@Nicolas, Aleksey: Thanks for pointing it out, for some reason I voted both of them, but I forgot to add them to the list.

@Leung, Jayanta : Great! Hope to see you both there!

Cheers,

Micru

If I can manage to attend the event, I would be pleased to join the meeting.

I am recently operating a pilot scheme to digitalise Far East-related works, but this year its progress is not  enough to make it a valuable topic to talk about, concerning its experience, scope and etc. If I'm there, I may probably prepare a lightning talk about it.

I will be there (I asked for a scholarship too).

I've plan to talk about the breton Wikisource in my submission : https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Lives_and_deaths_of_Wikimedia_projects_in_a_minority_language

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: to learn how it was done and evaluate if we can replicate the project internationally

*Wikisource technical infrastructure: to see what has been done and the discussion about the technical developments

*Wikisource panel: general discussion, workflow and metadata handling

*Gujarati Wikisource: to learn about how a small community overcame the initial challenges
*Malayalam Digitization Contest: the Wikisource contest is 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
