Tue Oct 1 18:31:08 UTC 2013

I like this<http://www.marcopromotionalproducts.com/Product/SPEAKER-Horizontal-Badge-Ribbon-H1-SPEAKER-39678.htm>
.
Am checking w/ vendor to see what they can do. But I do need the
categories.  Are the below categories it? do we need to add/edit any of
below?

  - "I use Jenkins to" or even "I do"
  - "I work on ____ plugin"
  - IRC Nick:
  - GitHub ID:
  - Twitter ID:
