Promoting Wikimedia in Diaspora network
by Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

Hi all I was asked by my chapter to promote Wikimedia Poland using Diaspora network. Apparently it is quite popular among people related to open education in Poland and it might be a good idea to try to reach to them using this site. I'm not very familiar with Diaspora so I would really appreciate some advice on that. Does anyone here have any experience with using this network to promote Wikimedia projects? Did you find it useful or not really? Are there any tips or/and stories you would like to share?
