There is a short blog post about the event that went up yesterday, thanks to the speedy turnaround of Astrid and Jon! We reached out to them right after seeing this announcement, and they provided a quick background just a few hours later.

I agree that it would be wonderful to have another post with more details about how this all came to together, the event itself, and what the organizers felt were the best learning and outcomes of this new collaboration. On Oct 10, 2014 11:19 AM, "Everton Zanella Alvarenga" tom@okfn.org.br wrote:
Hi Rachel,
I'd like to suggest someone in change of WMF communication to write a blog post about this great initiative from Norwegian volunteers. Talk to those taking the lead. :)
Such initiative should be highlighted very much, mainly after to see those great Nobel Prizes (different from some years ago).
Hopefully I'll try to find some time next October 12, Children's Day in Brazil, to contribute with Malala's article in the Portuguese Wikipedia. I'm trying to spread the word among Open Knowledge Brasil community because we were thinking to do some thing for children and teachers aligned with our mission.
Cheers,
Tom

Hi Jon, thank you so much for your efforts in having Malala and Kailash Satyarthi's pages updated. I was over the moon to see the announcements this morning and really proud of the Norwegian Wikipedia community for updating the pages today! I for one would love to hear about everyone's experience being there.
(I'd also love to hear anyone's experiences about edit conflicts while updating the pages).
I'm not sure when you were notified of the invitation, but do know that
the
Foundation wants to find ways of supporting community activities like
this,
so if there are any ideas on how to do that please say so.
Cheers, Rachel
