Dear Mina,
Thank you for replying, and I am also sorry to hear that you won't be able
to be there for the pre-conference. Thank you for asking about notes. We
have not yet established a system for note-taking and sharing afterwards,
so I appreciate you reminding me. Some of the sessions are more focused on
skill building (editing basics, for instance), and some will be more about
sharing experiences. In short, not all will be equally well suited for note
taking, but we will do our very best to be inclusive, even to those who are
not there. At the very least, presentations used during the pre-conference
will be uploaded to Commons so that others will be able to use them as
well.
One event you may be able to be there for (depending on your time of
arrival), will be the Education meetup
<https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education_Meetup>. This will be a
more informal get-together to meet others with experience and/or interest
in education.
Thanks,
Floor Koudijs

I SO regret that I will not be able to make it to the
pre-conference ( I
will be arriving in Mexico on the evening of the 17th due to professional
obligations in the US). However I am looking forward to meeting all the
educators and other Wikimedians who will be attending at the main conference
(question: will there be a report from the pre-conference available during
main Wikimania? This would be helpful for those not able to attend the pre
- such as myself - so that we could seek out the right people to discuss
the findings and perhaps establish collaboration...)
Best from Greece:)

Calling educators, education policymakers,
instructional technologists,
students, librarians, and anyone interested in the intersections between
Wikimedia projects and education: You're invited to join the Wikimania
Education Pre-Conference
<https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programme/Education_Pre_Conference>,
which will take place on July 15 and 16 of 2015 in the Hilton Hotel
Reforma, Mexico City, Mexico.
The Education Pre-conference is an event held prior to Wikimania, the
largest annual gathering in the wiki world. It provides a space to share
experiences, take part in workshops and learn about tools and resources to
start using Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects as a pedagogical tool in
an academic setting.
We would love to hear from you about how Wikipedia can contribute to
education. Whether you are a beginner to the Wikimedia world or whether you
already use Wikipedia in the classroom, we would love to have you
participate.
Attendance is free, but you need to register here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mHOlkVL97TV0CLRlS0Zl9xawwYwTZr_xQUcsGa_hvR4/viewform?c=0&w=1>
because space is limited.
We hope to see you all in Mexico!
On behalf of the organizing committee,
[and apologies for cross-posting]
