OpenStreetMap merch could be a good thing to fund yeah. Would business cards be helpful for people? Personally I have never had much trouble, although contributing to Mapillary has prompted the odd question here or there.
Maybe we could set up a store with useful swag/equipment that would be subsidised by OSGeo Oceania. The minimal fees would cover shipping and stop random people ordering things.
