So assuming there's a decision made on where to sell it, and we get an
account set up, who manages what merchandise is for sale? I've heard
things about plush elephants (or PostgreSQLephants as I call them),
mugs, t-shirts etc, but is there a list? And who orders them etc?
I'd be happy to be given a job to do here, although I'm not quite sure
what.
