Heja Wikimaniacs,
if you were wondering what Bence was talking about in yesterday’s mail when mentioning something called “Chapters Village” THIS is the email you should not miss to read.
Yes, yes, this year there will be a dedicated area for chapters (and other Wikimedia organisations) to present their work, exchange knowledge, talk, inform, socialise and have fun: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_Village. You can find us in the Logo Square.
The Chapters Village will be “open” from Friday till Sunday, during regular conference hours. It is not designed to provide a counter programme to the official conference, this is why we have scheduled meet-ups and speed geeking during the coffee, tea and lunch breaks. The programme appears in the official programme brochure; on top of that, we have printed a nice leaflet to spread on-site.
Here's the PDF file: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chapters-village_web_120dpi.pdf
You can find the detailed (and always up-to-date) programme here: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_Village#Programme:_Join_in.21_Things_we_can_do_together
At the moment, we have 13 chapters and organisations planning to be part of the Chapters Village already. But you can still join in! Just add your plans and ideas to the wiki page.
You are all invited to swing by and say hi, to catch up on the chapters’ projects, plans and programmes, to ask all the questions you always wanted to ask chapters and talk to us about your idea of our common mission.
Feel free to get in touch should you have any questions or ideas to share. Looking forward to seeing you in Hong Kong.
Cheers,
Nicole
