It's wonderful to see this coming together for Midwinter!
Roy, when you say that you expect to recruit people you know to help distribute items and are fairly well equipped for Boston, do you mean that you are not looking for any additional librarians to volunteer? I might have some time, and I take it that Sara might as well.

I have the stickers that Jake kindly had made, and they will be available at the OCLC and National Library of Medicine booths in the exhibit hall, and I expect to also recruit people I know to help me distribute them more widely. Merrilee also gave me a slug of badge ribbons that she made that say "I edit Wikipedia". So I think I'm fairly well equipped for Boston. Thanks, Roy

I am a bit behind on this- vacation. Merrilee, do you need some help
with
distribution of stickers? Do we want to schedule time on Friday or
Monday
to meet and maybe edit? I have a spare Wikipedia shirt hanging around
and
am happy to bring it to give to someone.
Side note, when it comes to library conferences, badge ribbons are a hot commodity. I would encourage that a bunch be made for future
conferences.
All they need to say is ŒWikipedian¹ and include a spot for people to write in their username. They can be picked up at booth. I think librarians are a bit more ravenous about ribbons than tech people (who I noticed prefer stickers).

I love the idea. We would need to do some quick turnaround with a sticker logo. Given the timeframe, could I have them shipped directly to you or Merrilee? Jake
Thats a great idea! The Wikipedia 15 page has plenty of information on creating local swag to celebrate Wikipedia 15 : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15 Moreover, at the
Wikipedia
Library, we created a bookshelf of outreach tools we have used in the past: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/Bookshelf Phoebe Ayer is talking about doing a one-page share, and special shout out to Jessamyn West for giving the 1lib1ref page a facelift: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref We look forward to whichever communications materials you develop.
