[Wikimediaindia-l] Deadline to get 10th anniversary merchandise approaching

[Steven Walling]

Hi everyone,

If I haven't introduced myself before, I'm Steven Walling. One of my jobs at the Foundation is helping everyone who wants to celebrate our 10th anniversary. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned on the list before, but ten.wikipedia.org is the place to learn about everything we're organizing. 

There's plenty going on there for the anniversary, but the most pressing issue is that the Foundation is shipping kits of free merchandise to people who are running events, and the deadline for getting that merchandise shipped to you is rapidly approaching. You can see mockups of the t-shirts, stickers, and buttons at ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design/Merchandise

If you're running an event and would like merchandise kits, the time to get set up to do so is now. I just need a couple things to be able to do so:

1. A public listing for your event on ten.wikipedia.org. Most people have done this, but if your wiki page doesn't have at least a basic description of what you're doing, when, where, and info about how people can participate, I would really appreciate it if you could do that. It will help make your events great and show the world all the amazing things we're doing to celebrate Wikipedia's first decade. 

2. Email me your shipping address and contact information. 

Two events (Bangalore and Kannur in Kerala) have done all this already. The other events listed (Mumbai, Mehrabpur, Hyderabad, Pune, Mysore) still need one or both of those two things. 

The Wikimedia Foundation has the merchandise ready to ship and is prepared to pay all the costs involved. If it might make better sense to say, ship to the chapter or a particular group and have them distribute throughout the rest of India, we can talk about making that happen too. 

Thanks for reading,
