I got the black baseball cap a while ago and I love the conversations that it starts. Linux people, regardless of distro, ask "You Ubuntu?", and non-Linux people ask "what is Ubuntu?".

Then there are the looks I catch every so often that doesn't make it to any conversation.

Does the international site ship to the Great North? I only saw prices listed in US, Pounds and Euro... a shirt might be nice.

Is the "I do it with Ubuntu" supposed to have a sexual connotation? just asking.

Anything said or read can (and often will) be warped into some kind of sexual reference.


I call it a talent. :lolflag:

I have an Ubuntu lanyard - good for hanging my MP3 player round my neck.

EDIT (4 days later): bumped into an acquaintance who spotted the lanyard...... nice little chat which could have gone on longer if he hadn't been on his way to the bus and my mouth wasn't numbed up from having just had a filling (and two teeth out last week).

Well just got my hat today, dead pleased, good quality and good fit :D.

Will definitely be using the store again next payday (or whenever they next get some more ubuntu mugs in stock!!).

I've been wanting to get one of those messenger bags for a while now, but they're quite expensive. I still haven't made up my mind as to whether or not I should actually get them.

I picked up a t-shirt for my girlfriend and one for myself from the shop. I also picked up 3 lanyards which took FOREVER to get here. I had ordered them back in (start) February and my girlfriends birthday was in April.. I didn't get anything until late May.

Lesson learned: I enjoy the products, but don't order something if you expect it right away :(

I still wear the t-shirt almost every week, and I have the "made with bamboo" black lanyard holding onto my keys, also sported by my beaner, which I use on a daily basis.

Some really cool looking stuff in the shop now though :)

I would have killed a flock of sheep for one of the limited edition Hardy Heron t-shirts, but I didn't notice they had them on sale until after they were sold out. I might get a mug one day.

I bought an Ubuntu tshirt from the store a couple of months ago - it only took 2 weeks to ship it here to Australia as well which was impressive, and the garment quality is excellent \\:D/

If you get one, let us know what you think of it. I've looked at them and also balked at the price and wonder if they are worth it or not.

:neutral: You should probably try to contact someone about that. I'm sure they would send you out a new one ASAP.

Not till they offer paypal. I did buy a messenger bag with Ubuntu logo from another store ages ago, can't remember where though.

Wonder why they don't sell metallic stickers with the Ubuntu logo on, to replace the windows ones on our machines

I bought a hoody that I wear a lot. It's OK. I mainly wanted to throw some money in Canonical's direction and promote Ubuntu.

Got a hat and a lanyard, but they were all out of teeshirts at the time... want a hoodie and a teeshirt too. Not that I needed any of it, but just to support the project.

I was at a party last night and I was getting ready to go, someone noticed my lanyard. Of course it's `one of these (http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=410&osCsid=76053853e4ae31d4d7c3fb6576981398) and it sparked a 30 minute conversation about Ubuntu, Linux, and Windows 7. I can't wait to get my new stuff in the mail. I ordered the new stuff in the middle of July and it still is "being processed for delivery abroad"

Ordered many stuff 2 months ago (about 100 €).
I still did not received anything yet and I'am very disapointed cause there is no way to contact canonical by phone.

I let 2 inquiries on the canonical store but they did not answer anything.

This is a very bad point when you try to sell support services !!!!

They offer Paypal now.

I just ordered 5 Kubuntu pens for work (the Ubuntu pens were out of stock), a mug and a polo shirt.

The very next day, they introduced the new black caps (which I had wanted) and halved the price of the Kubuntu pens! Oh well... I'll get a cap some other time.

Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to System76 and they will send you Four 'Powered by Ubuntu' stickers and Four 'Ubuntu Key' stickers.

Information here (http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9).

I sent 2 envelopes to System76. I live in Canada, so I of course used their BC address.

That was a year ago. Are there any other sources? :(

When you mentioned Ubuntu Store I was thinking of the Ubuntu One Music Store :) I've purchased a few songs through there already, but nothing from the online store with shirts and such. I'd love to get an Ubuntu Mug if they have one. I've about worn out my Linux.org mug I've had for years.
