ZOMG STICKERS!!!!!
Mo, you are awesome.

The next task: putting together DEAD SIMPLE instructions for manufacturing these stickers. Like:

1. Go down to the local office store and buy Avery white sticker paper.

2. Put that sticker paper into your inkjet printer.

3. Fire up (program of choice). (Is it just "print from Inkscape"? How about "print from Evince"? Which is better?)

4. Print!

5. Cut out stickers, and cover your laptop with your very own Fedora witticisms!

I love it. Love it, love it, love it.

Oh, and one more thing: you should really put the URL for the sticker page itself on the very bottom of the sticker page, in small print.

Oh, and another thing: a similar set of sticker pages with all of the hackergotchis of Fedora peeps would be *unbelievably awesome*. I want to be able to print off the head of our fearless leader and put filthy, filthy words in his mouth.

You don't need to work hard, just come by my house Friday night after the little pitchers are in bed, bring a tape recorder, and ask my wife and me about how the house-selling is going.

Since she provided so far a SVG and a low-resolution PNG, step 3 is Fire up Inkscape or GIMP, open the SVG and print it. With a hi-res PNG it would be: double click (open with EOG) and print, with PDF (exported easily from Inkscape) would be the same double click and print (EOG).
Considering the SVG does not use any advanced SVG feature, it could be also: double click on the SVG (open with EOG) and print.

One could also use gLabels (but that is not part of the default install) and provide a .glabels file.

As for the hackergotchis... to bad that is not doable: the images are very small, not suited for print. I expect the result will not look good at all: 96x96px images printed at 200 or 300 DPI (you can resize them, but the result is far from perfect).
I don't have a good color printer around me to test with one single image and see how good/bad is the result, but if I get that info from someone else I can assemble a sheet of hachergotchis (providing they would fit on a single page).

So I looked into doing some hackergotchi stickers but there are some folks who are opposed to having their hackergotchi on a sticker. So we would have to get ok's from people first.

There is a scribus file (just the SVG imported into scribus) for the stickers as well.

This raises an interesting question: people submit their avatar (not necessarily a photo) to be used on planet fedora. Does this have / should have any implication about the license they are released under?
