We've started this project to create nice looking #swag to promote #FLOSS projects out there (even the smallest ones), and to share the profits form sold #merchandise with those projects. Some of you might remember us from last year's campaign where we crowdfunded and produced some #shirts. Due to other priorities and some complications, we had to suspend the project for some time, until today. During the last weeks we've been working on setting up our new web-shop and preparing for the re-launching of the project.
Especially for the re-launch all shirts are now 10% off! As always 50% of the profit will be shared with the projects each #t-shirt represent. Our shirts are made from #fair-trade #organic cotton where decent living wages are paid to the workers. Our designs are hand #silkscreen printed using water-based inks, giving the best quality, no peeling nor plastic feel.
Soon after the crowd-funding campaign we've realized that outsourcing the shirt printing process is very expensive when producing for such a niche market (unfortunately #FOSS folks ain't mainstream). Especially when we want to be able to produce small amounts for the tiniest projects out there. We are now able to use a small friendly silk screen print-shop which is great as long as it lasts - sadly, gentrification will soon force closure upon that location. Our goal and most desired situation is to run a small scale print-shop in our own home workshop. Therefor any initial profits from the relaunch will go into the equipment we need to become fully independent, allowing us utter freedom which is the fuel for real creativity.
We hope this time around we will manage to be more determent, more active and make the project a long lasting success with new (surprising) designs for more projects.

I'm server jumping. You can find my new account at @muppeth
just came back home after 14h spent in the office. very hard day considering i missed a weekend, but very worth it.
moved the server to lxc containers managed by ansible. plus deployed new OS on all office desktops in automated fashion with PXE net boot and auto deploy scripts. fucking awesome!
Hello world :) Just stood up a Mastodon instance for Matrix.org with a view to bridging between Mastodon & Matrix!
just spent 14 hours on migrating stuff at work from single host single partition #server , hosting a lot of stuff (mail, websites, ldap, kerberos, nfs etc), to nice lxc setup where each service has its own container, all managed by #ansible .
that was a long day. tomorrow desktop migration
#sysadmin never sleeps 😃

We started #aptgetshirt only making sustainable T-shirts. Soon after we started thinking of other gadgets we could be producing and offering for sale. We recently added 3D-printed mobile/tablet stands and since we enjoyed the process so much we decided we should make more stuff. Now we are brainstorming ideas for other new products. We would like to hear what other gadgets YOU would like to see carrying the logos of your favorite projects.

Needs to be done today.
We’ve been working on new ideas for our everything-opensource #lootcrate, and ended up with a new object getting a perk of its own. Check the new mobile/tablet stand perk on our campaign.

#3dprinting with ABS platsic requires extra care and attention. That's why here at R&D department of #aptgetshirt we've designed and crafted perfect tool to keep your print warm during the process. We consulted with NASA engineers and incorporated some of Cosmic technology into our design too.
Thermo Chamber 3000 is what you're looking for when printing with ABS plastics.
We'll ship it to everyone ordering #lootcrate gratis: https://igg.me/at/aptgetshirt
