Anniversary Conference 2010 This is our third Anniversary Conference, an annual public outreach event we maintained since 2007. This is year we set the event as a kick start of our WMF-funded project, the Education Toolkits For Liberal Studies. With the help and support from ISOC-HK and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, we are able to had such meeting in HRH Duke of Windsor Service Building, a prime conference location in town. In the meeting Dr. Chitat Chan, our chapter’s advisor, and John Chan from our partner group in the LS toolkit project, 3 teachers group. We had clarified our goal and defined the strategy for the project. Photos of the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeromyu/sets/72157624394600259/

Education Toolkits For Liberal Studies This is a WMF-funded project, and from the anniversary conference, our partners and us agreed that we should involved teachers who currently teaching the subject. So we kept on the strategic preparation for the platform to bring the teachers together.

Wikimedia Asia Conference Negotiated with dot Asia organization and ISOC-HK, we may facilitate an option for Wikimedia Asia Project, that we might collocate the conference with their APRICOT-APAN 2011. We still need a consensus from the Asian Chapters to make the conference a reality.
