For the Free Software Foundation's Summer Fundraiser, the 'GNU Press Shop' is Open (fsf.org) 5
The Free Software Foundation is a non-profit — and they're having some fun with it.
They've just announced a summer fundraiser, "and that means the GNU Press Shop is open!" From now until July 28, you can buy your FSF gear at the GNU Press shop. First and foremost, there's the launch of the FSF's fortieth anniversary shirt in a summery yellow. We're taking orders for a limited time for these (until July 28), and then printing them — you should have yours on your shoulders a few weeks after the shop closes.
We've also restocked some favorites in the shop:
- A fresh batch of the popular Ada & Zangemann: A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream book by Matthias Kirschner from the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). This tale of software, skateboards, and raspberry ice cream teaches kids how neat and exciting it is having control over your software, a perfect fun summer read!
- Reading is hard in the glaring sun, so shade your eyes with a freshly restocked GNU baseball cap in pitch black with brilliant gold embroidery. These are great for wearing anywhere, especially to free software events.
- For privacy, protect yourself from surveillance with ease and panache with this slick webcam guard.
We also hope you'll consider becoming an FSF associate member, putting yourself at the heart of our commitment to ensuring a world where all software respects our freedom and dignity. Plus, you'll help us reach our summer fundraising goal of 200 new associate members before July 11, and of course you'll also receive a 20% discount at the GNU Press Shop. A note about shipping: the GNU Press shop opens periodically, and we collect all orders during this time and schedule orders to be sent out on specific shipping dates with the help of volunteers. We will be doing the shipping at the end of the FSF's fundraiser, which means there will be a delay between placing your order and receiving it...
If you happen to be in the Boston area in July, and would like to support the FSF's work, we are looking for volunteers to help pack and ship our orders.
Also on sale are the book "Free as in Freedom 2.0" (Richard Stallman's 2010 revision of the 2002 biography by Sam Williams with extensive additional commentary) and "Free Software Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman" (the 3rd edition published in 2015).
And there's also several other books, t-shirts, other FSF-branded gear, and even a sticker that warns people "There is no cloud... just other people's computers."

Question? (Score:5, Funny)
Are the shirts washable? I asked RMS but he didn’t know.

I don't care who you are, that's funny!
So now you just straight-up reprint ads? (Score:3)
This copy reads like a FSF mass-mailed advertisement or you just copied the page off their website - why? You could just give them free advertising space you know...
But I must admit, the joke about RMS not knowing if the shirts are washable WAS funny!
