Hey Sri,

I'll just respond to the trademark and merchandise questions here,
since that's what I'm most familiar with.

This is the second new trademark agreement that we have in progress.
Both are in the final stages of being finalised.

I'll definitely let the Engagement Team know when each new agreement
is completed, and had planned on spreading the word on social media.
Also, once we have these new agreements signed, I was wondering about
whether we should have a page on gnome.org, with links to the various
stores.

Maybe talk to Andreas about doing that via our Zazzle store? It
shouldn't be too hard.
