The mozilla store has good merchandise, good to look at similar ideas
for squid software.

http://intlstore.mozilla.org/index.php?cPath=2
http://intlstore.mozilla.org/index.php?cPath=3

The samba team too is a good place where to take a look:

I think the people from this list would like to buy some squid
merchandise to help you, this list is very active and the main
developers always are helping us in a great way.

Thanks
