Hi Wikimaniacs!
Wikimania is just around the corner and many people looking forward to the
wide range of topics. Following the general idea of sharing knowledge about
best practices, the Volunteer Support Department of Wikimedia Deutschland
warmly invites you to the pre-conference workshops “Engaging local
Wikipedians” and “German Wikipedia”.
*“Engaging local Wikipedians” workshop*
The German Chapter supports several groups with the installation, funding,
and support of local spaces where community members can sozialize, write
articles, plan projects, share knowledge, start cooperations, teach new
editors, and so one. These are places where Wikipedians have a face.
Several local groups will hold lightning talks about their activities.
Further, a study by Wikimedia Deutschland on the local spaces will be
presented. Nevertheless, getting local Wikipedians together does not only
work in actual rooms but in several other ways, fitting to the respective
needs of the communities and general conditions. One solution for example
is the Kumusha Bus that educates several communities in Africa about the
Open Movement. Of course, organizing student groups for Wikipedia in
several cities is another one.
We warmly invite you to share your experiences in this workshop. Learning
from each other is the main goal of this workshop.
Basic information for “Engaging local Wikipedians” workshop:
- Date: Thursday, 23 June
- Time: 9.30–13.00
- Place: Villa Rogo (20 min away from the center)

*“German Wikipedia” workshop*
The community of the German-language Wikipedia is one of the most active
ones in the Wikiverse. Several volunteers will attend Wikimania this year
and prepared presentations on a broad variety of topics they are interested
in, from a presentation of the Young Wikipedians group to a photography
workshop focused on flashes.
They warmly invite you into the German house, the Villa Rogo, to the
“German Wikipedia” workshop that follows the previous “Engaging local
Wikipedians” workshop (we plan to serve Italian pasta for you in our
kitchen ;-)).
If you ever wanted to know what the German community is doing, or when you
are curious what their affairs of the heart are, join this workshop and be
excited!
Basic information for “German Wikipedia” workshop:
- Date: Thursday, 23 June
