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. This will be a more informal get-together to meet others with experience and/or interest in education.

Thanks,

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, 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 because space is limited.

We hope to see you all in Mexico!

On behalf of the organizing committee,
