We should create some t-shirts which attract potential volunteers.

There are places with high densities of potential OLPC volunteers. Cambridge MA, campuses, conferences, etc. It might be nice to have "wearable advertising" for them. The next best thing to visibly carrying an XO. Something which brings potential volunteers forward, to talk, and potentially be hooked in.

Including wiki.laptop.org might be useful, or not. It might reduce the number of people who come forward to talk.

The following is too long for a T-Shirt, but I'm not sure where else on the wiki to put it.

There are as many infants and toddlers in the world, age 3 and under,
as there are people in the US.
Three years from now, most will start primary school.
It can look like

Mechanics

A T-shirt might be made with low effort through something like CafePress (I've no experience with them). Or locally.
