I personally want to get this moving forward from talk to action.

After the Maemo Summit 2009, which had custom swag created as one would expect, we suddenly see new, smaller events in Denmark, Spain and the US. Belgium (FOSDEM) will be on us in no time. Also I am slated to represent Maemo to a group of open source developers in Dallas in a few weeks. I naturally expect more to follow, increasingly so.

I realize there's too little time to do something for imminent events, but we really, really need some sort of Maemo and/or maemo.org branded swag for meetups.

I have attended S60 and general mobility meetups where companies like Adobe had shirts, caps and knick-knack items to hand out-- all branded. To increase Maemo adoption momentum, and start drawing developers from other platforms, we need the same sort of presence and seeding activity.

I am perfectly willing to be the voluntary Maemo advocate for Texas and will attend every open source event I can to spread the word. I can effectively cover north Texas and Austin as well, with occasional Houston and/or San Antonio forays. BUT-- I'm gonna need branded items and flyers (I can create the latter).

So... how do we get the matter of Maemo/maemo.org swag out of the virtual mud?

And yes, I understand this gets into Nokia budget territory...
