Hello, To help promote xiph's free formats. Consider having t-shirts and caps with this image on them: http://www.multimedia4everyone.com/xiph_it/underwing_16.svg original svg: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Underwing.svg I modified the svg and added the phase 'xiph it'. When someone googles something it means to search for information. The phrase 'xiph it' means to free your media. Which the way the Internet is going with multimedia playing a central role. Without free media the Web becomes another product. The free nature of the Web is history. Having t-shirts with the 'xiph it' image on the back. People will ask, what does that mean, you would say 'it means to free your media' and then point to the front of the shirt, where there would be 'xiph.org' printed. The wings in the image symbolize freedom, and that's what you get at xiph.org. To help fund xiph.org, anybody interested can place the 'xiph it' image on their website and link it to the xiph merchandise website. Good idea? Keep up the good work, Jose Ramirez
