perhaps a local python user group advocacy kit ?

a PSF kit that would help LUGs to spread the good word, or some kind
of support for LUGs creation

also, I think we could have a european store for shirts ,

deliver time.
because in europe most Python developers won't pay 30$ for a simple shirt,
that
comes 3 weeks later
