[Catalyst] Catalyst merchandise

[Mike Whitaker]

After a bit of discussion on IRC, and some tweaking in Illustrator,  
we present (with thanks to jshirley for finding the EPS version of  
the logo!):

The Catalyst Online Store - http://www.cafepress.com/catalystdev

Your home for Catalyst t-shirts, caps, mugs, and mousemats.

In the interests of getting things up and having folks wearing the  
logo out in the field, I've set this up using CafePress because it's  
quick and easy.

Prices start at $11.99 + p&p for a value t-shirt, more for the better  
quality ones. Most items are set up at a markup of $2 over base cost  
from CafePress.

It's not my intention to make any personal profit out of this, and  
I'm very keen for that to be /seen/ to be the case. I'll be  
presenting a regular (monthly) statement of sales to the mailing  
list, and my intention is that that money be held to fund things for  
Catalyst development, be it monetary bounties (or a t-shirt) for  
adding a feature, grants to get folks to conventions if it would  
benefit Catalyst, etc. I will, in general, seek the advice of the  
core devs before handing funds out.

Note that for conventions, I (as the listed owner) can get a bulk  
discount on multiple (15+) orders of the same item (mix of sizes ok)  
for sale at a convention. From choice, I'd prefer to do this by  
taking money out of the store profits ('CafeCash') to front up for it  
rather than my own credit card, but talk to me if you need to work  
something out.

It's open - so get buying, support Catalyst development, and help  
spread the word. Catalyst teams? Go lean on your boss...
