Maile Urbancic is the co-founder and former CTO of the non-profit Partimus.org and founder of Boutique Academia, a business she founded to sell math, science, and technology themed accessories for women. Back in March she contacted the current Partimus crew to let us know that she had received permission from Canonical to begin producing Ubuntu earrings based on this draft:
The Ubuntu earrings are now a reality! You can now get your very own for $18 (plus shipping and tax, where applicable).
Best of all, Boutique Academia will be graciously donating $6 per pair to Partimus.org to help the efforts of Partimus, which works on deploying and maintaining Ubuntu labs in San Francisco Bay Area schools and beyond.
So pick up some earrings for yourself or a loved one, and help out public schools using Ubuntu at the same time!
I just placed an order for a pair of my own :)
Partimus is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit in the United States, details for how to donate directly can be found here. Please request a donation receipt if you need it for a tax exemption. Be sure to visit Partimus.org or contact me directly at lyz@partimus.org for more details about the work we do.

How much for just one? ;)

Pendants people, pendants. Maybe if I could add something to the corporate logos on my altar, that’d be cool. But I can’t wear those earrings, to heavy for my ear.
And I’d suspect thats the question about just one….

The earrings are super, super light. I have delicate skin and I *love* the earrings I have gotten from Maile’s shop. She really knows design.
They are *light*.
