Yes.  Step 1 was to get the US coolstuff store setup.  Step 2 is to figure
out how to replicate a similar sort of setup in other geos, because
clearly the shipping costs are insane out of the US.

Shipping costs is the biggest problem that we have with swag, and we know
it needs to be dealt with.

Possible solutions to the predicament (and I know there might be glitches in implementing them)

o Hold on to the art work rights but allow local equivalents of ThinkGeeks to come up (right now someone I know has been bugging me as to whether a ThinkGeek or a Cafepress equivalent would be welcome by Red Hat as one of the entities involved)

o Get BrandFuel to work out a reasonable pricing mechanism

o Figuring out if the presence of Red Hat offices locally could be leveraged
