Hi all,
as Lodewijk already mentioned, it still has to be decided if we want to
choose Thurday or Friday for the WLM meeting.
I have set up a doodle to make it easier to see who prefers which date:

Today we have opened the registration for the Berlin Hackathon 2011:

For the WLM registration you will need an extra code, which will be
provided after we have agreed on the date.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Nicole

Hi all,
I am pleased to tell you that Wikimedia Deutschland has offered
generously to host an international meeting for participating chapters
on Wiki Loves Monuments. We will combine this meeting with the developer
meeting in May in Berlin ( see
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2011 ). We took this
meeting already into account in our planning on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Timeline because
there are several topics that would really benefit from real life
discussions.
To be able to organize this well, we would like to get your input on
some topics. First of all, the day. The developer workshop will be
Friday - Sunday, and for this Wiki Loves Monuments meeting we can choose
to organize it on the Thursday before this developers meeting, or on the
Friday, the first day of the meeting parallel. The main advantage of
Thursday is that there is no overlap, so people can attend both, and
that we can use the outcomes of the WLM meeting as input for the
developer meeting. The main advantages of Friday are that people with a
job need to take a day less off, and are therefore maybe more likely to
attend.
I would also like to know which topics *you* think are important to
discuss at such a meeting. Please bear in mind that there will also be
the chapters meeting in March and Wikimania to exchange some thoughts,
so which topics need to be /discussed/.
Finally, I would like you to think about who can attend this (first
discuss this within your group perhaps). Of course we cannot have a huge
meeting, the maximum number of participants will be 20-25. With already
more than 10 chapters participating, and probably some extra people from
the Netherlands attending this meeting to share knowledge from last
year, this would limit attendance to 1-2 per chapter. Primarily I am
asking who /wants/ to join, and whether you would be able to afford
these costs as a chapter yourself. If you can't please indicate this - I
am trying to find a solution. Also, if your chapter is able to cover
some extra travel costs for another chapter, that would be mostly
welcome. Please let me know via this list or privately.
The dates are currently still debated - most likely it will be either
the weekend of 21/22 or the weekend of 14/15 May, with the preceeding
Friday/Thursday.
Looking forward to your input,
Lodewijk
