Hi all,
I just thought I'd let you know that I'm meeting (informally) with a couple of people from KDE [1] at their upcoming conference [2] in Dublin - about Wikiversity. (Well, actually, we're meeting this Friday, the day before the conference officially begins, but that's the only day that suits.) From what I gather, they're thinking of using Wikiversity as a training centre/programme for their developers - which sounds like a very practical application for Wikiversity (and applicable to MediaWiki development also), so we'll see what comes out of it. I'm really just there as a person to explain to them what Wikiversity is and what it could be used for, but, since I'm not very technically minded, any ideas or things to bear in mind would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cormac / Cormaggio

I'm very glad you confirm this meeting will happen :) I was afraid the timing would be too short.
I really think this is a very good thing that different projects such as Wikiversity and KDE join together and try to collaborate. I'm currently trying to build other bridges between KDE and other Wikimedia projects, and it seems to people from both side that this kind of collaboration will be mutually beneficial.
Projects coming from the free world (I mean free software, free content, etc.) share the same humanism and the same will to share. They are aiming at the same ideal. Thus, they should try to work together whenever possible.

Wow sweet news.
I think technical part won't be any important. I believe main topic will be learning through wikiveristy enviroment, methods etc. which is your profession, Cormac :) I am looking forward to hear after meeting updates from you.
