also thought to design a bit different to not to be mixed with the
"official" ones, that you gift to the big donors.

:)
ciao
