I believe Wikinews is planing on covering wikimania. I don't know if our coverage can be adapted or not for this. Brian On 7/11/07, Sandy Ordonez <sordonez(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

This is probably being discussed somewhere, but it would be nice if a team of Wikinews volunteers covered wikimania, and then, we could use their coverage to send to reporters/interested parties, etc. after the conference. (IE announce if it was a success, show highlights, etc.) Does anyone know is there is a group of Wikinews individuals who are planning on doing this. Ie, we can send out email to press list and then post on wikimedia foundation site. Is anyone interested in this project? Please email me, and I'll set up project page on ComProj Calendar.

Hi All, good go hear this conversation happening. Wikipedia Weekly podcast will have at least three and likley four folks there, and we plan to do coverage of the events, and would love to coordinate with you. There will of course be general audio/video streaming by the AV staff, but we were thinking of providing more "discussion" and roundtables while there. There will also be a Wikimania Lounge which hopes to provide people with a hangout area with workstations and areas for learning how to do various production tasks. Let's try to coordinate some and share our resources. Thanks. -Andrew (User:Fuzheado) On 7/10/07, Craig Spurrier <craig(a)craigweb.net> wrote:

I will be at it and will be doing my best to cover it. Afaik I am the only one who will be covering it from Wikinews. I e-mailed about a press pass a few months ago for it (told to wait), and again last week but am yet to hear back. -Craig Spurrier Sandy Ordonez wrote:

Hi all, if it's not too late, something to add to the agenda is how Comproj folks can help with the Wikimania Lounge. This might be useful reading: http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Lounge -Andrew On 7/11/07, Sandy Ordonez <sordonez(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Guys, It would be great if anyone who is working on this endeavor, post their name here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Press_Coverage, so we know who to contact after the conference, and could help us organize this. This is what I forsee, but we can talk about this during meeting, or please add to wiki: (this is what is currently on wiki). I must emphasize that this plan will not work, unless we can recruit people at wikimania to help us write up coverage, etc. so we may have to discuss how we can advertise for help before wikimania. sandy *Debriefing Publicity Plan of Action* To report how Wikimania 2007 went, after conference: *a)* Gather stories on different seminars, presentations, etc. If you can cover an event, please list your name below: Sandy - Press conference *b)* After conference, immediately coordinate an IRC meeting, to gather all materials we can find including: recoreded podcasts, stories, pictures, audio files, etc. Additionally, coordinate who will do what. *c)* Compile a virtual newsletter that contains all the gathered material. *d)* Post link to virtual newsletter on Wikimedia Foundation website. *e)* Send email to reporters *f)* Contact Wikizine to also include link to newsletter. *g)* Send email to foundation-l Andrew Lih wrote:
