Agreed, we can bring the t-shirts topic up at some other moment. I will
take some time to separate it from the equipment wiki.

Agreed. We should start opening the tickets for the next meeting,
on January 7th

I am not sure if we do need to produce medias in Brazil: I mean, some
people don't even have dvd drivers anymore... I believe USB sticks end
up reaching more people/devices. The only question is: Should we produce
those with Fedora budget to hand to people, produce some custom sticks
for ambassadors to install on install fests OR let ambassadors use their
own usb sticks for that purpose?
