Where will the upcoming round 2 FDC deliberations now be hosted? As I
recall, the Wikimedia Foundation will be submitting a proposal for its
non-core activities in that round, and also that deliberations will not be
hosted by any entities seeking funding in that round.
Of course, please do correct me if my memories are failing me.

hi Nicole,
thank you for the correction, and many apologies that a lack of prompt
communication from the side of the FDC and FDC staff has resulted in some
misunderstanding in this area. I think I am not the only one in the FDC,
who at some point would love to see the deliberations take place in the
same time as our movement events, preferably even as a rule (and, in fact,
I hope we'll be able to coordinate better in 2015). This time it seems that
the schedule is not very favorable and we most likely will hold our
deliberations in May.
best,
dj "pundit"

Dear Wikimedians,
in our invitation to next year’s Wikimedia Conference, we mistakenly
stated that the FDC will hold their meeting during the event in
Berlin, too.
In all previous discussions and emails around the Wikimedia
Conference, it was kind of taken for granted that the process would
just be the same as it was in 2013: We proceeded on the assumption
that the FDC deliberations would take place during the conference
again[1], but never approached and invited them directly.
We were now informed that their meeting will not take place in April,
but most probably a few weeks later, in May (still to be confirmed).
We are sorry if we have caused any confusion and, of course, keep up
our invitation to all FDC members and FDC staff to join us in Berlin
and participate in talks and discussions.
Best regards,
Nicole

Wikimedia
Conference.[1] We will be hosting the event from April 10-13 at
Tagesspiegel Tagungszentrum, in the heart of Berlin.
In addition, I am delighted that the Funds Dissemination Committee and
the
Affiliations Committee will hold their annual
meetings as part of the
conference as well. This will give us all the opportunity to talk,
discuss
> ideas, exchange experience, build capacities and shape the future of
our
movement
together. I am extending this invitation also to the board and
staff of the Wikimedia Foundation, and I hope that they again choose to
join us for a couple of productive days.
== Themes and program ==
The program team [2] has already kicked-off its planning process and is
now
collecting topics and themes from all movement
entities. Team members
come

conference

The team is supported by Anna Lena Schiller, who is facilitating the
whole
process in the months before and after the
conference. Nicole Ebber, as
head of WMDE’s International Affairs unit, is a member of the program
team
and will also liaise between the team, the event
management and the
facilitator.
== Participation and registration ==
Based on the conference themes, the program team will make a
recommendation
regarding the number and type (board, staff) of
representatives per
affiliation. This includes a consultation with the AffCom to come up
with a

in
their FDC
proposals, project and events or other WMF grants and are
responsible for covering these costs and booking their flights/trains
themselves. For all those who have not budgeted for the conference,
travel
grants are offered and can be applied for in the
registration process.
Their bookings will be handled by the WMF travel coordinator.
Following the same principle, we will offer standard 4-bed-rooms in a
hostel for everyone. Hotel beds will be available, but please not that
the
travel grants only allow for the hostel
accommodation. We will block a
range of beds in nearby hotels for that purpose.
Free food will be provided on all conference days at the venue, and
Wikimedia Deutschland will host a light dinner at the new WMDE office
every

the logistics, you can reach out to her and her team via

On behalf of the Wikimedia Deutschland board, I am looking forward to
welcoming you in Berlin in April!
Best regards,
Pavel Richter
