I am following two projects one extremely technical and another more sale oriented.

The technical one is rediSQL[1] I am embedding SQLite into a redis module. Until few days ago I had performance issues that I wasn't able to figure out and I tracked everything in an issues. I finally figured out the problem, solve it, gain a lot of performance and I am about to write a blog post about. The next step is to get the exact same performance in the redis module compared with using SQLite embedded in a simple C program it is not going to be easy and I would probably defer this performance gain opportunity in favor of more features in the module.

The second project, the sale oriented one, is WalOfStickers.com[2] where I try to sell hexagonal stickers for laptop. I like to show the technology that I work with and make my laptop mine, but I don't like that the more sticker you put the messier everything became, so I made these hexagonal sticker that you can tile in your laptop and make neat, complex patterns.

Have you thought about selling stickers for tech conferences. Could be a nice way to get bulk orders.
Hummm, what you mean?

I thought about send some free sticker to the conference to make myself some marketing.

However I could also make the sticker with the logo of the conference and maybe send along also some related stickers...

That was your idea? It is actually quite interesting...

If there is an aws sponsored conference you talk to the organisers and see if they want to buy 1000 aws stickers for the goodie bags, for instance.
Are you sure you're allowed to print other company's logos on stickers and sell them?
It is actually a n area that I haven't completely understand.

Most trademarks are registered in order to avoid that an unrelated tech product "steal"/"take advantage" of another well know product name.

Other companies sell similar stickers so I didn't actually bothered too much asking, I will definitely make this straight if I will made something worthed out of this side business.
