[Ambassadors] Fedora case badges for the WHOLE WORLD

[María Leandro]

Just a question now that I see this numbers, and an example to explain
myself better:

Question:
Have you ever consider make a "marketing store" not only to sell, but also
to do all this marketing things on big amounts with Regions Budget and so
it, get a better price and bigger amount? I know most of every region budget
is for marketing items, so why don't we produce them in a single location,
to: make more, make it cheaper?

Examples:
1.- Software Freedom Day:
They produce everything (t-shirts, stickers, media, plates... everything) in
China and send them with massive shipping to all over the world. First 5
HUGE shipments get to main continents, and from there, local contacts
deliver all material.

2.- Flisol:
We buy everything in a single place of our country and deliver it to all our
cities (get's really cheaper. We save almost 40% and buy more great stuff)

-----

Might this be a good idea? has been tried before without success??

Only ideas, hope to help

Nice day
