It's wonderful to see this coming together for Midwinter!
Roy, when you say that you expect to recruit people you know to help
distribute items and are fairly well equipped for Boston, do you mean that
you are not looking for any additional librarians to volunteer? I might
have some time, and I take it that Sara might as well.
Best,

I have the stickers that Jake kindly had made, and they will be available
at the OCLC and National Library of Medicine booths in the exhibit hall,
and I expect to also recruit people I know to help me distribute them more
widely. Merrilee also gave me a slug of badge ribbons that she made that
say "I edit Wikipedia". So I think I'm fairly well equipped for Boston.
Thanks,
Roy

I am a bit behind on this- vacation. Merrilee, do you need some help
with
distribution of stickers? Do we want to schedule
time on Friday or
Monday
to meet and maybe edit? I have a spare Wikipedia
shirt hanging around
and
am happy to bring it to give to someone.
Side note, when it comes to library conferences, badge ribbons are a hot
commodity. I would encourage that a bunch be made for future
conferences.
All they need to say is ŒWikipedian¹ and include
a spot for people to
write in their username. They can be picked up at booth. I think
librarians are a bit more ravenous about ribbons than tech people (who I
noticed prefer stickers).

Phoebe Ayer is talking about doing a one-page share, and special shout
out to Jessamyn West for giving the 1lib1ref page a facelift:

forward to whichever communications materials you develop. Cheers,
