Thanks for the update, Vojta. If you go ahead and make a request, it would be nice to hear how it goes and if you have any advice for people making their cases in the future. I know it's not the solution you were going for, and I'm curious to see what "case-by-case" means in reality.
Also, I just want to reiterate the education team is happy to consider fulfilling any swag requests you may have in the short term for your programmatic work. And for people who live in places where shipping is extremely expensive or sometimes impossible, we could consider getting some items to you in Berlin (at the Wikimedia Conference) or in Esino Lario (at Wikimania).
