Alex, Cameron, 

"In the past made use of Café-press"
"Re-institute?"

Looking at http://www.cafepress.com/osgeo is seems to me like the online OSGeo store is still up-and-running. I suppose it's not a fake webshop that tries to capture my VISA card information ;-)


Regards, 

Gert-Jan

Seem to be the in thing at conferences these days.

+1 we should re-institute a shop for OSGeo and Foss4g stuff. Some
research should be done to find the best current place to do such things.
