Wow, what a great initiative! I'm not applying, just want to say this is another great example of how the world gets to recognize more and more what we have to offer. And who knows, Polish wikivoyage might benefit too?

It will be officially co-organised with Polish Railways. Polish Railways will provide us free tickets for traveling across Poland using any trains and special passes to legally enter and photograph rail tracks, workshops, rail yards, cargo railway stations, museums belonging to Polish Railways etc. In order to get the pass it will be obligatory to undergo a special basic one-day railtrack safety training which will be provided for free by Polish Railways employees. Actually we don't know what time it will happen - for sure during summer, but it is actually to negotiate. It is possible to have several 2-4 people teams. The requirements will be just: *being devoted wiki-photographer ready to submit photos to Wikimedia Commons under free licences *being highly crazy about railways stuff - i.e. be ready to travel across Poland using mainly slow, local trains which stops on every tiny station, sleep in low cost hostels, feed yourself for 32 PLN a day :-) *You don't need to speak Polish - we can try to organize a mixed teams fro both training and expeditions. If there is anyone ready for such a wiki-safari - just drop me an E-mail... -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l

"Polish Railways will provide us free tickets" excellent negotiation! Hey, train enthusiasts everywhere else (including the UK and USA) here is an incredibly tough target for the rest of us to try and beat. :-D

For a railways related job interview, I once had travel-anywhere ticket (they were red back then) for free travel for the day anywhere in the UK, but that was in the days of a more unified railway system.

Matthew Roth, 23/05/2013 19:45: I read it earlier today and I don't understand the instructions, which seem to contradict this: Do those emails still count? Where does one add the name in that page, which seems to have only ready-to-go groups?
