Hello all:) Manos, very interesting report! I have bookmarked it for future reference, as I do not have the time right now to read it thoroughly. Asaf, you are right in saying that face-to-face meetings have different impact on the movement: that is what I learned from participating in (amazing) Wikimania 2015. For example, the conversation the two of us had in person gave me tremendous insight into what more can be done in the Greek community. I wish I could attend the CEE conference in Estonia... just that it is taking place right in the first week of the teaching year and it will be impossible for me to get away (plus I will most likely be missing from school for the first five days in September, due to new urgent health problems in the family, so asking for leave to go to a conference would be too much). Manos, please hear what Asaf is saying and apply for a scholarship. I believe you are the perfect candidate, with all the great work you have done with the Wikipedia School. It is important that such projects are shared and discussed with the CEE community. Please find a way to take a break for 3 days, I'm sure the place, the people and the experience will be most rewarding! Wishing all of you a good weekend (and all Greek friends, "καλό Δεκαπενταύγουστο και χρόνια πολλά σε Μαρίες, Μάριους, Παναγιώτηδες και Παναγιώτες!") (Asaf, tomorrow is one of the biggest celebrations in the Greek Orthodox religion and the Greek above was to wish a happy name day to all those who are celebrating:) ----- Original Message ----- From: &lt;wikiel-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; To: &lt;wikiel(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2015 3:00 PM Subject: WikiEL Digest, Vol 28, Issue 2 > Send WikiEL mailing list submissions to > wikiel(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wikiel-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wikiel-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of WikiEL digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
