Greetings, Wikipedians!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are only a few of us on this list, so we must make the best out<br />
<br />
<br />
of whatever capital we have here. The Tenth Anniversary of the<br />
<br />
<br />
Wikipedia project is fast approaching[0] and Gaurav Vaidya is helping<br />
<br />
<br />
support a small event to celebrate the occasion.[1] Is there a way we<br />
<br />
<br />
could make this happen in Singapore?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Terence, it would be great if you could personally talk to some of the<br />
<br />
<br />
Wikipedian volunteers to join this list and find out if they would be<br />
<br />
<br />
interested in attending this event.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mohan, would you help Gaurav and Terence to find a venue and structure<br />
<br />
<br />
the event? It could be an informal barbeque party where Wikipedia<br />
<br />
<br />
enthusiasts gather around to celebrate the anniversary of our<br />
<br />
<br />
movement. Funds can be made available from the Wikimedia Foundation<br />
<br />
<br />
through the grants process.[2]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Andrew and Ren Yan, please join this list to keep abreast of volunteer<br />
<br />
<br />
activities in the city.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Preetam (on-list) told me about a bar-owner in SG making donations to<br />
<br />
<br />
the Wikimedia Foundation based on the number of drinks sold.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Guys, do let me know if I can assist in any way possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
<br />

If you're interested in attending, could you please fill in this form: http://tinyurl.com/wikipedia-10-singapore<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm trying to get a good estimate of the number of people interested - three people have e-mailed me regarding this, so there is *some* interest.<br />

Probably the best option for 5-20 people would be Hackerspace.sg [1] - they're usually pretty good about supporting open source/open content groups. If there's fewer than five, we could just meet somewhere for coffee and cake and reminisce :). If we're doing it at Hackerspace, I think we should try getting it a bit more structured: there'll be other people around, and we'd want to attract people to the cause.<br />

Hi all, i'd be interested to attend. As I am posted overseas at the moment,<br />
<br />
<br />

Heya,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So far, the RSVP form has eight positive replies, with 4 "almost certains" (+ 2 on Facebook) and 4 maybes (+1 on Facebook). So it looks like there'll be 4 to 11 people come next Saturday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So far, a lot of people seem to like the idea of just meeting up for coffee - I did that at Slashdot's 10th anniversary, and it was plenty of fun just like that. Does anybody know any nice coffee places with enough space for 10-20 people? (our numbers might go up over the next week if we can market this event a bit on mailing lists and Facebook) If so, let me know and I'll make a reservation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A slightly more sophisticated meet up could be at Hackerspace.sg (if we can talk them into lending us the space). The question is, what would we do there? Other WikiX events seem to have a lot of talks in them, but I don't know where we'd find speakers for that at such short notice. So unless somebody comes up with a good idea for this, I don't think we'll bother. But ...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
... we could run a (mini) Editathon, like they're doing at the British Library, London [1]. It sounds awesome and also a lot of fun, and would give us something to focus on in terms of our organization. We could pick Singapore related pages to clean up and work on, or just work on our own articles or interests. This would be brilliant, as we'd have definite goals, would keep people interested all day long, but also have plenty of time to disengage and chat with each other. Space *oughtn't* to be an issue, as I think this is the sort of event that Hackerspace might get excited about. There might be networking issues or other problems, but if we're on a public Wifi I think we ought to probably be okay.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Interestingly, *three* of the people interested in coming for the party have *never* edited Wikipedia at all, so maybe we can also have "How to edit your first article" type discussions or lectures. Would anybody be interested in organizing those?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I'm going to try to get the people who signed up on Wikipedia but didn't RSVP to do so, so we know how likely their showing up is. I'll also drop e-mails to NLB and Hackerspace, and see if they'd be interested or have ideas as to how to run this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

It sounds awesome and also a lot of fun, and would give us something to focus on in terms of our organization. We could pick Singapore related pages to clean up and work on, or just work on our own articles or interests. This would be brilliant, as we'd have definite goals, would keep people interested all day long, but also have plenty of time to disengage and chat with each other.<br />

This is a great idea! But are you planning on having a day-long event?<br />

A great idea once again. Perhaps you should find some presentations<br />
<br />
<br />
on slideshare, or use this page as a base for a presentation:<br />

I can't find the facebook page. Kindly share the link or add me "York Koon<br />

<br />
TAN".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A sharing session on how to edit and clean up pages sounds brilliant. So<br />
<br />
<br />
minimally the place for coffee should have wifi and those of us with laptops<br />
<br />
<br />
should bring them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Another (old) idea is to hangout at one of those board/card game cafes like<br />
<br />
<br />
"The Mind Cafe" or "Pitstop".<br />
<br />
<br />
