[Nut-upsdev] FOSDEM 2025

[Jim Klimov]

 One more lesson learned: while the custom printed hoodie had a lot of
different information, with all bits used in discussions with different
audiences, the lack of clear project name and URL on the front side was
sorely missed. There was more info on the back side, but it meant carrying
the heavy backpack on one shoulder for the whole weekend so that would be
visible.

People actually photographed the front during our talks as a sort of a
business card, but may have a hard time finding the key words in the
imagery, so it is the most important "slide" of the wearable presentation :)
