Any takers in Chennai?
Even a normal meetup of sort can help. But you guys just need to make sure
of a plan and move out of home on Pongal :)

ready to ship!

Hello India Wikimedians!
Time is getting short for organizing Wikipedia 10th anniversary
events. January 15, 2011 will not come again - it's a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be there as Wikipedia marks this big
milestone. :-). If you manage to put together an event, you may still
be able to get one of the 10th anniversary kits that Steven is talking
about below. They include t-shirts and other goodies.
See more at:

So far, there are pages up for Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Would
be awesome to see even more India events :-)

Hi everyone,
So with little more than a month to go before Wikipedia's anniversary,
I'm pleased to say that the kits of special Wikipedia 10 merchandise
we've talked about previously (on this list and at
ten.wikipedia.org)
are ready to be shipped. To reiterate:
* This merchandise is free. The WMF is paying all shipping and production
costs.
* It's available to anyone that has confirmed publicly that they're
holding an event that will celebrate Wikipedia's 10th anniversary. You
don't have to be holding a particular size or type of event (we have
conferences, film screenings, parties, plain old meet-ups etc.).
* Everyone is getting the same kit.
* Each box includes 50 t-shirts with a balance of sizes for men and
women, as well as a mixed assortment of stickers and buttons. You can
see mockups of the designs at Design/Merchandise on tenwiki. I'm going
to get pictures of it all on Commons soon, under Category:Wikipedia
10.
This means that if you're organizing one of the more than 60 events
currently in the works, I need two things to be able to ship to you:
1. A public listing for your event on tenwiki. Just to be clear, this
is merely a description and links to wherever you're organizing. If
your wiki page exists but doesn't tell people the basics of
who/what/when then please enrich it a little, so that logistically we
can feel comfortable shipping a couple hundred dollars worth of
merchandise to you. The New York City and Brasília events are good
examples of the level of detail I'm talking about.
2. Contact information and your shipping address, plus an estimate of
the size of your event so that we know how many boxes to send you. You
can email this to me privately.
The shipping takes roughly a week depending on location (of course),
so the sooner you can send me your event information the better. We're
hoping to get as many kits as possible sent before January 1.
For those of you who've already done all of the above, thank you. I
will contact you this week before we ship anything to you.
