The 'match the stocking' game: which present belongs to each of these commoners? CC BY 3.0
By this time of year, Gogo is well into the Christmas spirit (and were you to construe this as that of the alcoholic variety you mightn't be far wrong - Gogo may be wise but she isn't perfect!) Gogo has been feverishly filling stockings for some of the iCommons community. However, after a long day of filling stockings, updating her status on Facebook and eating mince-pies, Gogo is feeling pretty exhausted. As a result she simply can't remember which stocking is for which person. See if you can help her match the person to the correct stocking:
Larry Lessig
Heather Ford
Cory Doctorow
Lawrence Liang
Vera Franz
Mark Surman
Kerryn McKay
Daniela Faris
Tom Chance
A fair-trade summit bag made of hemp
A copy of "Around the world in 80 days"
A little sister
100 active icommons.org nodes
A gold-trimmed vuvuzela
$ 2 million unrestricted funds towards the iSummit
A patent for the 'go round' conference system
A new coat, less tattered, not torn
A pirate eye-patch
Answers will be made available on 24 December, just in time for these commoners to receive their gifts before Christmas day!

Rebecca, you are so close, great try! :)
Gogo is feeling a little under the weather after a very festive Christmas party, so she asked me to leave the answers for her. Here goes!
Larry Lessig: donated his old coat, tattered and torn to the iCommons online auction. He deserves a new one!
Heather Ford: after a hectic year of raising funds for the annual iCommons summit, a little help would be appreciated in the form of $2 million to use however she sees fit.
Cory Doctorow: recently published Little Brother deserves a standing ovation, or a little sister.
Lawrence Liang: arguably the most eloquent of speakers around the subject of piracy, Lawrence deserves his very own pirate eye-patch.
Vera Franz: one of the most prolifically-travelled members of the donor community, Vera is always on the move. To see how it was done in the old days, we'll give her a copy of the book "Around the world in 80 days" to read on her next plane journey.
Mark Surman: a fan of the 'go round' method wherein the group is encouraged to contribute to the discussion, we think Mark deserves to own the patent.
Kerryn McKay: after all that blowing of the vuvuzela at this year's iSummit, Kerryn deserves a new pair of lips ... or a gold-trimmed vuvuzela.
Daniela Faris: After tirelessly updating the community on node activity every month, wouldn't it be wonderful if she came to work and discovered that there were 100 active nodes with busy forums, loads of participants and lots of interesting blog posts.
Tom Chance: Tom famously brought up the issue at the iSummit 2006 in Rio de Janeiro, that iCommons policies should be fair and ethical, and that this included all things even down to the bags that are produced for each year's summit. For this, we think he deserves to get a fair-trade bag made out of hemp, a natural fabric.
