As you probably know by now, Wikimania 2016 Esino Lario wants to achieve
a Wikimania format which allows people to "get things done" and leave
the conference fully satisfied with the result of their investment of
time and other resources (see pillars 2 and 4:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario/Pillars ).
For this purpose, we consider all audiences (see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario/Program#Tar…
).
Participants other than scholarship recipients and reimbursed
representatives are one group we heard very little from, but we think
they are important because: 1) they have financial resources and help
make the Wikimania budget sustainable; 2) they have motivation to share
and ideas on what makes Wikimania valuable.
We set up this form mainly to collect names of some such people and talk
with them later: if you provide your contact, we may write you on this
topic. We may release aggregate data from the resposes; data will be
handled by us and the Wikimania 2016 fiscal sponsor "Ecomuseo delle
Grigne" (under EU law). Please fill the whole form, it's short!

Feel free to forward this invite to anyone.
Thanks,

dear all,
two filmmakers are working on a documentary film about Wikimania Esino Lario and they are applying for a IEG support. They are not Wikipedians/Wikimedians but I personally think their proposal makes sense and it can really show our Wikimedia community in a peculiar but relevant way, focusing on coexistence, collaboration, tradition and modernity (which are not one against the other).
the project is on meta with a teaser (they have been working on the film already for the past 9 months)[1]
if you think the film makes sense please do not hesitate to endorse the project or to add your comments and suggestions.

Hi everyone, the featured speakers videos are up now, both on Commons and
Youtube. We have two versions of each speaker, the original audio and the
simultaneous translation English or Spanish according to the case.

Our volunteers will work in the next months in the closed caption of each
talk. Will be very nice if we can have many translations many languages as
possible.
We have pending only the publication of the Wikimania 15 documentary, that
will be premiered soon at National Film Archive of Mexico (Cineteca
Nacional) and TV UNAM, public digital TV with national reach, and then
shared by all our channels. Stay tuned!
Thanks again for the great moments we lived in Mexico City.
Cheers,
