A cotton bag can be made very small, if you don't need it - and you don't need to take one ;)
We found it a nice thing to do - and cheaper than doing T-Shirts ;)
No conference t-shirt? :(
Geeko must be about $5 US and a cotton bag must be at least $3 US, for $8US one can buy a t-shirt retail.
The Geekos will not come ouf of the openSUSE budget and thus your numbers do not add up,
OK, but who wants a bag?
I do :)
If we spend money on stuff that is not desirable/wanted that's just waste.
You can neither prove nor disprove if bags are not desired.
That is correct. However, of those that are on this list, 3 have voiced their opinions against bags. My gut feel tells me that the majority of people would prefer a t-shirt over the proposed bag.

I would prefer a t-shirt too, but as pointed out that's not budgetable, therefore not up for discussion. And while we do get t-shirts from other conferences, at least most of the FOSS conferences I have been to charge a registration fee and then you get your free t-shirt. The only other time I can think of is where one event was free, but they charged a fee to sell you a t-shirt. That may not be the same everywhere, but at least my experience tells me you never really get a t-shirt for free. There are also challenges with making sure we have an adequate size t-shirt for everyone. Since we did not include a t-shirt question in the registration form, this will prove a nightmare to figure out the right size t-shirt for everyone to have in stock. So, I would propose, before this devolves, to make an actual viable solution proposal. If you want t-shirts, come up with a solution for how to pay for it.
