Why T-shirts are essential.

[Kim Bruning (seperate for lists)]

I think I have the job part down pat now.

The one thing that would have *really really* helped get me a job ohhh
months ago would have been a nice FSF T-Shirt or Polo. It helps when you
can show people something, and tell them "See? I'm an
FSFE-type {associated, friendly, compatible, member} person."

So why is this useful? Well, it's a bit psychological really. It's a big
difference if you walk in wearing a T-shirt which clearly states what
you're at from the start. It's a good starting point for conversation for 
one. 

Another reason T-shirts are essential? You can't take any kind of
Hacker-level initiative very seriously unless they hand out T-shirts. If
you look at it this way, the whole mess with Anjas art is really terrible!
