Heya folks :)
I was happy to see on twitter that Petr did a intro to Wikidata at a Czech Wikipedia meeting. Thanks! How did it go? If you are planning one of them too please let me know. I can give you some tips, flyers and more and help you promote the event via the Wikidata channels. One place where they should definitely be listed is http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events
Hello,
Good idea! May I jump onto this bandwagon?
Actually I can think of several possibilities where this could be done. Unfortunately it is not possible to be at every of those:
* Sat, June, 30th: Meetup Linz in Perg, 3pm: :This time the meetup of Linz will be in Perg because of the Ortsbildmesse (August, 26th). That is an exhibition, where Wikimedia Österreich also wants to take part at and defined it's date as the beginning of Wiki Loves Monuments. So I think Wikidata will be a bit inappropriate there.
* Sat, July 21st: Meetups Lower Austria in Lilienfeld at 3pm and meetup Zürich at 6pm: :The meetups in Zürich and Lower Austria are at the same day, the distance by train is approx. 7.5 hours. So it is not possible to do the intro at both meetups allone. One of them alone would be possible. I could do that either in Swizzerland or in Lower Austria. Maybe somebody else could do one of the two events?
* University of Innsbruck: :As I read, students of the university of Innsbruck write scientific articles. There we could get the data, we need for our project. But first I need to contact anybody there for asking if they want a presentation. http://www.uibk.ac.at/public-relations/presse/archiv/2011/041101/index.html.....
Anyway it would be great to get info material, tips and other relevante information. Maybe I could also need some other stuff from Wikimedia Germany concerning other topics, should I contact your spokeswoman therefore?
