Just throwing this out there as a possible source of marketing materials.

My fellow LoCoTeLes (local community team leaders ;)),

[insert big flashy spam message here]

As some of you know, I try to mass-produce sw... marketing materials for
the LoCos to make their prices as low as possible. Since I currently
have a lot of money invested in these materials (as I just spent over
$500 more on them, and it's about half my net worth :)), I'd like to get
rid of some.

= Posters =
Recently the French LoCo ordered some 50 A2 Highway to Freedom Ubuntu
posters [1] from me, and in order to get those done and make them
affordable, I had to make them in a batch of 200.
Yes, this means there are about 150 left. Each costs $3 when bought
individually [2]. I was originally afraid the shipping would cost a
zillion on these, but it appears even the 50 cm tubes fit into their
description of a 'letter', and therefore under 2 kg (and 50 posters were
1.712 kg) is rather cheap (averages at about $1 per poster)
A3 posters are still available at $1 apiece, and can be bundled with these.

= Case Badges =
Several LoCos have ordered thousands of these, so they are available at
a base price of $20/100 pcs or $100/1000 pcs including shipping [2]
These are available in variants of Ubuntu [3], Kubuntu [4], Xubuntu [5]
and Edubuntu [6]. (BTW, the price I pay for these is $0.08 apiece,
excluding shipping both to me and to you - it fits into those 2 cents at
1000 pieces :))

= Other Stickers =
I'm thinking of producing just-logo stickers with a transparent
background (in fact, no background at all). They look great on laptop
lids and elsewhere. I am trying to find out what the demand on these
would be - please let me know if you are interested. I plan an 8 cm
diameter.

Anything extra is treated as a donation [7].
