*'''[[User:Jennyn|Jennyn]] 14:47, 15 June 2006 (EDT)''': We should consider doing a collection of T-shirts like [http://www.cafepress.com/hlounge H-Lounge] (ringtone start-up from MIT). That way, we can do Sri's awesome idea of the "[My Favorite Protocol]" shirt, and maybe put "openwetware.org" on the back or something. I'd love to get involved in this, also, by the way. [[Image:Smiley.gif]] I think the graphics that we have are cool, but more would be awesome!
