Could someone on the gnome-uk list volunteer to do this? I'm pretty 
tied up with Guadec and other stuff at the moment.

We've obviously got Guadec here this year, but if anyone wants to 
organise gnome related speakers or t-shirts for a lug or something, it 
looks like the foundation should be able to help out. Perhaps this is 
something we could advertise to lugs as a service? Does any one think 
their local lug might be interested in hearing someone talk about 
gnome, or ordering some gnome merchandise?
