Quite an important point, but to have that fuzzy corporate feel then the cards 
should look the same across the Gentoo devs at the event. Maybe the organiser 
could organise some cards?

FWIW, after 6 years at my present company I got my first ever box of business 
cards with my name on em. Wow. I didn't take them out  on company business 
because I hardly ever do, but the one time I did I looked a right tit for not 
having one!
