Re: [Wikimania-l] How to get a pre-paid SIM card for Wikimania in 15 easy steps

Or walk around hoping for and failing to find a shop with someone who speak English, and regretting not knowing Spanish. I ended up managing to buy a sim a bit further down the road in the same direction for $130 which comes with a bit of credit. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. -------- Original message -------- From: Stuart Prior <stuart.prior(a)wikimedia.org.uk> Date:14/07/2015 12:09 (GMT-06:00) To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" <wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Subject: Re: [Wikimania-l] How to get a pre-paid SIM card for Wikimania in 15 easy steps +1Alternatively:Go to an internet cafe in Insurgentes.Buy simcard there.Have to go to another place to get it cut down to nano size for 25 pesos.Momentarily lose your original simcard.Give up on the actual credit thing and spend a load on roaming with your domestic plan.Go to another place a couple of days later but then realise you don't actually have your new Mexican number so you can't get a data plan.Go through a complicated transaction to find out and be immensely grateful for your Hispanophone friend.Eventually get it all sorted out.Or you can try Siebrand's way.SOn 14 July 2015 at 17:00, Siebrand Mazeland <siebrand(a)kitano.nl> wrote:Bring ID, and 210 peso cash or a credit cardGo to Telcel store "Centro de Atencion a clientes Telcel" on Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas.

Explainer video workshop during Wikimania Pre-Conference
by Claudia Garád 14 Jul '15

14 Jul '15

Hi everyone, are you looking for some interesting things to do during Wikimania Pre-Conference? Well, perhaps this is for you: on*Thursday afternoon*, we will be hosting a workshop for creating animated explainer videos for Wikimedia projects: https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop_for_Explainer_Videos Videos have become a popular format for the dissemination of information - especially short animated explainer videos which provide a quick overview over complex topics. The same principle applies to Wikipedia: videos can enrich exisiting content and provide an entertaining and easily comprehensible access to free knowledge. Together with experts from the simpleshow foundation Wikimedia Österreich offers workshops for Wikimedians which are designed to learn the tricks of the trade of screenwriting for explainer videos. In the context of this year’s Wikimania we are happy to host such a workshop for the international community*.* Content of the workshop * Interested participants will learn the basic skills for creating plots of explainer videos: how to explain complex topics in a short and comprehensible way, how to work with cut-out animation, storyboard conception and visualization * The participants create and refine their scripts and storyboards together with the simpleshow foundation after the workshop * The realization and production of the finished storyboard will be done by the simpleshow foundation, the result will be published under the CC-BY-SA license on Wikimedia Commons * The screenwriters can use the videos for Wikipedia articles and other purposes What do you need? * Interest in storytelling * A topic for an explainer video * No previous knowledge in screenwriting or video production necessary Please sign up here: https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop_for_Explainer_Videos Claudia -- Claudia Garád Executive Director Wikimedia Österreich - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Siebensterngasse 25/15 1070 Wien 0699 141 28615 www.wikimedia.at <http://www.wikimedia.at/>

by Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov 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. What are the European Parliament and the European Commission likely to propose? - Panel Discussion on regional policy, politics and freedom of expression Sunday, July 19, 16:30hrs, Conference venue with Katitza Rodriguez (EFF), Paz Peña (Derechos Digitales from Chile), Renata Avila (Web We Want), Article 19, R3DMX More information about the discussion regarding our public policy goals and up-to-date events changes at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Advocacy/Movement_Goals See you all very soon!
