Hi Darian, 

please check 
http://www.kde.org/kde-stuff.html

At Linuxtag we talked to the guys doing the merchandising booth (I think it 
was freibergnet, but I am not sure) and they want to produce the T-Shirts we 
had for the crew and also konqi pins. AFAIK tackat is working on this. 

Greetings,
eva
