At the OpenStreetMap conference last September delegates got small 
badges/pins that looked quite cool. Unfortunately I was too busy filling 
the goodie bags and sorting out the Audio/Visual in the other rooms that 
I forgot to take one myself. Due to the wonderful attendance numbers, 
they ran out before I remember to get one. If anyone has one they don't 
care for, they have the opportunity to make me a little happier. :)
