Coming Soon…the Mozilla Community Store

A few weeks ago, Tara mentioned that we’re open-sourcing our t-shirt process in the form of the soon-to-be-live Mozilla Community Store. The basic concept is that anyone will be able to design a Mozilla t-shirt and both order it for themselves and make it publicly available for others to buy. I’ve always been impressed by our community’s creativity, so our hope is that over time we’ll build up quite a collection of designs.

We’ve already seeded the new store with 40+ of our favorite designs from last spring’s Firefox 3 t-shirt contest and our amazing Web Dev and QA teams are in the process of getting it ready for launch. Should be good.

The exact go-live date is still being determined, but in the meantime here are a couple of pictures for your enjoyment:

Looking forward!

Are there any plans to make Shiretoko themed wallpapers and posters as for Bon Echo and Gran Paradiso?

Thanks Percy. Good question about the Shiretoko stuff…that’s something we’ll probably play by ear.

My guess is that we’ll end up doing the wallpaper but maybe not a poster (and of course we can add any designs to the Community Store if people want t-shirts!). Ultimately we’ll do whatever people want.

Sounds interesting!

Although, I would love to see the shipping charges drop to Canada.

I got a quote today. $36.00 in shipping from Gateway CDI e-commerce partner in Missouri. The Firefox poster cost $8. Canada Post’s shipping calculator shows that if I were sending it from my home to Missouri I could do it for as cheap as $9.

Big turn off :(
