Hi,
I would like to get you know, that people around the Czech Wikiversity, would like to organise a conference held in Prague, spring 2009. It will be about the Wikiversity itself, free e-learning education, othere projects and software related to internet education, etc.
We would like to invite all people interested in Wikiversity, internet and free education to Prague.
This is great - thanks Juan!
I've a few questions:
* What language will the presentations be in - will it be entirely in Czech, or will there be a number of languages represented?
--presentations will be recived in English and Czech or just in English. We would like to find and interpreter, who would be able to translate to English
* Will it take place on one day, or over a few days?
--It will take a place one day, probably Saturday, but if there will be high interest, we might prolong it.
* When are you thinking of distributing a call for participation? (ie submissions, tracks, guidelines, etc.)
--Begining of November or maybe earlier.
* Will there be any funding available for travelling costs?
--Well, I dont think so, that Wikimedia Czech Republic will be able to support this. We will offers some travel and accomodation help.
* Will there be any way for people who cannot travel to Prague to participate?
--cant say now.
When there's a bit more info, I'd encourage you to advertise this more widely within the Wikimedia community than this list. The Dutch chapter organised a conference on 'Wikimedia and education' last year - they might be able to give you some tips. Also, let me know if I can help in any way...
--well, we know how to say to different language groups, via their Wikimiedias or mailing lists, but how to inoform differennt English folks?
Anyway, thank you very much for your interest.
Juan
