Wikimedia Czech Republic took part in another public exhibition. In October, we presented Wikipedia and other projects at the Autumn Book Fair in Havlickuv Brod, which was first association's presentation of this kind outside Prague. Again in a cooperation with the Microsoft Czech Republic, who provided the association with its "Microsoft Surface" presentation equipment, the display was appraised again by many of the visitors.
In August, Wikimedia Czech Republic published first edition of the Wikimedium journal. On 14 pages, the magazine contained an interview with Wikimedia Poland's member and Wikimedian Wojciech Pedzich, information about Creative Commons-licensing of Wikipedia, gallery of the best images of the Wikimedia Commons, reports from Wikimedia Czech Republic activities, news from Czech and foreign projects and an entertainment page with Michael Jackson trivia found on Wikimedia projects and a quiz. Wikimedium will be published four times a year as a full-color PDF document. It is available for download in Czech language at wikimedium.wikimedia.cz .
In September, the Wikipedia symbol Free Travel-Shirt visited Prague thanks to German Wikimedian Ukko. Members of the Wikimedia Czech Republic first took part in the Czech Wikimedians with the shirt, one day later the visit of the shirt in the Municipal Library of Prague was organized, where several Wikimedians were received by Mr. Tomas Rehak, the library's director. The Municipal Library will be the venue of the first Czech Wikiconference at the beginning of the December.
The nation-wide broadcaster Czech Television's crew covered the visit of the shirt in the Municipal Library, which was later reported at the beginning of the 20-minutes teleview 'Milenium' (available in Czech at www.ct24.cz/vysilani/2009/10/27/209411058031027-11:35-milenium/?streamtype=WM2 ).
Wikimedia Czech Republic started promoting its activity at the social network Facebook, which came out a potentially strong communication medium. (Currently our page http://www.facebook.com/Wikimedia.CR has 115 fans.)
In November, we also parcicipated on book exhibition LIBRI 2009 in Olomouc.
Preparations are under way for our first conference, which is going to happen on 5th December in Prague Municipal Library. The main topic of the conference are sources in Wikipedia.
