Hi :) It would be even nicer if people could sell such things to make enough money to cover their costs. If they could make enough money to help support the costs of running the stand, travel, expenses, and to be able to start saving up for when equipment, banners and other relevant stuff needs replacing.
Most companies charge people a fortune to be able to wear their logo and advertise their product. How much do people pay for a Nike t-shirt or a Rock band's t-shirt? It is great that you guys are getting stuff out there but perhaps any left-overs could be sold through the website? Perhaps people might be encouraged to take pride in their LibreOffice free t-shirt if they later found it for sale on a website for quite a lot of money. It might also encourage more people to turn up to similar events in the future or people in other countries to go to events nearer them.

Nice to see that T-shirts and hats are given away. Vitório sounds like a very resourceful member. We are lucky to have him with LibreOffice. Nice to hear of FISL and it looks like it is well attended by the photos taken by the team.
