[OH-Publicity] things to send open source comes to campus events

[Carol Willing]

Definitely stickers. Sufjan is very popular on the OpenHatch stickers. 
Perhaps an OSCTC sticker with url and one of Karen's cool Sufjan drawings.

I'm wondering if a curated list of ebooks that are open source would 
work. Alternatively, perhaps O'Reilly would provide a flyer for a free 
ebook with a code for download (they do it for a number of conferences).

Shirts are a nice appreciation gift for organizers. Yet, I don't know if 
the cost/benefit/logistics work for it.

What else would college/campus people find useful? Key lanyards, 
carabiners, pens, reusable items...
