Discussions between fundraising operations and developer advocacy took place on this topic last year. Notes here.
The next step is to set up a separate portal with the items we want to ship to 100-150 technical contributors. The fulfillment center will help set up this portal based on our needs—TE to work with the fundraising team on the next steps.

Summary: 19/85 people didn't claim swag ~ 22%. Out of these 19 people, at least 7 shared their reason for not being willing to accept swag items:
- 4 people were not interested and shared their reason along the lines of minimalism and that they are not interested in owning too many items
- 1 person shared privacy concerns around disclosing their physical address
- 1 person is a staff member and doesn't feel comfortable claiming an item as a staff member
- 1 person said they already have the items and would be interested in more tech-themed swag.
Some people who claimed swag upon sending reminders a couple of times shared that email from Kotis landed in their spam folders - something to consider for the future round.
