Overview

Wikimedia Foundation's Technical Engagement team runs a swag program, that rewards technical contributors for their active participation in outreach programs, events, and software projects by giving swags. It was first launched in 2022 in collaboration with the Fundraising Operations team.

This is a small token of appreciation for the countless efforts of our technical contributors towards building a thriving community!
