Jeff,
I take full credit for last year's T-shirt (or, should I say, last year's T-shirt fiasco :-) ... It was, um, the best of a bad situation. The problem was that we promised the sponsors that they would have their logos on the T-shirt and then we ended up with a lot of sponsors. We couldn't retract that promise which meant that we ended up with a T-shirt that didn't work as a shirt (who want to wear it?) nor as a painting rag (too many logos meant that it didn't absorb paint well).

We won't have a bad T-shirt again this year because we carefully did not promise to include the sponsors' logos on the shirts - their logos will show up elsewhere, but not on the shirts.

BTW, I assume this is actually the wrong list for this discussion but the EclipseCon site does not even say who the conference chair is so...

Really? Oops, let me fix that... It's me - I'm the idiot who makes these decisions.
