Hi all,
on Friday May 13, 2011 there will be an international Wiki Loves Monuments
workshop in Berlin. This workshop will be organized by me and Maarten and
Wikimedia Deutschland.
Because we're organizing a European contest, we would like to make sure that
every participating country/region is going to be represented at this
workshop, so that we can coordinate matters, exchange experiences and help
wach other with problems.
*who is coming*
I would like to ask all participating countries to check with themselves who
will be going. There is a maximum of 25 participants, so please restrict
yourself in sending people. There will be no absolute maxima at this stage,
but I ask for your understanding. Please send *asap* on this list who will
be coming. We will then provide you with a code to register.
*costs*
The costs for this meeting will be 25-35 euro per night, incl breakfast and
your own travel costs. If you are representing a chapter that would like to
join WLM and to attend, but does not have the funds, please send your
details anyway, and let us know that you need financial support. We will
find a way to support you.
*program*
The program still will have to be figured out. However, on

you
can find several topics that will have to be discussed.
*hackathon*
This workshop is coupled to the hackathon happening 13-15 May in Berlin too.
This allows for interaction with the developers, and ways to ask them to
help us write tools etc which we need. See for more information about the
hackathon:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2011 . If you are
a developer, you will also be able to register there. Some developers might
also attend our workshop. If you're a developer, consider to hang around two
more days :)
If you have any questions, please ask them. I dont have to remind you that
we need to act quickly here, sorry for the delays, because the tickets will
get more expensive etc.
Best regards,
Lodewijk
