I just don't want to see anyone, be it the council or a select individual, who winds up holding that fabulous T-shirt income (yes, all $62.58 of it) become the target of accusations of misappropriation.
Two possibilities do occur to me:Having looked into CafePress for the first time, I see they have a "base price" (their take) and allow the storefront owner to set prices per item above that, determining profit. Can profit be set at zero, with item pricing equal to the base price? If so, that could be a solution. The Help section at CafePress offers a link to their base price list, so at any time, anyone could confirm the maemo.org store wasn't lining the pockets of anyone but CafePress. If a CafePress-like alternative that allows for sending profits directly to charity were found, we could use that. Direct the money toward the Linux Foundation or EFF or what-have-you and call it a day. I don't know that such place exists though.
