Just a note: Most people "signed" that they will participate on *any* meeting, with no particular date, time or place. The page was moved to indicate Sunday (http://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=3935595&oldid=3934614) without any arrangements, discussion or such. Again, the question arose because the community meeting was organised in Saturday without moving back that page.

The community meeting is shown on Sunday in the program announced in Wikipedia since the 14th of March.
We have to respect the people who have already made arrangements according to this schedule.

Glad to, but I'm confused about the date now. Shall I book the room for Sunday? 

Like I said, what matters most is when can we get the most community members to come.

I'm about to board my flight, so will be offline until I land.

PLEASE do your best, everyone to sort out the schedule so that we can make the most of the workshop.  I can book the room according to the result of the discussion as soon as I arrive at the hotel.

Cheers,

   Fuzzy :-)

Update: my hotel (the Best Western Plus Embassy) can provide a conference room with Internet, a projector, and cold/hot drinks, at a cost of ~150 Euro for 30 people.  (I said "30" as an estimate -- more would not be a problem).  WMF is happy to pay this if that would help have the meeting with the most people.  So that's an option!

Cheers,

Hi.

While the basic activity I envision for the workshop is just a group conversation on several topics, I think wifi would be great if we find we need to demonstrate something online.  But it's not crucial, I think.

What _is_ crucial, to my mind, is a maximal number of _community_ participants.  I would urge you all to make this the primary factor in determining the final date and time.  If the time where most people can make it seems impractical for lack of a venue, we can figure something out (e.g. a conference room in my hotel (or a different hotel)).  So please, try to discuss this rapidly (on-wiki and/or in Greek is fine, of course) to make sure we can make the most of the workshop.  I think some of the topics to be discussed are crucial for the future of our work in Greece.

Thank you!

(I'm going to sleep in a little bit, but I'll be checking e-mail again on my way to the airport, in about 12 hours, and will of course be online (assuming the hotel wifi works :)) as soon as I arrive.)

I am particularly eager to ensure there is enough time to seriously discuss community issues in the Wikipedians-only forum.  That's what I called the "workshop" part in earlier communications.  Note that this is quite apart from a more social gathering, which can take place in a more relaxed (or noisy) atmosphere, and which I would hope would not be exclusive of anyone.


Hello Asaf,

we are looking for the best place and time to have this workshop and discussion, in Saturday or Sunday.

I remind you that we'll be having the meeting/panel_presentations/open_discussions (including third parties) event, Saturday 10:30-14:00 in a National Hellenic Research Foundation room.

Please tell us how do you think of the ideal place and what will you (we) need: wifi? projector? nothing?
