<OT in this thread> The Kyoto party ended successfully. As well speech and beer, not free so paid because of lack of grant, cool T-shirts and lovely batches, welcoming from Wikimedians in many places including user:Wing aka Ting Chen WMF Board of Trustees Chair, all seemed to make the audience happy. That made us at organizing team too, of course. Thanks all those who have collaborated with us and have tried at least! </OT in this thread>
Just for the record, I'd like to make it clear if - there's nothing stopping any chapter from producing materials with Wikimedia-owned logos like Wikipedia one thanks to contracts b/w WMF and those chapters - that said, it is no same case for individuals who is organizing events or just I misunderstand something.
It's concerns for many people without local chapters in their country or region I suppose.
Cheers,

Right - but just to be clear, there's nothing stopping any chapter from producing materials for celebratory purposes. In fact several of the celebrating groups produced their own variants of the t-shirts from the mock-ups posted on ten.wikipedia.org. Nothing should stop folks from producing beautiful stuff, though I will be the first to attest to the cost and overhead in making nice things come together.

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).
