My estimation was based on my experience from Desktop Summit 2011 where
I volunteered and we only got one t-shirt (at least I did).
If we want to give everyone a t-shirt for each day, I have no problem to
produce 150 or more. It's just a matter of budget. The t-shirts are
pretty cheap - €2.43 each.

That's pretty neat, we usually pay closer to €7-8 each! Yeah, you should've gotten more at the DS, we could only give out 1-2 each on the first day, but people could come back after the reprint run to pick up more.
