I'm willing to pay for at least a shirt for myself, size Large
depending on how their sizing goes. We should get sizes for everyone
that wants them and make an order with a few extra for volunteers.
It's relatively cheap advertising. I bet more than a few people would
be willing to pay for them and we can find some creative ways to pay
for the rest.

It would also be nice to set up a system where they can be ordered,
which I assume is one of the reasons the free shirts were offered from
ooshirts.com. I also would like to support local businesses and look
forward to learning more about this company as we work with them. I
wonder if we know any of them from local Linux related community
meetings already...

Cheers,
