I m not sure if its still early in the process but would it make sense somebody from Ghana participates? ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Von: "Chris Keating" chriskeatingwiki@gmail.com Datum: 05.12.2013 19:40 Betreff: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Registration open for Chapter Board workshop An: "Wikimedia Mailing List" wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Also, in response to a query: It is possible to register without paying registration right away. If you click "Other Payment Options" you can select one of those and we will settle up with you eventually. :-)

***Registration is now open for the Wikimedia Boards Training Workshop in London, 1-2 March 2014.***
Are you a Board member of a Wikimedia Chapter or Thematic Organisation? Then this workshop is for you! We are drawing on expertise from within
the
Wikimedia movement and beyond to produce a two-day training session which will aim to give Board members the skills and knowledge to do a great
job.
The programme and venue details for the workshop is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Boards_training_workshop_March_2014
You can register for the event here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/register?orderid=233759341483
Registration is open to all Wikimedia chapter / thematic org board members but those who have, or expect to recruit, staff will gain the
most
out of it. Registration costs £50, and accommodation options will cost
£70
or cost £120 per night. There is a maximum of 20 places available.
Some frequently asked questions:
- Are there scholarships?
Yes. If your chapter / organisation is not able to cover the costs, please fill in the "Will you require a scholarship to attend?" box on the form with an estimate of how much your travel will be. There will be a number of scholarships on offer. All scholarships offered will cover registration, food, accommodation and travel (no-one is expected to pay
for
this event out of their own pocket). We will be in touch with everyone requesting a scholarship within 2 weeks with a definite answer.
- What if my attendance depends on visas / being re-elected?
If you register but are unable to attend because of visa issues, or if you leave your organisation's Board before the workshop, we will offer
your
place to someone else from your chapter/organisation. Also, if you need a visa, Wikimedia UK will help (e.g. with a letter of invitation).
- This is a great idea but is too far away from me - what can I do?
This is a first step and hopefully, if it succeeds, there will be more similar events in future. (Hopefully not all of them will be in London or in English, either). If you feel that training and supporting boards is important, then you can also raise this in the calls for programme for
the
Wikimedia Conference and Wikimania.
Regards,
Chris on behalf of Wikimedia UK and the organising committee
