Hi all,
In preparation for the upcoming Wikimedia Conference 2019 – which will take place from March 29 to March 31 in Berlin, Germany[1] – we again launch a call for a “Visiting Wikimedian”. This initiative aims to transfer practical knowledge from the German chapter to other Wikimedia movement affiliates and provides us with an outside view.
The scope of a “Visiting Wikimedian” is mainly to support the organization of the Wikimedia Conference in terms of logistics and program. The “Visiting Wikimedian” will be involved in all essential steps of the planning and organizing process and will be able to contribute in multiple ways. We are open to designing the tasks together, according to the Visiting Wikimedian’s skills and experiences and her or his affiliate’s needs. We are especially looking for a person who can apply the knowledge to an upcoming event, for example if the affiliate is hosting a regional or international conference.
You can find more information about the initiative and all application details on Meta.[2] We had three Visiting Wikimedians over the last years, check also their blost posts on the linked on the Meta page.
If you are interested in becoming a Visiting Wikimedian, please check the conditions and details on Meta and apply to wmcon@wikimedia.de until September 19, 2019 (incl).
Best regards, Cornelius
