Certainly true.

I'd suggest to try and keep this simple, though - depending on what the 
stickers are for, it might make sense to first order a quick 10K sticker order 
to just hand out like they cost pretty much nothing (as they don't) and then 
get fancier designs for a higher price second. Budget request for Eur 120 for 
10K stickers, then another for stickers-to-sell is easier than make one big 
plan ;-)

The 10K stickers can be at Ade's place in a week, or split over the KDE office 
and his place, and then we got 'standard' stickers covered. Then the fancier 
ones you can take some time for.

Just my 10 cent on that...
