I wanted to comment on this bug: Regarding trusted organizations and the web site: not all of them sell merchandise. The trusted organizations should be listed on http://www.debian.org/donations There is bug #634986 already for which I'll accept ownership.
Regarding the merchandise web page: I believe it's important to express whether a vendor donates parts of their revenues to Debian. I think we're all in agreement that this makes sense. The only disagreement I see is how to sort the organizations: - One proposal is to divide the page into two: those organizations that donate to Debian and those that do not. - Another proposal is to have 3 categories: Debian trusted orgs (which sell merchandise), vendors that donate to Debian, and vendors that do not. - And Zack suggested sorting by % donated to Debian. Personally, I'd just divide the page into two but I can see the argument for 3 categories. I agree with Luca that sorting by percentage is over-engineered. I'm also fine with Francesca's proposal to add notes describing whether they donate (but I'd prefer those that donate to be listed first.) In any case, this is just a minor detail and I think it should be decided by the merchandise folks (i.e. Francesca and Luca). I think the next steps are: - For the merchandise folks to contact those vendors to see if they make donations to Debian (and if so how: to SPI, to ffis, etc?) - For the accounting people: check if we've received donations from the vendors that claim to donate to us. - For the merchandise folks to pick one of the proposals above and change the web page. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-www-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
