Hi Charles, Sounds like an opportunity!
From the Europeana side we would certainly make volunteer to have Dan available remotely. And he'd be willing to fly down to Zurich as well if you think it valuable.
Cheers, David ________________________________ From: glamtools-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org [glamtools-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] on behalf of charles andrès [charles.andres@wikimedia.ch] Sent: 03 June 2014 14:03 To: Conversations revolving around the development of GLAM Digital Tools; europeana-steering-group@lists.wmnederland.nl Cc: Muriel Staub Subject: [Glamtools] Google Serve in Zurich, 9-14 June 2014
We have been contacted by the Google office in Zurich, they would be interested in doing a one day of hacking for the wikimedia movement.
Google is hosting each year a "Google Serve" Day, where Googlers volunteer for one day for a project of their choice. David Furrer who organizes "Google Serve" for the Google office Zurich had the idea of having several Googlers volunteering for Wikimedia for this one day. We are oping for 10 google developers.
At Wikimedia CH we would like to focus on open bug of the GWToolset and Kiwix, but we would need the help of developers to drive the google developers.
Because they are google, they are used to interact remotely, so the presence of wikimedians in Zurich Office is not mandatory, but it would be a best.
the bad news is that the window for this event is really shot, it’s next week!
That’s why I create a doodle to see who can be available to help us during this day:http://doodle.com/2db4m8hqc59hyip9http://doodle.com/2db4m8hqc59hyip9
I you want to come in Zurich for real, WMCH can support this cost if reasonable.
If you are not able to join in live or remotely, it would be awesome if you could help by reviewing the open bugs and help us to identify the most important ones, and open some other if you think it’s accurate.
Thanks for your help
Charles
