Cheap swag just ends up in a drawer or in the trash, it's not worth it
imho.
I think that tends to be things that the sponsors have provided, rather
than us. As I said in the other mail, I don't know if this is actually
fixable. I think it requires the sponsors to be more engaged in our
needs than is practical.
To a degree yes, but also from our side. Things like low quality water
bottles and low quality t-shirts. I don't think any DebConf team member
should ever have any pressure on them to reduce quality to reduce costs
on things like them. If anything, they should be re-assured that we have
enough funds left from previous DebConfs to do something nice, and if
anything, we can go the extra mile and get some well designed t-shirts
(as in, add some extra stitching, Debian logos on sleeves, that kind of
thing) as apposed to just a plain conference t-shirt that most of us
already have too many of.
