We need to get on top of ordering swag for the upcoming events in 2012 now so let's focus our next meeting on making decisions about what swag we need to order and in what quantities.
If you have strong opinions on swag that we need it wouldn't hurt to start making the list here in the ticket prior to the next meeting.
Per this meeting log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2012-04-18/famna.2012-04-18-01.00.log.html

I would like to approve (or at least consider approving) funding for a hunk of this during the meeting this week. If we could be prepared with at least reasonable estimates for t-shirts, buttons, pens, laptop stickers, and case badges that would be a great start!
FYI: 50k stickers from StickerGiant (30k for Ambassadors, 20k for Red Hat) are estimated to ship from Stickergiant on 5/21. The cost was just short of $3k, but is being paid for out of non-Regional support budget (in other words, from a different, kind benefactor inside of Red Hat).
The invoice for the pens was paid on 5/14/2012. Invoice total was $2,045.11. Gary Austin Advertising said the pens would be processed in approx. 3 days and then shipped out to the address on the invoice.
1500 Fedora (1 inch) buttons were ordered on 5/24. The order was completed and shipped on 6/4.
Who paid for case badges? Was that Stabby?
Replying to [comment:8 rbergero]:
I think we identified dgilmore as the culprit.
This ticket has largely been addressed but I wanted to kick it back to another meeting to see if we could get anywhere on t-shirts and possibly some new swag items before closing it.
Sent an inquiry to Brian to check on getting another batch of splatter t-shirts including some suitable for women tonight. Will update when I get further information.
Received quotes on shirts today. Pricing ranges from $6.10 - $7.85 depending on size. Working up a distribution of sizes/cuts now and will propose a purchase soonish.
From 12-12-2012 FAmNA meeting
T-shirts have arrived, but invoice payment is pending. Once payment is complete inode0 will close this ticket. per 1/22/2013 meeting
Payment was made last week.
