Speaking of which, I couldn't attend an event and I'm not sure if there was
anything available at the event... is there anyway I could obtain such
merchandise?

Keep in mind there's more tenwiki events that haven't occurred yet.
e.g. anniversaries for other languages.

Hi everyone,
So quite some time has passed since Wikipedia’s 10th anniversary, and now
that things are starting to wind down, it’s time to consider what we want to
do with ten.wikipedia.org (AKA tenwiki, if you use interwiki links). We’re
in no rush to act, and I know there are a few celebrations yet to happen,
but I thought it was good to start thinking about this now that we’re well
past the rush of January 15th.
>From the start, one of the reasons I was comfortable starting “yet another
wiki” was that I figured that after the anniversary was over there would be
no need to leave it up indefinitely, requiring upkeep from the community and
staff.
There are lots ideas that have been mentioned casually. For example: at the
last community IRC meeting there was a suggestion for it to be merged with
Meta.[1] In general I’m agnostic on the matter, though I do a have a couple
general goals...
With that frame of mind, I’ve opened a discussion at the tenwiki Village
Pump with some of the various options I’ve heard or thought of.[2] Please
add your ideas there, especially if you’ve been a part of the crew of
editors who’ve worked to maintain the site over the past several months.
If you haven’t heard me say it before: thank you for helping the site grow
so quickly in those past months while staying free of vandalism/spam. The
whole idea would have been a disaster if it wasn't for your hard work.[3]
(On a related note: Jay Walsh and I have been working on some reports to
wrap up the Foundation's major work on the 10th anniversary, one of which is
the start of a page about running any global, distributed event in the
Wikimedia movement. Jay is currently consumed by another deadline, but we're
hoping to publish that work soon.)
Thanks!

Hi!,
As part of Wikimania 2011 in Haifa, we are looking for videos from the
Wikipedia 10th anniversary celebration events around the world. I will be
happy if anyone that have such video could contact me to see how we can get
it from you - itzik(a)wikimedia.org.il
Thanks,
Itzik
