Damn, i cant donate nor buy Zen T-shirts...I am an Indian, so no credit card i have to pay for paypal thingy... :( :(

I am a Fin and would like very much to give a donation to Zenwalk group and buy T-shirts etc. The problem is, that I do not have a credit card. Most people in Finland have it, but I am married and my wife does not allow me to have a credit card :'(

Pay Pal does not help because as much as I understand, to get their account, a credit card is also needed. I also wonder a little, why the simple method to use bank transfers does not apply. It works well in Europe. I ones payed a membership fee to Mandriva using it.

No problem, just send me a photo of your wife ;)

I'm curious to see this girl that doesn't allow you to own a credit card

Cheers

Unfortunately  I have not yet learned Gimp enough to process the picture of my wife so that the size of the picture included as an attachment restricted to only 128 KB will be enough for her. Size matters - you know!

I bought ZW 4.2 at On Disk for two reasons : Help the distro team and have a beautiful CD.
For the first point, I didn't think I made it since quite all euros go on shipping & on disk. It took a very long time to get it (in France). When I finally received it I was a bit disappointed : the CD was in a damaged black box (no crystal, slim but more like a DVD) and the label was printed and glued on the CD ! The damage could have been done at any point between New York (point of expedition) and my city.
I hope I'm just a bad lucky boy with On Disk...

T-Shirts...mmm why not..I'll see :)

Upon examining my zen-live CDs from On-Disc I do see that the zenwalk label appears to be a sticker instead of being light scribed to the disc. I never noticed it before. The CDs look good though, and they work. Mine arrived undamaged. I am in Philadelphia, so they did not have to travel far. I think about half the cost goes to support zenwalk, which is why I bought them, to support the distro.
I don't really know how long it took since I bought mine when 4.6 first came out, and I asked them to hold the order until the 4.6 live CDs became available. They told me that would take a while, and it took a few weeks. I am satisfied with my CDs and the service from On-Disc, and I will buy more when 4.8 comes out.

Just got a Zenwalk T shirt from Cafepress & very nice it is too. Took about a week to get here (London). Recommended.

Next thing I suppose is to get a PayPal account & contribute direct... Zenwalk still knocks me out every time I use it - which is practically every day...

Keep up the great work

I would like to donate via paypal. I don't have a paypal account, yet. I'm seeking a guide on how to register a paypal account and how to use it. Since it's about money, I really want to be sure. I have never used paypal before. Any tips? English guide will do, I guess. But I'm from Sweden.

I don't think you need a guide for it, it's all pretty self-explanatory. You give them you email address (one that you will keep in the future, you can't change that afterwards - I think), provide a password (preferably a strong one) and your credit card details along with address info. That's it.

For the record, you don't need a credit card to setup a Paypal account. I have mine setup to transfer funds out of my regular bank account. All you need is your account number and bank routing number. I have a savings account that I specifically use for Paypal and I deposit money only as needed so my liability is limited. Also, don't forget that you can go to just about any local bank or Walmart and buy a prepaid Visa gift card in any dollar amount to use for online transactions. Works just like a credit card.

Just had a look at the cafepress stuff (I prefer just downloading linux thanks:) and apart from the mug and mousepad (that I will be ordering when I get my salary) I found the t-shirts rather boring:P

Could it be a good idea to make, say, a competition for Zenwalk artists where the "winner(s)" have their artwork published while the money still goes to Zenwalk?

Should prolly be more than one winner. Or the winner gets three designs published or something..?

yes, I think that there need to be more than just one winner design, I guess that 3 or 5 designs are enough
Or it could be different categories like mug design, mouse pad design, t-shirt design, wallpaper design, cd-cover design, and so on; so that the most voted design in its category gets to be published on the store, or something ???

So, who's in charge for the donations, then? I think that would be the right person to *nudge* about this idea.
