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.

Could be redesigned a little bit to include some quote or promo line
relating to Fedora. I know there are some available

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

Technically I already have a navy blue fedora hat that I got from
amazon, but if we could get one with an official Fedora
blue color, I think people would really consider it. However, this idea
has me questioning exactly how much crossover to
Redhat it would create.

A hip style among todays youth and future Linux users.

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.
