Hi Jon, no, not this case. The pub thing happens only for Ze Germans so that they are happy not to talk to each other anymore during Wikimania. The one I'm talking about here is for all people worldwide who are intested/active in volunteer support. No similarities between these two :-) best wishes, Dirk 2014-07-18 14:31 GMT+02:00 Jon Davies <jon.davies(a)wikimedia.org.uk>: > Dirk - I believe the meet up is now in the William Blake Pub - you need to > change the location on the page. > > http://www.thewilliamblake.co.uk/find-us/ > > Jon > > > 2014-07-18 13:00 GMT+01:00 Dirk Franke <dirk.franke(a)wikimedia.de>: > > > Dear list readers, > > > > I apologize for the inconvience, but have to make a small correcton. > > > > The Volunteer Support Workshop will happen on > > > > Thursday, August 7(!) > > > > > https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pre-conference:_Volunteer_Support > > > > not the day before as previously stated. > > > > Best wishes, > > Dirk > > > > -- > > Dirk Franke > > Team Communitys > > Volunteer Support Dept. > > > > Fon +49 30 219158260 > > E-Mail: dirk.franke(a)wikimedia.de <denis.barthel(a)wikimedia.de> > > > > -- > > Stellen Sie sich eine Welt vor, in der jeder Mensch freien Zugang zu der > > Gesamtheit des Wissens der Menschheit hat.

Invitation Volunteer Support Workshop / Pre-Wikimania
by Dirk Franke 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Dear volunteer supporters all over! For some years now all over the Wikimania movement people have been building up structures and networks for Volunteer Support. Different solutions have been found as to how volunteers can best be supported around the Wikimedia movement. We would like to invite you to a Volunteer Support meetup! https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pre-conference:_Volunteer_Support barcamp - 06. August from 10-16h Wikimedia UK Development House 56-64 Leonard Street London England EC2A 4LT A barcamp-like meetup for all those who implement and take care of Volunteer Support programs in the movement - be you volunteer or employee of a Wikimedia organisation. Whenever some of us doing volunteer support came together we quickly noticed that we shared a lot of experiences and questions. Let’s share those experiences we made, find answers to questions together and find out what great solutions people in other parts of the world found. Get to know your neighbouring volunteer supporters or find out what the other side of the globe does to support volunteers! See you there!

Wikimania Travelguide
by Edward Saperia 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi all, Wikivoyage has been producing a travel guide for Wikimania delegates. The idea is to provide a comprehensive guide to the area within a short walking distance from the conference venue and main hotels. It's pretty good already but could always be better - contributors welcomed: https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikimania_2014_London_Guidebook *Edward Saperia* Conference Director Wikimania London <http://www.wikimanialondon.org> email <ed(a)wikimanialondon.org> • facebook <http://www.facebook.com/edsaperia> • twitter <http://www.twitter.com/edsaperia> • 07796955572 133-135 Bethnal Green Road, E2 7DG

Hotel update
by Andrew Gray 12 Jul '14

12 Jul '14

Hi all, If anyone else is still looking for hotels, the cheapest one currently available nearby seems to be the London Central City Road Travelodge - it's about 10 minutes walk from the venue. (Double rooms only, as far as I can tell, no twins.) I've stayed there before visiting WMUK (their office is about ten minutes in the opposite direction) - it's perfectly comfortable if a bit dull. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk

List of scholarship attendees
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 12 Jul '14

12 Jul '14

Hello, https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Attendees is still basically empty. I've not yet decided whether to attend Wikimania this year; a major factor will be who I can meet/do something with there (together with accommodation cost). Therefore, WMF scholarship administrators, please paste the list of already-funded scholarship recipients (usernames) on the page. Knowing what bunch of wonderful Wikimedia volunteers already got selected will be very inspiring/compelling. (I believe WMF staff attendees were already decided as well? Chapter scholarships and affiliates' attendees can be added later.) Cf. * <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/Vision_2015> * <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/SWOT_2005-2014_and_g…> (read again if you missed past discussions and/or you're thinking of boycotting my summer planning ;) ).

Wikimania needs you!
by HJ Mitchell 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Hi folks, We're looking for extra hands to help with he smooth running of this year's Wikimania, so I would be extremely grateful if any of you would consider giving a few hours of your time. We will need volunteers to: * staff the registration desk, especially on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, when we expect to be at our busiest * moderate/invigilate sessions * direct attendees around the venue, and between the venue and other points (eg tube stations and hotels) * staff the information desk, assisting attendees with queries * help with streaming/recording sessions. That's a non-exhaustive list, but if any of those roles appeal to you, or if you're interested in helping in another capacity, please complete the form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dzXSoAnHF6StkBA2mKIklse6gZA6Uw-EIT2egTLC3e… or email me with any questions at harry(a)wikimanialondon.org. Being an editor is not a prerequisite, so please do share this with anyone else you think might be interested. For those of you in or around London (which I appreciate is a minority on this list), we are holding informal social events for volunteers in the weeks running up to Wikimania so that volunteers can get to know each other and get to know the the team, and these will be a great opportunity to learn more about Wikimania and get involved. These are scheduled for Sunday evenings: 22 June, 6 July, and 20 July (18:00-20:00); if there is significant demand, we may consider scheduling further events. If you'd like to come to any of these events, please let me know by email (harry(a)wikimanialondon.org) or sign up on the wiki at https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_drinks. Any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks, Harry Mitchell http://enwp.org/User:HJ Phone: 024 7698 0977 Skype: harry_j_mitchell

Happy one year inactive
by Nkansah Rexford 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi, I've been monitoring the Wikimania page on Google plus for some time now and its managed to go a year solid without any activity. https://plus.google.com/116447448432892218985 Its likely obvious it needs someone to contribute to. I'm sure the current managers of the page are die hard twitter and Facebook users. Thus o believe bringing die hard Google plus users to manage the page will also help. If I can assist in this way, I'll be glad to. I only have my official presence on google plus, so you can be assured it won't be inactive.

Rencontre de Wikimédiens francophones durant Wikimania/ flyers de projets
by Charles Andrès 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Bonjour à tous, Wikimania est une des rares opportunités pour permettre la rencontre de wikimédiens francophones de toute la planète. Le dîner du 8 août n’étant pas compris dans le programme de Wikimania, je vous propose donc une rencontre ce soir là: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetups/French_speaker_meetup Je profite de ce mail pour rappeler à tous qu’il est possible de faire imprimer de petits flyers décrivant vos projets, et ce même si vous ne participez pas à wikimania: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_Leaflets Et dernière annonce, les wikimédiens francophones venant de pays sans chapter peuvent me contacter s’ils ont besoin de brochures imprimées ou de matériels de communication pour leurs projets. Charles ___________________________________________________________ I use this email for mailing list only.
