Certainly. Do we want to maintain a list of vendors on the wiki or?

The first question in my mind is: What kind of volume are we talking about?

I can imagine that we might want to print up a lot of cheap white
t-shirts with the LibreOffice logo on the front and hand them out to,
say, campus or community reps, but year-specific or version-specific
designs would only be applicable to 1 or 2 print runs. Setup costs
could definitely be more expensive in that case.

Does US-Marketing have any specific plans in the next 6 months to
print up some swag? At the very least, I think it could be great to do
a bulk purchase of three items like
- T-shirts
- Stickers
- Patches

...and then sell them at cost (or a slight subsidy?) to volunteers who
wanted to do something local in their community. I'd love to have a
small LibreOffice sticker to slap on my laptop and a LibreOffice patch
to put on my bag or on a baseball hat.
