Yes, I have the sticker artwork from you and planning to print it
locally.  However I need some details around how we can get the money for
it. Will send you a mail to you about it.

I have question around how many stickers we want to print. The conference
attendees would be around 2K (approx as total registrations would be around
4K). I would suggest we print some more so that these can be reused in
local meetups etc.

Do you have pictures of these bags? I can check with vendors.

The easy thing is to print tshirts. Do you have any tshirt designs/artwork
with you which we can reuse?

I guess you mean people who can be present at the booth.  We need around 5
to 6 folks for two days and I know some CentOS contributors who can help
me. Do you have anything else in mind?

There might be couple of talk along with one keynote By KB. I will point
you to those sessions.

Got it. I am wondering how much budget we have for goodies. As it will help
plan the goodies.

Thanks,
