Okay. I could definitly take part. It would be great if someone else could
spend some time at the booth.

I am going to work on these kind of stickers first. I think they should only
show the CentOS logo and maybe the CentOS font. I will try out what looks
best.

These are special kind of stickers. Most case badges have a kind of metallic
effect. I am going to ask a friend of mine who is preparing Ubuntu case
stickers (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam/Projects/AluminiumCaseBadges?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ubcd.png)
and ask him if he could help us out.

I am going to sponser the first set of 'large' stickers.

This could be an option, put I would suggest to give them away for about
0,50 EUR. That's what KDE did last year, too.
