[WikiX-l] 10th anniversary merchandise is ready to ship!

[Steven Walling]

Hi everyone, 

So with little more than a month to go before Wikipedia's anniversary,
I'm pleased to say that the kits of special Wikipedia 10 merchandise
we've talked about previously (on this list and at ten.wikipedia.org)
are ready to be shipped. To reiterate:

* This merchandise is free. The WMF is paying all shipping and
production costs. 
* It's available to anyone that has confirmed publicly that they're
holding an event that will celebrate Wikipedia's 10th anniversary. You
don't have to be holding a particular size or type of event (we have
conferences, film screenings, parties, plain old meet-ups etc.).
* Everyone is getting the same kit.  
* Each box includes 50 t-shirts with a balance of sizes for men and
women, as well as a mixed assortment of stickers and buttons. You can
see mockups of the designs at Design/Merchandise on tenwiki. I'm going
to get pictures of it all on Commons soon, under Category:Wikipedia 10. 

This means that if you're organizing one of the more than 60 events
currently in the works, I need two things to be able to ship to you:

1. A public listing for your event on tenwiki. Just to be clear, this is
merely a description and links to wherever you're organizing. If your
wiki page exists but doesn't tell people the basics of who/what/when
then please enrich it a little, so that logistically we can feel
comfortable shipping a couple hundred dollars worth of merchandise to
you. The New York City and Brasília events are good examples of the
level of detail I'm talking about.

2. Contact information and your shipping address, plus an estimate of
the size of your event so that we know how many boxes to send you. You
can email this to me privately. 

The shipping takes roughly a week depending on location (of course), so
the sooner you can send me your event information the better. We're
hoping to get as many kits as possible sent before January 1.

For those of you who've already done all of the above, thank you. I will
contact you this week before we ship anything to you.
