Unfortunately I know nothing about how it was done in previous years,
but I will take responsibility for the conference T-shirts this year.
Please subscribe to the guadec-planning mailing list as well, if you
haven't done so already.

I'm in the process of retrieving sponsor logos and the graphic design
for the conference shirts. Also, I have requested quotations for printed
T-shirts from a couple of local providers.

As for the other materials, I'd suggest taking plain reusable GNOME logo
gadgets. Baseball caps, for instance, are for sale at zazzle.com.

Last year at FOSDEM there were lots of nice small round GNOME stickers
that you can put on your laptop. I don't know where they came from.
