Hello everyone,
Just a reminder that the WMF will have an unofficial, community-member-staffed table at the Students for Free Culture conference, on Oct 11 on the UC Berkeley campus. Find out more about the conference here: http://conference.freeculture.org/ (Note that we will not table on Oct. 12, which is more of a planning-meeting/unconference day for SFFC).
Tabling runs from 10am--7pm. We'll start setup sometime after 8am. So far we just have a basic table & chairs reserved. Hopefully we will get buttons or stickers to handout. Any ideas for other things we could do, such as displays on laptops (especially static displays -- the internet access will probably be sketchy), signs, displays of works reusing Wikimedia content, etc. etc., would be great.
I'm planning to be there all day. If you are planning on attending and would like to help out with tabling, please let me know directly with what times you are interested in being there, and I'll try to coordinate a volunteer schedule. If you know of other wikipedians who are attending from afar who would be interested in helping out but might not get this, please forward it along.
best, Phoebe (phoebe.ayers@gmail.com)
Heya Phoebe -
I'll check with Brion and the gang at the office to see if maybe there is some kind of powerpoint slide show that can be provided instead of relying on the potentially sketchy internet connection. A really ambitious person might also create a flickr slide show of the various meetups, mania's and general office stuff like pictures of Rob and his beloved server babies. I think based on some feedback from MakerFaire Jay was working on a talking point handout too! I'll double check with Brion to see if we're available to come out for a few hours so long as there is public transportation to/from Bart/Muni.
