Hey everyone,
You may have seen the Wikimedia Space stickers around… What’s that all about, you ask?
The Wikimedia Space meetup is a gathering to demo and get feedback on the new blog/discussion platform being built around the needs of movement organizers and newcomers.
Come see features like the movement-wide calendar and map, closed discussion groups, and talk about how Space can help consolidate your communication channels into one. We'll show you how easy it is. I would love your feedback on how we can build the tools that you want and need. The goal is to build with you!
When: Tomorrow, Saturday, August 17 at lunch hour, from 13-14:00.
Where: Community Engagement table at the Community Village. Södra Huset area B, go down the stairs and to the left.
Sign up, or just show up:

The New Sister Projects Meetup is a gathering together of Wikimedians
interested in experimenting with proposals for new sister projects.
There has been no new sister project since 2012!
Let's talk about ways to make a more agile process where it is much easier
to start small new projects to see if they work out, and maybe also to
merge old projects if they do not work out.
One such proposal is Wikispore, which involves a Community Wishlist-style
contest, but existing proposals like Wikimedia genealogy project, as well
as all subject-based and general ideas will be considered.
Technical input from small wiki founders/administrators and MediaWiki
developers/installers will also be more than welcome!
Since this conflicts with other important meetups, we will be glad to
schedule a follow-up session later at Wikimania if there is interest.
**Saturday, 17 August, 13:00 – 14:00 (1:00 - 2:00 pm) Central European
Summer Time - meet at lunchtime in Lessing (D499)**

Hi all,
we are organizing a meetup during Sunday lunch for people who are working
on some form of editor retention (or planning to work, or just interested).
If you are involved in things like mentoring or welcoming new users or
doing research about user engagement, and would like to exchange
experiences, this is for you! The hope is that we can use it kick off some
form of longer-term collaboration between people working in this area.
More info here:

Subject: Documentary film crew at Wikimania
Hello everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation Communications department has been in touch with a
production crew that is working on a documentary about Wikipedia. They are
planning to film at Wikimania this year in interviews with volunteers (you
may seem them around today outside!) as well as some select sessions of the
conference. The crew will be joined by a member of WMF Comms or our PR
agency partner. We wanted to share some information with you all about the
production crew and how they will be engaging at Wikimania.
We are working with the crew and space leaders to film some sessions of the
conference, and some of the crew will walk around to speak with different
volunteers for initial, non-filmed conversations. The crew is also aware of
the filming and photography policy and that those individuals wearing
colored lanyards wish not to be filmed or photographed. If anyone can be
seen directly in the shot, the crew will ask their permission before
filming.
For a bit about the documentary - this will be a documentary film about the
people and movement behind Wikipedia - why people get involved in the
movement, what makes them stay, and specific opportunities and challenges
ahead. They are hoping to release the film in time for Wikipedia’s 20th
anniversary. They are still in the very early stages of production.
We think this is an exciting opportunity and look forward to working
closely with the filmmaker as the documentary develops.
If you have questions or concerns about being filmed or how the crew will
be interacting at Wikimania, please reach out to myself and Greg Varnum
(cc’ed from WMF Comms).
Thank you,
Sam

Dear Wikimedians,
We would like to use the opportunity of our global gathering to remember
and mourn the community members that have left us.
Instead of including this in a speech, I would like to arrange a small
corner within the Wikimania venue where everyone can remember and mourn,
similar to what we did at the Wikimedia Conference 2018.[1] The corner will
be in a quieter part of the venue.
I would kindly ask you to send me, Cornelius, the relevant information
(name or nickname, photo if possible, date of birth/death if
possible), by August
9, 24:00 CEST, so everything can be arranged accordingly.
With such a space, we hope to both honor those that have left us, as well
as give those that want to mourn a dedicated place to do so.
Best regards
Cornelius

More details will be provided next week.
