Hello Asaf,
regarding your visit in Greece it seems that there are already enough
activities. goo.gl/nbgcv
We indent to merge some of the thematic community meetings with meetings
with other officials, doing something between round table discussions and
panel presentations, calling some officials (ministry of culture/education)
and some people relative to open content. The proposed thematics are
* "Open content and copyright issues in Greece, related with Wikipedia",
* "Wikipedia education projects",
* "Greek Wikipedia community and relations with third parties".
* A separate, more informal open discussion about the organisation of the
community for outreach activities will be done without calling other people
than wikipedians.
These discussions should be finished during Saturday 13th.
A more general central meetup of the community can be done in Saturday
afternoon or Sunday morning, still leaving some time during the weekend to
arrange some more meetings.
Please tell us
* if this schedule covers the scope of your visit,
* if you would like to be the initial speaker on the meetings about
education projects and about relatations with third parties,
* if you would like to add any other presentation/workshop/meeting.

In order to have a better coordination of our community meetings/events in
April (from 11th to 15th) I would like to invite you all to the IRC
meeting which will be held next Thursday on Freenode, IRC channel* :
#wikimedia-el . *Time : *22:30 pm UTC+02:00 * (greek time zone).
Please inform earlier if you will not make it.
Best regards,

Καλησπέρα,
Σε συνέχεια του email που έστειλε ο κ. Ρούσσος σας ενημερώνω ότι έπειτα από
επικοινωνία που κάναμε υπάρχει διαθεσιμότητα για το αμφιθέατρο στο Σχολικό
Συγκρότημα Αγ. Δημητρίου - "Στρογγυλό"
(εδώ<http://iek-ag-dimitr.att.sch.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i…>μπορείτε
να δείτε πληροφορίες πρόσβασης και φωτογραφίες). Επίσης μπορεί να
είναι διαθέσιμη η αίθουσα του ΕΙΕ (Βασ. Κωνσταντίνου 48) και εναλλακτικά
μπορεί να βρεθεί κάποια αίθουσα σε ΑΕΙ/ΤΕΙ από τα μέλη της ΕΕΛ/ΛΑΚ στην
Αθήνα.
Σε περίπτωση που θεωρείτε ότι εξυπηρετεί κάποια από αυτές τις προτάσεις
παρακαλώ ενημερώστε μας για να το κανονίσουμε.

Καλημέρα Τάσο,
επειδή η Ευγενία θα κάνει μια κρούση για την αίθουσα του
Υπουργείου αλλά δεν είμαστε καθόλου σίγουροι αν αυτή θα είναι διαθέσιμη
τελικά, είπαμε να έχουμε και μια εναλλακτική και με βάση αυτό που έγραψες
στην Αγορά ότι έχεις εξασφαλίσει αίθουσα 100+ ατόμων. Θέλω να κάνω και 2-3
διευκρινίσεις:
1. Ποιά είναι η ακριβής διεύθυνση του σχολείου (για να δούμε
συγκοινωνίες και τρόπους πρόσβασης)
2. Υπάρχει wifi στο σχολείο σε περίπτωση που χρειαστούμε κάτι ή κάνουμε
κάποια άλλη δραστηριότητα
3. Χρειάζεται να πάρεις κάποια έγκριση (λ.χ. από τη Σχολική Επιτροπή)
και πόσο χρόνο θα χρειαστεί αυτό
Επίσης δεν ξέρω αν θέλουν να ρωτήσουν κάτι όσοι άλλοι συμμετέχουν στην
διοργάνωση...φαντάζομαι μπορούν να ρωτήσουν απευθείας ....
Καλό βράδυ,
Νίκος
*update*: Η Ευγενία απ'ότι μου είπε περιμένει ακόμα απάντηση αλλά μάλλον θα
είναι αρνητική.
Hello Asaf.
To keep you informed, there is a conversation about your visit in Greece,
in Wikipedia's Agora (Village Pump): http://goo.gl/k9xRo
So, it is not that we are not interested for your visit, but we still talk
if a conference for the general audience should be organised on the
occasion or just do some community meetings.
A question I have: Since you will be in Italy at 18-21 April, you must
extend your trip for some days to be in Greece for at least a weekend. Can
you extend it for enough days to be here at 13-14th or 27-28th of April?
Any community meeting should be on a weekend.
I'm posting this mail to WikiEL mailing list (I think you are already a
member) so that it will be more open, and we can link to your mails.
I suggest that all cc'd users subscribe to it.
