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.

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).
