Subject: Tool demos for program leaders tomorrow at Wikimania
To: Wikimedia Education <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hey program leaders!
We are trying to organize an impromptu tool demo here at Wikimania
tomorrow! (Apologies for the short notice.)
Come to the community village at the collaborative space at the beginning
of lunch (12-1pm). If the meeting space is available below the
collaborative space, we'll move downstairs.
We will explore some useful tools for program leaders that are available
now (and some soon to be more widely released).
For those not attending, we can circulate notes and links afterwards.
Please pass along to others who may be interested and not on this list!
Cheers,
Tighe

Hello friends,
Hope this finds you well. I was thinking that having a Collab meetup at
Wikimania might give us a chance to review what we are up to?
Let me know if you think this is a good idea, and I will create the meetup
proposal :)
Best,
Reem

Hello everyone!
The Wikimedia Brazilian Group of Education and Research[1] will host on October 13th and 14th in Rio de Janeiro the "1st Brazilian Wikipedia Science Conference"
This event aims to bring together students, teachers and researchers with projects and publications about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects and their dynamics.
We are almost done and soon we will announce our official website and call for papers. Articles and poster will be accepted.
The Wikimedia Foundation has validated our logo [2] and the use of the Wikipedia brand in the event name.
We are using as inspiration the events organized by Wikimedia UK[3] and OpenSym[4].
We are trying to bring to Brazil some important keynotes from our movement. If someone from this list is interested in coming to visit us, let's keep in touch!
That event is under organization in a very organic and experimental way, with no funding from WMF to see the impact and interest from the local academic community. Based on the results and impacts we will try to do something bigger in 2017.
All the content produced during the event will be published in CC licenses (photos, videos, interviews, publications).
Soon we will have more news! You can check our planning page here[5]

Hi all,
I need help of someone who knows Italian to review about 400 words I
drafted for the Collab brochure. It won't take long (maybe just 5 minutes),
just a quick review to ensure that my Italian is OK. Contact me off-list,
if you can help :)
Best,
Reem

Hii :)
Hope this finds you all well. Since we agreed that the Collab needs more
publicity, I thought that having a brochure about the Collab at Wikimania
would be nice. I am going to prepare a simple brochure about the Collab and
have it on our Wikimedia Egypt table. I was thinking of something simple
just to introduce the Collab to people interested in WEPs. Any ideas? In
your opinion, what are the most interesting things that should be included?
Best,
Reem
