Hi We organized the event at Charleston, SC it was quite successful. The event started with cutting of cake by Int Director Of MUSC Rebecca. We had very good talk by Dr. Krug and Visa We have more number of people so some went without T-shirt. Even though it was a long weekend but people was there. We were also connected with NYC group with skype. It was really fun. We discussed on vast area of wikipedia People liked buttons more, than T-shirts. I like to thanks to walling, jimmy and other people who were behind to this event. Thanking you. with best regards Kaushlendra tripathi

Re: [WikiX-l] Post-anniversary shipments

Hi, Could someone help to explain why all we get is silence? If we won't get any merchandise from WMF for the meetup and the Wiki-X event, then at least let us know so we won't keep waiting. If the merchandise has been shipped to us, then we can hold another activity for it since the shipping is already late and we couldn't make it for the meetup tomorrow. Thanks.

10 Wikipedia @ Bikaner ( India)
by Apurva Tripathi 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

Hi Everyone, One more event in India conducted at Engineering College Bikaner. The snaps will be uploaded soon. About 40-50 guys joined it. It was awesome to be there. I travelled about 120 miles for attending the event. It started with the introduction to Open Source. Then a simple introduction to Wikipedia by Sristhi Sethi. Some facts about Wikimedia foundation from Supriya. One another guy ( I don't know his name but that was the best part) asked some questions about Wikimedia Foundation and distributed some goodies. A video message from Jimmy Wales. Editing Tutorial about Wikipedia and Wiki commons by Apurva Tripathi. A discussion about deletion policy of Wikipedia . Then finally a signature campaign. It was great to be there. A new chapter of Wikipedia began at Bikaner. The one more thing I would like to admit that we really missed the T-shirts. Is there any way to ask for T-shirts so they can be distributed to organizers and participants? Apurva Tripathi

I would like to know if there will be any merchandise shipping to Wikimedia Taiwan. Our Winter Meetup and Wiki 10 celebration event will be held on this Sunday. If we don't receive the merchandise by tomorrow, then it would not be possible to give the merchandise to any Taiwanese Wikimedian attendees. Thanks.

I am afraid there is not much Steven can do at this point. The Foundation *needs* (in my humble opinion) to revise ASAP the merchandising agreements with the chapters so that those who used to produce and "sell" their own gadgets can do this again without this shipping madness which, by the way, does not seem very eco-friendly. Plus, chapters like the Italian one have a tradition in designing and printing beautiful stuff and should only be sustained in this, not blocked (again, my pov here).

Wikipedia Day Forever
by Pharos 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

It's been so awesome seeing the hundreds of events held to commemorate Wikipedia Day around the world this year. Wouldn't it be great if we made this an annual thing, as a decentralized global counterpoint event on the opposite end of the calendar to Wikimania? In NYC we actually started live celebrations of Wikipedia Day last year (along with Bangalore and Tel Aviv), and look forward to repeating in 2012 along with whatever other global events would like to join again. Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
