What about mouse pads? Would that be possible?
1. Mouse pads are way more money 2. Who uses mouse pads anymore? With optical mice, pads are just for decoration. They serve no functional purpose anymore now that we don't use roller balls on mice. 3. Mouse pads are bulkier to carry to events than stickers and that's not going to make those of us who shlep stuff around to conferences near and far quite unhappy. Way easier to pack two rolls of stickers in our kit than to carry an extra box of mousepads. 4. The stickers are distributed for advertising value. A mouse pad is something you only see when people come to your computer, whereas a sticker is something people see on your laptop no matter where you are, whether in your office, at the local Starbucks, etc. 5. Laptop stickers are something lots of people collect in FOSSland. It's not unusual to see laptops plastered with lots of stickers. Mine is (although very tastefully done of course, hehe.) So the aim here is to create a sticker that people *want* to collect. Currently, our stickers don't move much. We often leave FOSS events with plenty of stickers left over to carry on to the next event and the event after that. So, if we're going to spend money on stickers for the purpose of advertising, then we need to make people desire the stickers. Otherwise, any expenditure on stickers in its current state is really a waste of money.
