Hello everybody, spring is coming and it's been a year since we launched the charme attack on Brussels. Let's take the next steps to conquer the bureaucrats' hearts and souls! In order to finetune our strategy, we invite everyone to a second meeting of the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU in Brussels: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_Policy/Big_Fat_Brussels_Meeting_Vol._2 As last year [1], we will hold a two-day "Big Fat Brussels Meeting". The meeting is open for each and everyone. Prior knowledge of advocacy or internal Wikimedia policies is not required - a good diversity of views can be very productive. This years meeting is going to be held on a Thursday and Friday (April 24 and 25). We apologise for those of you who can't take weekdays off, but the meeting coincides with a public event on "Cultural Heritage and Mass Digitalisation" on Thursday, co-organised by us and UNESCO. [2] The two panels of the World Book and Copyright Day debate include speakers from the European Commission, Wikimedia, UNESCO, the British Library and the Federation of European Publishers. We believe tying-in the two events makes very good sense and will give participants an opportunity to engage hands-on in Brussels EU affairs. Please put your name on the participant list on Meta-Wiki or send me an email if you intend to participate, so we can organise an adequate meeting spaces. Thanks!
