Hi friends attending WikiWomen Camp!
To those of you I don't yet know, hello! I am Katy, and I lead the Community Resources https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources team at the Wikimedia Foundation. I am thrilled that you will be joining the WikiWomen Camp in Mexico in July. We are well into the planning. I am confident it is going to be a fabulous event!
I have a few requests for you, to prepare us all to take advantage of our precious three days together.
1. *Please add your name and answers to the questions on the participant page of the conference portal https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp_2017/Participants*! There, kindly answer questions about what you want to learn, what 5 min lightning talks you want to give, and what on-wiki skills you want to learn. This is information we need to design the best possible event for all of us!
2. Visit and contribute to the resources page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp_2017/Resources.
3. A reminder that this event will follow a Friendly Space policy https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy. Take a look at that page and review the policy.
This event will be most successful if we all come prepared to contribute and to learn. We know that networking is important to participants, so we are getting started now on the portal with introductions, and identifying skills, projects and opportunities for collaboration.
Finally, I want to give a big shout out to the organizing team: María Sefidari, Carmen Alcázar, Anna Torres, Iván Martínez, Kacie Harold, and Alex Wang. It takes a village to organize an event like this! Thank you for all you've given to organize this so far.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Mexico City!
Un abrazo, Katy
