Hi folks,
Just a heads-up that I'm having a discussion with WMF about the possibility of Cascadia receiving a WMF trademark license to enable the production of Wikipedia-themed hats and beanbag chair covers that can be available for purchase at WikiConference USA 2016. These will probably be optional add-on items when people purchase their conference registrations. There has been a small but enthusiastic discussion on Facebook regarding the proposal for beanbag chairs (:
Cheers,
Pine
Quick (and somewhat related) idea: print out a good number of stickers with the Wikipedia logo and a QR code and post them on street lamps near places that have entries, preferably good articles or those with non-stubs. "Read about me on Wikipedia" stickers could be a fun way to make people more aware of Seattle's presence on the site.

Brian brought up a similar idea awhile back. I like it too. One possibility is that one of us, or our outreach coordinator if we are able to hire one, will contact local governments about this concept and collaborate with them to implement it.
By the way, you might suggest at transit meetings that transit agencies could put Wikipedia QR codes on their stations and vehicles. (:
