Certainly a T-shirt, but also a record-bag kind of thing would be nice, as long as it's good quality (and there's the problem as this will cost more). Perhaps something to buy and have delivered later on.

I must admit I don't have much use for stickers or baseball caps (cricket hat perhaps ;)) and really branding USB sticks is a bit of a waste of money considering that they sit in your pocket for most of their lives and are so cheap that no-one really needs a freebie.

Agreed. Most goodies/freebies are either useless or too cheap to use, and tend to get lost in drawers. USB sticks and other gadgets are a dime a dozen anyway.

What I expect from the summit is interesting content, meeting people, having a lot of fun... like last year. Bringing back an expensive or original present is not part of it.

What I need is a *souvenir*, something that will stay around for a while and remind me of that special occasion from time to time. T-shirts work just fine for this, as they can be used by all the family. Stickers are good too. So I guess same as last year would be good enough for me (especially as that new 'Timsamoff' brand is going to be a collector someday :-)

Someday?! :p

I do like the idea of a bag -- it was brought up before. But, I'm pretty sure they're cost prohibitive. Still, I'll try to find a vendor and see how much they'd be. So far, only one vote, though, so let's see if others like the idea.

Hey, if it was a DEVICE bag, I'd change my vote! :D

I like the idea of something that is actually useful to use -- definitely t-shirts, maybe even a baseball cap.

I get the impression many people outside the US don't "get" ball caps.

Every time I went to Finland, seems I was the only person wearing one... and got a lot of smirks because of it I think. :o

Seriously? Even with the global popularity of hip hop?

Maybe it's just me then :p

And I encountered zero hip hop in Helsinki. Mostly metal.
