Podcast Source Code Berlin about Wikimania
by Nicole Ebber 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Dear all, I would like to draw your attention to our podcast “Source code Berlin”[1], especially to the latest two episodes which are set in Esino Lario. “Listening to Wikimania 2016”[2] and “Wikipedians: Voices of a Global Movement”[3] both cover stories and insights from participants of Wikimania as well as thoughts on Wikidata, Wikipedia and Education, Wikipedia Zero. You will hear familiar voices, as these episodes for example feature Shani Evenstein, María Cruz, and Marta Pigazzini. Every two weeks, the podcast contributes to the dissemination of our topics and issues such as open culture, open knowledge, and open data. In addition we are focusing more on stories from the Wikiverse, in order to engage the audience with our topics, and reaching out to developers who are already somewhat familiar and interested in working with Wikimedia projects. Podcast contributors come from all different backgrounds, providing a good diversity of topics. The show’s host is Mark Fonseca Rendeiro, who might be better known to some you of as Bicyclemark. You can subscribe to the podcast via your favourite podcatcher, like it on facebook[4] or follow on twitter[5]. We are also looking for suggestions for topics for future episodes, or hints to people you would love to hear being interviewed. Please drop us a line via sourcecodeberlin(a)wikimedia.de Happy listening!

Discussion Room 2017
by Lodewijk 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hey Marc, all, Based on this conversation, I took a look at the programme draft here <https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programme>. I noticed that the Round table discussions <https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Discussions> (a.k.a. Discussion Room) are not scheduled. Given the description that is available on the wiki, I presume this is not covered by the 'birds of a feather'. I do hope we can schedule the round table discussions again, and that we can implement some of the lessons we're drawing from the experiences in the past three years on this issue (we = the small committee that organised the discussions this year). Feedback seemed rather positive initially (with some suggestions for improvement), but we'll be collecting some more in the upcoming weeks.
