Hi Wikimaniacs!
Wikimania is just around the corner and many people looking forward to the wide range of topics. Following the general idea of sharing knowledge about best practices, the Volunteer Support Department of Wikimedia Deutschland warmly invites you to the pre-conference workshops “Engaging local Wikipedians” and “German Wikipedia”.
*“Engaging local Wikipedians” workshop*
The German Chapter supports several groups with the installation, funding, and support of local spaces where community members can sozialize, write articles, plan projects, share knowledge, start cooperations, teach new editors, and so one. These are places where Wikipedians have a face.
Several local groups will hold lightning talks about their activities. Further, a study by Wikimedia Deutschland on the local spaces will be presented. Nevertheless, getting local Wikipedians together does not only work in actual rooms but in several other ways, fitting to the respective needs of the communities and general conditions. One solution for example is the Kumusha Bus that educates several communities in Africa about the Open Movement. Of course, organizing student groups for Wikipedia in several cities is another one.
We warmly invite you to share your experiences in this workshop. Learning from each other is the main goal of this workshop.
Basic information for “Engaging local Wikipedians” workshop:
- Date: Thursday, 23 June - Time: 9.30–13.00 - Place: Villa Rogo (20 min away from the center) - Find more information on https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop:_Engaging_local_Wikipedian...
*“German Wikipedia” workshop*
The community of the German-language Wikipedia is one of the most active ones in the Wikiverse. Several volunteers will attend Wikimania this year and prepared presentations on a broad variety of topics they are interested in, from a presentation of the Young Wikipedians group to a photography workshop focused on flashes.
They warmly invite you into the German house, the Villa Rogo, to the “German Wikipedia” workshop that follows the previous “Engaging local Wikipedians” workshop (we plan to serve Italian pasta for you in our kitchen ;-)).
If you ever wanted to know what the German community is doing, or when you are curious what their affairs of the heart are, join this workshop and be excited!

Hi Wikimaniacs,
Thank you very much for your interest in these two workshops shown onwiki and via mail! Due to some misunderstandings for which we are very sorry, we had to change the rooms for these workshops. We can luckily use the “Meeting” room right in the center of Esino Lario in replace: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario/Meeting_room... http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=45.99450&mlon=9.33335#map=19/45.99506... . The “Engaging local Wikipedians” workshop will take place there from 10 am to noon (12 pm), and the “German Wikipedia” workshop from 2 pm to 5:30 pm. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you in the “Meeting” room! :-) Hope to see you around in Esino Lario.
Best, Martin
