We have FFmpeg designs for T-Shirts and Hoodies.
 From the last badge we ordered there are still plenty of T-Shirts.

I'd sent around a large badge vial mail all over the world some years 
ago and if there is enough demand I could do that again.

Also I could bring stuff to FOSDEM or other cons for distribution if I'd 
know the demand from developers.
We had occasionally some stuff with us to give away to users. However 
this is not very practical for anything where we'd need to hop into a 
plane for due to weight & space restrictions. Always having some swag to 
give away would produce costs for us.
