---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Moushira Elamrawy <moushirah(a)gmail.com> Date: Dec 24, 2007 2:25 PM Subject: [Foundation-l] Wikimania dates--Changed To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear all, This is to inform you that Wikimania dates has been changed to 17-19 July. We hope this fits better with the Euro/American week formats; so as to avoid a conference that would cross two weeks and end on a Monday, as in the previous date. Thank you, Moushira _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 --- Note: This e-mail address is used for mailing lists.

Wikimania 2008 date & first IRC public meeting
by simonpedia 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

Mido, I just discovered you’ve had a few meetings already. Have made a link on this page HYPERLINK "http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2008"http://meta.wikimedia.org/wik i/Wikimania_2008 at “planning” to here HYPERLINK "http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planning/Main_Page"http://wikimania 2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planning/Main_Page so the less informed might know too. But you might want to make it more obvious. The lack of clear linkages between projects, as they move forward at differing speeds, is the same for all. Look, would you consider using skype for some of these discussions? I’m not really used to using it a lot but it would seem friendlier than IRC (by itself) Have put a link to a Skypecast room I just set up, on this page HYPERLINK "http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group"http://meta.wik imedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group (bottom right) It could be left open all the time, if it’s a useful thing. I can send the password if yu want. Yu could set up your own but that would just replicate the silo effect of the wiki elists. I’m trying to find out which comms tools will be the most convenient to global groups, who are locked into their vertical walls and narrow channels. I’ll also mention that I’d quite happily beat the bushes to see about doing a global link up between Alexandria and the runners up and next year’s winner, using a fatter version of Skypecast called the Accessgrid. HYPERLINK "http://www.accessgrid.org/"http://www.accessgrid.org/ This is one thing they do every year to get some practice. HYPERLINK "http://digitalunion.osu.edu/megaconference/"http://digitalunion.osu.edu/meg aconference/ I think the Bibliotech geeks (or a local uni) would be able to cover it, and I’ve mentioned it to a few other node operators for a while now. So as long as there is an interesting programme, which might include a few big names, who could pipe in from global places, I’m sure they’d help. It might be useful for getting a few other National Libraries involved. E.g The one in Oz has a fat pipe next door too. Anyway, give it some thought would you?

by Mido 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

Dear all, First, I'd like to apologize for the mistake that happened today. Please make sure it won't happen again I can't say sorry enough to the people who attended and waited for us, I hope this was never ever happen again, there was a lot of circumstances that happen together either for me or other team members, this was certainly not on purpose and should have been a notice that it can be canceled, we were in the last day of Eid and I didn't have internet access nearly all day due to a personal event I attended outside home. I apologize again for this.. We're having our next meeting here in Alexandria on Monday, meanwhile we can arrange for the next meeting please advise when to be suitable, I dunno when you guys start your Christmas holidays and when it would be convenient to hold that meeting. one more thing, I'd like to thank all the guys active on the wiki and here on the mailing list during the last period, I'm looking forward that we will bring out a wonderful event together. sorry for the inconvenience today may have caused you. have a good holiday :) Mido -- - Arabic Wikipedia: http://ar.wikipedia.org/ "Share your knowledge"
