Speaking of logistics, I'll be at the
Wikimedia Conference in Berlin next
month and at Wikimania in June. If you live in a place where shipping is
expensive (or impossible) I might be able to bring some items/orders (space
permitting). Keep that in mind as you think about Floor's original offer as
well :)
I do like the solution you're working on with Kacie so people can produce
more things locally! Seems like a much more sustainable approach.
Cheers,
Tighe

Hi Vojtech,
Thanks for those observations. It's true that overseas shipping costs
can be rather expensive. I like your ideas and the creative solutions you
are coming up with. Very nice. If anyone wants to take their chances on the
Wikipedia store and the overseas shipping, we will support that and also
take care of the shipping costs. And then longer term, we can think about
better ways to do this. I know there is a physical storage in the US and I
don't know if that's something that can be replicated (or is desirable to
have, even) for Europe or other continents.
Thanks for chiming in,

Hi Floor, thanks for the suggestion! We already
tried to order some
swag in the past months.
Sadly, from my experience, I ordered some t-shirts and half of them
were out of stock in the desired sizes and it would be very expensive to
get the rest of the order to Europe. We're now working on a much better
solution with Kacie Harold from WMF - the Store will upload the T-shirt
logos to Commons and anyone can print them :-). Of course that only works
for the teams that have some funding (but I guess most Collab people do).
From a long-term perspective, it would be cool to have a logistical
center of the Wikipedia Store in one of the chapters in Europe - the
overseas shipping is too expensive.
