Hi folks,
Just to follow up on Steven's note... I just uploaded the mockups of the Wikipedia 10
and new Wikipedia t-shirts to
ten.wikipedia.org:
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design/Merchandise
Kits of merchandise, each containing 50 shirts and other fun stuff described on that
page, will be available to registered Wikipedia 10 celebrators all over the world. The
Wikipedia 10 'team' shirts are, alas, in english, but we hope they'll prove
highly visible and fun alongside the Wikipedia shirts.
You'll also see there are some buttons and stickers that can be used to dress up any
other outfits or celebration spaces.
Post your event at
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Event to ensure we get a supply
of merchandise to you.
The design concept is also housed on the same wiki:
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design
Which is all about remix and localize! Some volunteers have already localized the marks
in their own languages and geographies. They template blanks are there and standing by to
be added to. And of course you can always add completely original concepts to his page as
well. They're all being housed on WM Commons:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_10
We're thankful to David Peters, a design consultant who has been working with us for
about two years now for putting the time into this concept. I hope it makes it joins a
wide range of other images and designs that help us celebrate this one-of-a-kind
milestone!
Please continue the conversation on the wikix-l mailing list per Steven's
instructions below. That way we keep the conversation focussed on the events and
activities.
Thanks,
jay

Hi all,
As a few of you know, I have a fellowship in the Wikimedia
Foundation's Community Department, working for Chief Community Officer
Zack Exley on a variety of projects. One of these projects is making
Wikipedia's 10th anniversary one to remember by supporting you
(Wikimedians) who want to celebrate online and off.
To that end, we've opened up a new space for collaboration at
http://ten.wikipedia.org/
. Many thanks to the editors who've already showed up to participate.
For who haven't had a chance to explore it yet, we started the wiki
for four core activities, which are outlined in our FAQ
(
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAQ
). They are:
1. Gathering a single, detailed list of events that we can point
interested people to.
2. Hosting some interesting ways to reflect on the anniversary online,
across Wikipedia communities. If you have ideas for celebrating, this
is the place to share them.
3. Providing resources for organizers, including a press kit, freely-
licensed designs that can be localized, and instructions on how to get
a free set of t-shirts, stickers, buttons etc. for your event.
4. A place to document everything. This wiki will be a great place to
look back and see what we did to celebrate our first double digit
anniversary.
Hopefully that gives you a better idea of what we're working on. As
usual, please be bold and join in!
If you have questions that can't be answered on the wiki or mailing
list (
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikix-l), I am your
best point of contact. I'd especially like to encourage current or
potential event organizers to get in touch.
Thanks for reading,
Steven Walling
