Swag is very able to be budgeted and there is definitely funding
available for this. The APAC budget currently has over $4500 available and more can be
asked for from the council.
In LATAM they are looking at following the model EMEA (and I believe NA) use where a lot
of swag is ordered at one time and then shipped as needed. While I realize that APAC is
both large and has greater shipping/customs issues, I believe that we could work together
to increase quality and reduce costs. LATAM is doing this and I am happy to help APAC do
this. We have money and assistance from Red Hat to do this.

Bex,
We have been discussing and running a central production for swags in APAC since FAD Phnom
Penh. And we've been doing central production for DVDs and stickers in 2015 ~ 2016
IIRC. All these are produced in India and sent to other places. China is the only
exception as we face unresolvable regulation issue. That is why I suggest the reporter to
confirm with PJP first, as PJP helped with swgas last year and they both live in India.
Budget wise, we had budget planning meetings before. However that is totally another
story.
