Dear Houssem,
Coming back to you after a holiday break :-)
No worry for the effort, if I can support the group’s events through this mean I am more than happy to do that.
For the timing, I guess there is no ideal schedule and you must indeed deal with venues that are available.
This being said, I don’t think the group's legal status should play a role. As it was pointed out in the article, my colleagues never mentioned the association because they would appear as amateurs towards event organizers; they actually come to them saying something like ‘through me your event will have visibility on one of the most visited websites in Tunisia’ and without discussing into details what their actual role was. It has worked well, especially because they have built a little pager showing good pictures of the events they have been given access to. I imagine that if you come now and contact festival organizers indicating you were given access to JCC, I guess it would more easily open doors.
This being said, I agree with you it is important to appear as much ‘professional’ as possible in this approach, meaning having good quality material and skills. I am sure material can be bought through microgrants (except if other group members can share theirs) and skills can be shared because I know there are some good photographers in the group.
Regards, Mourad

Dear Mourad,
First i want to apologize for not highlighting the huge effort you put for making the meta page of the event and the articles list. Your support was very important. So thank you for all.
For the timing, I thought that in weekends, youth go back to their hometowns to see their families, plus most of the venues are not available because they have their own events. But this event proved I was wrong.
Thanks for sharing the Swiss experience, but do you think this is sustainable in our case without a legal status for the group? In JCC I managed to get the badge because I was a friend of the team. But what about the rest?
Have a nice sunday,
Houssem

Thanks for sharing this outcome!
I think the fact the editathon was programmed during a week day might have contributed to the low level of participation. If possible, it is always better to organize such events during week-ends so people who work or study during the week can come.
Regarding the partnering with various organizations to get privileged accessibility to events, I think this is a great approach and the group should leverage what happened with JCC to get access to further events. This logic was well described by some colleagues of Wikimedia Switzerland back in 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-02-14/Accred... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-02-14/Accreditation.

Dear Friends,
I hope you are all doing great.
I want to share with you the output of the editathon.
So concerning the event in itself, unfortunately it was not really successful as we were only 4 participating physically and 0 remotely. I want to thank Afek and Sami for showing up and contributing.
About the output, as the number of participants was low, quantity of contributions was as well. We created only 10 articles and improved 7. Languages were only arabic, english and french.
Yet, we have uploaded 260 photos of more than 90 African country, plus some photos of the festival itself.
This was also an opportunity to take photos of Dar El Harka.
So the lessons learnt through this experience are:
*Partnering with the media departments of festivals is very useful and give us more accessibility and better quality, yet next time, I suggest that someone more experienced with taking portraits goes instead, as the quality of the photos I took is not that great. *We have a problem with communication on social media. Only 25 applied to come and only 1 came. *More communication within the team as noone apart of Afek and Sami participated. *Preparing a budget in the begining of the year for such events.
Thanks everyone and have a nice weekend,
Houssem

I just shared the registration link on the Facebook page.
Please share it with your communities or people you know might be interested in joining.
I hope I can see you next week. As I said beofre, the goal of this event is not to train new contributors, but to really write, so experienced wikimedians are really needed. Participation can be remotely of course. No need for physical presence.
@Habib M'henni mailto:habib.mhenni@gmail.com , you think there is some money to buy the coffee break?
Also, I will need Wikimedia's Tunisie's banderole? Who has it? I saw it in photos of your editathon @Emna Mizouni mailto:emna.mizouni@gmail.com
And finally, do we have any pins or goodies left from previous events that I can give to participants?
Have a great sunday,
Houssem

Je voulais juste partager avec vous un projet semlable fait au Québec pour photographier des artistes locaux. Ce qu'il faut c'est un petit kiosque lors du festival pour attirer les artistes avec comme argument pour leurs représentants de changer/mettre une photo sur leurs pages wiki. SVP aussi choisir la licence CC-00 pour faciliter la circulation des données. https://ca.wikimedia.org/wiki/Projet_Tapis_Rouges?uselang=fr https://ca.wikimedia.org/wiki/Projet_Tapis_Rouges?uselang=fr

Hi Again Everyone
@mourad the program has been released in the website (films for competition). I think we can start working on the meta page.
Also, can anyone help me with making a photo for the event (to announce it) to share on social media?
I was thinking of the 6th of November afternoon for the editathon? Who has other suggestions? I count on you to be present physically or remotely as the purpose of this event is not to train new contributors but to really write about cinema in Tunisia and Africa in general.
Have a nice weekend,
Houssem

I can help with the meta page. Do you know when the 2018 program will be available? It does not seem it is published on the website yet. Once I have it, I can determine the list of personalities who might attend based on the list of films.

Dear friends,
I have some good newe about this editathon.
I talked with the media team of Carthage Film Festival and I managed to get us journalist badges to take photos of the event and artists. Also, I received the approval of ElSpace, a coworking space in downtown specialized in IT and innovation, they will host the event for free.
All I need now is someone to help me with creating the meta page for the event and set a list of articles to write. Also, I need access to the social media accounts so that I can communicate about it easily. Who can help me with this?
Kind regards, Houssem

Hello
I hope you are all doing well.
I was wondering, is there anyone interested in joining me to organize an editathon about Tunisian and African cinema simultaneously to Carthage Film Festival or few days before?
I was thinking also that we can contact the organizing committee to get badges and have access to the projections and the artists who will be present. Can we do that?
Kind regards, Houssem
