Dear Organizing Team:
We at Wikimedia Argentina have the idea of hosting a special session for
Spanish-speaking to-be chapters during Wikimania (in Spanish, complementary
to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Chapter_Gathering).
Representatives of already formed working groups in Spain, México, Uruguay
and Chile will be attending, just to name the first ones that come to my
mind, so we believe this could be a valuable opportunity for getting to know
each other and strengthening collaboration ties. In fact, we are working on
a regional cooperation initiative we'd like to discuss with them if we get
the proposal ready for Wikimania.
I know that we are late and that you may have more urgent matters to resolve
--believe me, we were in your situation last year! Nevertheless, I want to
ask if you could find us a room for having this meeting during lunchtime or
when/where you find an empty slot. If you're OK with this I'll then create a
page in WM2010's wiki and link it as a special event in the schedule, as we
did last year with *ad hoc* activities (
http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule).
I'm not sure if wikimania-planning-l is being used, so I'm CCing to the
general list.
Best,
Galileo Vidoni
