Hi David,
If I'll make it to Wikimania I'll definetly join the meetup.
Also, I've submitted proposal for Tutorial-style presentation, mainly
targeted for those relatively new to Wikisource.

Hi,
this year the Wikimania will be in* London* and it will be a great
opportunity to have a *Wikisource community meet-up* there. I
requested a room for* Aug 9th* (Saturday), who would be coming?
During the wmcon I learnt that it is possible to apply for funds to the
GAC to bring selected members from strategically-targeted language
communities (Diversity), or someone who wants to learn about how to
revitalize their wikisource (Community building) or learn how to start
projects (Outreach). It could also be someone from an external organization
we want to partner with. As always there must be a very strong motivation
to do things and it has to yield results, since travels are expensive. Are
there suggestions about who should we try to bring?
Additionally this year there are several Wikisource-related
submissions, so we could also "package" the ones that get accepted into a
brouchure to promote Wikisource and the related talks. Some that have been
identified:
*DIY-Scanner<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Open_hardware_and_Open_Source_for_Open_Content:_GLAM,_the_DIY_Book_Scanner_community_and_Wikimedia_digitalize_public_domain_books._Case_study_from_Argentina>:
to learn how it was done and evaluate if we can replicate the project
internationally
*Wikisource technical
infrastructure<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Wiki…do>:
to see what has been done and the discussion about the technical
developments
*Wikisource
panel<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Panel:_Wikiso…ta>:
general discussion, workflow and metadata handling
*Gujarati
Wikisource<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Gujarati…ce>:
to learn about how a small community overcame the initial challenges
*Malayalam Digitization
Contest<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Malayalam_W…st>:
the Wikisource
contest<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/11/21/wikisource-proofreading-co…
becoming global, good time to discuss lessons learnt and how to make it
grow further.
Feel free to vote them if you find them interesting!
Cheers,
Micru
