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

yes, but as I have said in some private e-mails

as we are living in CHinese dominate area

where we celebrate two new years within not more than one and a half month

so it is difficult for us to order stuff after new year

if we are clearly told, there is nothing will be sent to us

we can still order sth here in Hong Kong

but after the Gregorian new year, forget it, we can just do nothing

so the main point we should learn here is

we shall make the communication between WMF and chapter/ associated groups

- that said, it is no same case for individuals who is organizing events
or just I misunderstand something.

PS: I am not sure it is the time to doing some work on reorganizing and keep update the contact list between the Staffs and chapter

as many new staffs will come, and more chapters will be approve

It's concerns for many people without local chapters in their country
or region I suppose.

Cheers,
