Hello all,
I hope my comment doesn't count as an influx ;-)
I think it's sensible to have co-branding where possible. We do need to promote ourselves as a chapter as much as the projects, in some ways.
The mugs that David mentioned (we still have some left if anyone would like one!) are a really good example of this.
Thanks,
Stevie

We should consider that this isn't merchandise for sale, but giveaway
swag - chapters can't sell merchandise (yet), just give it away. (Go
visit WMUK and get away without a coffee mug.)
