As an avid Fedora user and participant(artwork and website lists), I think Fedora could benefit from a bigger list of merchandise, and some more emphasis on its availability. That said, I browsed the redhat brandfuelstores website and came up with a small list of items that I would like to see Fedora's brand on, and would certainly consider purchasing the items with available funding. I feel that getting some merchandise out there would be a good subtle way to advertise the OS and hopefully get people talking.

I don't know about you, but this would quickly replace my current travel mug, and I am an avid coffee drinker.

However, this idea has me questioning exactly how much crossover to Redhat it would create.

See "Ergo Mug" description, except for when sitting at home.
Now, I'm not saying that merchandise should come to the forefront of priority or anything, but could be a good side project to work on when things slow down. Plus I feel it would be a smart move with all of the press that Linux has been garnering lately and how it's moving up in the OS world.
Any thoughts and ideas are welcome.
