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).

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.

<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,

Shipping finally arrived here in Hong Kong this morning actually FedEx service receive rather good reputation here
my personal thought on this, if fellows are more willing to look into our e-mails such delay, at least in our case in HK, shall not happen (and thx for all staff involved to fix it, particularly Jay und Erik)

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

We are still waiting the merchandising for Madrid, Valencia and Cadiz events, all united in an only WM-ES shipment to Santiago de Compostela. We will organize some events in may, so the gifts will be welcomed.
