[CoLoCo] "Official" CoLoCo Shirts - it's time to decide

[Neal McBurnett]

Howdy, and thanks for the ideas, Ken!

I updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ColoradoTeam/Tshirts
with more ideas, including these:

Parameters for the shirt:
    * Normal durable t-shirt with logo and catchphrase
      on the front. Bonus points for stuff on the back also.
    * Silkscreening or the like. No decals.

Colors:
   1. White
   2. Black
   3. Brown

Phrases:
   1. Linux for Human Beings
   2. Open Source: the difference between Trust and Anti-Trust
   3. Coloco
          * front: (Coloco logo) Linux for human beings
          * back: Colorado LOCO: Community Supported Computer Fun
   4. Ubuntu:
         People are people through other people
         Free software, free society. Share freely.
   5. Free software, Free society
   6. Share and share alike
   7. [WWW] My recipes are open source. Why shouldn't my code be open
      source too?
   8. [WWW] My mom taught me to share
