This partially overlaps with the "Booth kit" project, providing promotional
material/merchandise for Debian events.

Supporting/creating local groups
--------------------------------

* Identifying local groups
* Types of events
* Open to general public vs. rather insider event
* How to find people to help
* How to promote

boothkit: Provide promotional material for booth organisers

Needs a "Debian warehouse" for storage between events, and a person
to send it around.

There was a proposal for this many years ago, can someone provide the URL?
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Events/DebianEventsBox
https://www.debian.org/events/ contains some checklist information


Merchandise/swag
----------------

* Stuff to be sent around
  - Posters
  - Roll-up banner
  Possibly cheaper to buy more than to ship the kits around

* Stuff to be used by local group events ("starter kits")
  - Stickers
  - Pens
  - Lanyards

* Stuff for booths
  - Notepad (the paper one)

* Stuff for sale
  - T-Shirts
  What happens with the money?

Questions
---------

Is it necessary have a DD in the local group? No
