hi Guys,
the last time we had some TShirts sponsored, I asked for who wanted it - and had to parse emails coming in, match sizes, check postage issues and email followups to people. It wasent easy, and took a fair bit of time. And in the end, I had to limit emails down to only those people who actually got Tshirts sent to them.
For the 70 odd Tshirts I had, there were 500+ requests.
We are going to be getting some more TShirts in the next few days - and this time they are split between two designs, and multiple colours and different sizes (ofcourse). It would be great if there was some s/w that could be installed on one of our machines that would allow us to add the tshirt quantities and sizes and colours in, and then let people essentially check-out.
The shirts are sponsored, the postage + packaging isnt. So people would still need to come up with a bit of money ( it should be quite nominal ).
I'm also talking to someone locally about sponsoring beer and coffee mugs and a few other things ( its essentially what they do - make glassware for large brands ). So this might be an ongoing thing.
So, my questions : is there anyone who can help with the online admin side of things ? is there any recommended software that we can use ?[1]
regards,

[1]: I did think of a github repo, and ask people to merge request and do it in that way, but that has no way for people to find out if their size / colour / style is available and also most people would not want their postal address and contact details in a public repo.

Wouldn't any shopping cart work for this purpose?

What are the chances you might be willing ( and have a bit of time ) to setup one of these and help with that side of things ? I've never looked at / into anything of this nature before and really dont have the time to do so right now.

Hi KB, I'll have a go if you don't mind. Only just saw your email now. I've never setup any of these though I imagine it won't be much different to the usual web app setup.

Excellent, and thanks!
I've got a VM earmarked for this, lets sync up on irc/offlist email and get a suiteable hosting resource setup and we can take it from there.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for Khusro's efforts, we now have http://promo.centos.org/ online ( and there are still some T-Shirts there .. )

There are some problems with hosting company, so that site is at the moment inaccessible.

I haven't recently looked into those carts either :) Unless someone with more/any shopping cart experience wants to step up I'll be happy to set one up. Will follow up with you offline.
