Ideally the t-shirt should not rely on a viewer needing to engage in a
discussion, though.  It would be ideal if the t-shirt could also spark
enough interest in a viewer to notice the brands and investigate them
further even when there is no opportunity for a conversation.

So, I would appreciate any further thoughts or suggestions on how to
best craft some text to get the right message across.

Though, if we are going to have a tshirt ready for GUADEC, we probably
should figure this out a bit quickly.  I'll give people a deadline of
the end of the week to make suggestions.  I think the existing text is
not bad, and I think it is only worth changing if there is real interest
in discussing this.
