The one crucial factor (this year and every year) in getting a cool shirt is getting somebody artistic and energetic enough to design it (in time). So, quick - grab an artistic friend, teach them Python, and point them at the PyCon-organizers mailing list a few months from now. Voila! Actually, Van & I spotted an awesome shirt design from Elegant Stitches that we hope will go on the 2011 shirt... a Batman-esque plea for Pythonic help. Ah, here it is: http://www.wearpython.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=46&osCsid=c5dd2cc86621bb19a9b123e350b76398 Thanks for pitching in!

Still, even if it had to be plain, it would have made sense to stick "Staff" or "PyCon Staff" on the back in big letters so people know who you are. My two cents. Thanks for putting up with all us geeks! - Mike @ Doug,

It is a shame that it turned out that way (though people had been asking for a 'no artwork' t-shirt for years. We will have something better next year. Thanks for volunteering, we really needed the help this year. I promise it will not be as haphazard next year. The first year in a new location is always a mess.

PyCon relies on this kind of generosity to run an effective conference. Mike: thanks very much for your public-spirited support.
