I suppose you're talking about this:
http://fedora-fr.spreadshirt.net/fr/FR/Shop

This is the shop that we (the french Fedora NPO) have set up to sell
swag and make a little income to finance events, media production,
etc...

It seems you can't select the english language as, well... the shop is
mainly for french people :)

However, I'm not sure Spreadshirt would even deliver the products to
the Netherlands. I'll try to have more informations about that.

Now, how do we have swag to distribute at events ? The answer is
simple: we (Fedora ambassadors) produce them.

Either the Fedora Project produces a lot of them and sends some to
local Ambassadors so they can distribute them, or the local teams
produce them themselves (that's what we do in France).

As an individual, I guess your best bet to have some swag would be to
attend an event, go to the Fedora booth and chat with the Ambassadors
there, I'm sure they'll give you some :)

Or, you could also try to ressuscitate the Shop SIG... :]
