I heartily second this!  I have not been historically good at PR for TDE,
usually being neck-deep in some obscure bug report or enhancement during
my TDE "working hours".

Also, regarding the coffee mugs/T-shirts, this is a good idea.  We had
discussed something similar but I think I managed to forget all about it
before investigating further (probably while fixing one of the more
difficult bug reports ;-)).  It looks like there is at least one company
that will produce them on-demand; any thoughts on what kind of profit
margin on such an intrinsically inexpensive item would be tolerable to
most of my fellow geeks?

I would suggest adding in this store with our Web site redesign, as users
will probably be clicking around already to discover where everything
went.  I could use some ideas as to what to call it to encourage clicks
from random users. ;-)  I could also use some ideas on what to put on the
items besides our logo and project name (i.e. a slogan or similar).

Thanks, and thank you again to all who donated!  We are now at $350
towards the replacement chiller (~ 23% achieved of my lower goal).
