Donation of Photographic Equipment in Wikimania
by Béria Lima 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

(Frist of all I realize that this probably not interesting for most of you, but before it's too late I'd like to share an opportunity) So, Commons has a program called "Equipment Exchange" and a month ago I placed a camera there for donation that I intended to give to someone at Wikimania to avoid shipping and taxes costs. Since is a page who don't get lots of clicks I thought I would link it here. The page is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Equipment_exchange#Donation:_Nik… Thank you! _____ *Béria L. de Rodríguez* *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano. Ajude-nos a construir esse sonho.*
