Chapters/Usergroups/Informal groups session for no-budget cooperation
by Pharos 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

I notice that we don't have any sessions at the Hackathon about Chapters/Thematic orgs/Usergroups/informal local groups. I wonder if it might make sense to have something during the Hackathon or one of the lunchtimes to discuss ways to improve communication and cooperation among the many different types and sizes of groups working in the Wikimedia universe. I don't think we should rehash financially intensive projects like the old WCA, but rather look at no-budget projects that can help bring us all together, for example group peer review. Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC

Hello Wikimaniacs, Does anybody at Wikimania use Lycamobile? I've got a £20 top-up voucher which my family left behind when they visited the UK last year. It's still valid. Reply to me off-list if you want it. Deryck

Hi, everyone! I'm planning on seeing Les Misérables tonight, and thought I'd check if anyone else wanted to join. It begins at 1930 at the Queen's Theatre, the nearest Tube stations are Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. If you'd like to join, send me an email or text me at +4797767510. :-)

Re: [Wikimania-l] Not attending Wikimania

Hi, This is the second report I have heard about last minute visa surprises. This kind of problem is disruptive not just for those who were denied entry but for others who were planning on the attendance of the person whose visa was denied. In any case, can you give your presentation remotely? Pine

Not attending Wikimania
by maparrar 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi all, With great regret I inform you that I can not attend Wikimania 2014. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office of UK informed me today that decided not to grant the visa. They say that the letter of support Wikimania should say that I was speaker and that they fear that I'll go to stay to live in UK. For me it is a great pity the situation, I already had everything ready. For your information, my submision is: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Context_visualization_… and be presented on Sunday, August 10th at 14:30. I hope not cause serious problems and that space can be filled. See you at Wikimania 2015 in Mexico. Regards. *--MIGUEL ALEJANDRO PARRALINKEDIN <http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=32465802&trk=tab_pro>::BLOG <http://decabyte.blogspot.com/>*
