Hi :) That sounds like an excellent strategy. It's likely to help boost LibreOffice's presence at conferences and raise 'our' profile with whoever else goes along to such conferences for other projects. Also people who go mainly for LibreOffice also get to see other projects. There are some quite nice t-shirts and things that could be worn at such events to make LibreOffice more visible but i think it's important to also have a suit&tie contingent (i think there is a tie-pin or tie-design somewhere in marketing). Regards from Tom :)
