<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!

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,

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).
