Your Public Policy Schedule for Wikimania
by Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hi everyone! My social media timelines are overflowing with posts about packing, flying and eating tacos and cats in suitcases, which can only mean Wikimania is just around the corner. As last year, we have a pretty generous amount of public policy events set up. Here are some (but not all) of them. Conveniently ordered chronologically. - Wikimedia Conference Follow-Up Day <https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMCON_Follow-Up_Day>, Wednesday, July 15, 13:00hrs, Conference venue Inform people about the movement goals we want to set, get the conversation going and people thinking so they have some time to reflect ahead of the talks. - The Twilight of EU Copyright Reform, or, How to reform with a hammer, <https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_Twilight_of_EU_Cop…> Friday, July 17, 15:00hrs Once again we're looking at how crowd-sourced advocacy works, but this time expect concrete examples of what Wikimedia did in Europe to try and influence the copyright reform to include text that supports free knowledge. You will see legislative texts proposed and by us and also get an explanation why certain parts didn't make it to the final version. We'll also discuss the question of how an international public policy structure should look like. - #npbmex <https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/npbmex>, Friday July 17, 20:00, Gathering at the lobby of the One Almeda Hotel (Av. Juárez 88) - Informal and social meet-up of all people interested in net politics (copyright, network infrastructure, data protection, telecoms regulation, etc.). Will mingle Wikimaniacs with local net activists. - Public Policy Meetup <https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Public_Policy_meet-up>, Saturday, July 18, 10:30, Conference venue (Chapters' village) Wikimedians interested in public policy are invited to get to know each other, discuss the issues, plans and solutions at Wikimania. - Amplify Free Knowledge with Public Policy <https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Amplify_Free_Knowledge…> Sunday, July 19, 11:00hrs, Conference venue The WMF legal team will discuss the core policy issues lay out some initial next steps that to better articulate our positions and make it easier for volunteers to work locally to build better public policy for the Wikimedia movement. - Copyright reform in the EU - What you can expect to happen <https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Copyright_reform_in_th…>, Sunday, July 19, 11:30hrs, Conference venue The inside scoop by Julia Reda, Member of the European Parliament and rapporteur on the copyright implementation report.

by Daniel Schwen 12 Jul '15

12 Jul '15

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to get a subscription for the Infinitum WiFi (Telmex) without getting phone service. It looks like Telmex owns a ton of WiFi hotspots and such a subscription would be pretty useful for me. If so, how can I buy it (where? there online site is mucho confusing :-( ) Cheers, Daniel
