Mission
The Store SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group of Fedora contributors working to create a turnkey swag solution for the Fedora Project.

Specific goals

 * 1) Making it easier for Ambassadors and event organizers to get swag in bulk, for a good price, and for reasonable shipping charges.
 * 2) Making it easy for users who just want one or two items to get them, again without crazy shipping fees.
 * 3) Making it as easy and automated as possible for designers to create new products.
 * 4) Not having to do any physical distribution or order processing ourselves.
 * 5) Providing an international service.
 * 6) Being transparent regarding money.

Open action items
We will cover all open action items at each meeting.


 * Create mockup / requirements  page on the wiki that starts laying out ideas for what a store.fedoraproject.org could look like. JeffreyTadlock has contacted the Art Team via mailing list and the  Web Page Request  for help on a mockup.
 * Continue to narrow down which vendor we should proceed with. (Everyone)
