Dear all,

In the eleven days since I first sent out the e-mail below, quite a
few chapters have chosen their delegates to the Chapters Conference
2012 or at least an interim contact person for the chapters has signed
up in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2012/Participants.

However, we still haven't received any sign of life from the following
chapters, and our plans are for registration to end in less than two
weeks' time, by February 5th!
So may I please remind you all to speed up the choice of your
representatives to ChapConf12 - our time is running out. I would also
like to repeat that Wikimedia Deutschland, our kind host, will be
covering the flight and accommodation costs for chapters who cannot
afford it themselves.

Please, if you're from one of these chapters - list yourself as an
interim contact person. If you know how to contact anyone from those
chapters and think they are not following the list - please forward
this to them.

* Wikimedia Brazil (chapter-to-be, probably not on this list yet - can
someone forward this to any of their people?)
* Wikimedia Canada (are they on the list?)
* Wikimedia Deutschland
* Wikimedia DC (too busy with Wikimania?)
* Wikimedia Espana
* Wikimedia France
* Wikimedia Hong Kong
* Wikimedia Indonesia (Siska, you there?)
* Wikimedia Italia
* Wikimedia Kazakhstan (chapter-to-be, probably not on this list yet -
can someone forward this to any of their people?)
* Wikimedia Kenya (chapter-to-be, probably not on this list yet - can
someone forward this to any of their people?)
* Wikimedia Macedonia (Kiril, you there?)
* Wikimedia Macau (are they on the list?)
* Wikimedia Mexico
* Wikimedia Norge
* Wikimedia Polska
* Wikimedia Portugal
* Wikimedia Russia
* Wikimedia Serbia
* Wikimedia Taiwan
* Wikimedia Ukraine
* Wikimedia South Africa (apparently being added to the list as we speak)

Thank you everyone!

Program manager for Chapters' Meeting 2012

Quoting harel.cain ARROBA wikimedia.de:

  Dear Chapters,

 I'm delighted to be making my first announcement to you as the Program Manager for
the upcoming Wikimedia Conference and Chapters' Meeting 2012, which will be held in
Berlin on March 30th to April 1st, 2012.
 Thursday, March 29th, will be an open day without a formal schedule, which chapters can
use for any kind of meeting, sessions and workshops in the conference venue (which is
TBA).

 You may know me as a member of Wikimedia Israel (currently its secretary) from previous
Wikimanias and other events, but for this conference I'll be acting on behalf of the
conference host, Wikimedia Deutschland.

 Together we'll work to make this an effective, useful and entertaining conference for
all attendees.
 We're aiming for all 38 recognized chapters and three promising chapters-to-be to
attend the conference. Every chapter will be represented by two people. We want to see
some new faces, so please strive to have at least one of them be new to the chapters'
conference and to international Wikimedia meetings in general.

 Our focus this year will be on introducing new kinds of sessions and activities in order
to produce long-lasting and tangible outcomes from this conference. More on that from me
later!

 For now, however, we must start the registration process, which also involves chapter
selecting their representatives.

 IMPORTANT: The registration form is open from today until February 5th, 2012 - there will
be no extension of time! Because we need to arrange for visas, travel, accommodation, food
and so on, we need to confirm all
 participants no later than February 5th!!

 Here is what you need to do in order to register your chapter representatives to the
event:

 1. If you are reading this as a chapter board member or similar position, and you can
take it on yourself to make sure that your chapter selects its representatives in a timely
manner and that they register in due time:
 -> First PROCEED NOW to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2012/Participants now and sign up
under the "Interim contact person". This way we'll know that you're
leading this task for your chapter and we'll be in contact with you if necessary to
make sure that your chapter representatives register. I will consider chapters for which
nobody signs up under this column as chapters who are not following this mailing list and
will have to chase them personally...
 -> Then contact your fellow board members and urge them to select the chapter
representatives before registration closes on February 5th!

 2. If you were selected by your chapter as one of its two representatives to the
conference, please:
 -> Go to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2012/Participants and
sign up under the "Representative 1" or "Representative 2" columns.
 -> Go to http://www.amiando.com/wmcon12.html and register yourself to the conference,
using the entry code "chap2012berlin".

 I'm relying on your sincere cooperation in making this a fruitful and enjoyable
conference for everyone,

 Harel Cain
 Program manager for Chapters' Meeting 2012
