When it comes to swag, in some cases it is cheaper and easier if the
groups prepare a budget that the Foundation later finances. The
rationale: manufacturing t-shirts, bags, stickers, etc. is cheaper in
places like Latin America than the US or Europe, and sending money is
usually cheaper than sending a heavy box with stuff.

AFAIK, this is what has been done for GNOME Chile in the previous years,
I suspect that for other places it can work well too. Germán probably
knows more details.
