Hi,
it will not be a separate room, but either happen in the big square
outside or in the jockey auditorium, like we describe it here:
http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_Village#How.2C_where_and_w…
We will decide on-site, which space we go for in the end (mostly
depending on weather conditions.
The big screen is only available outside, so let's hope that we feel
that we can survive the heat and typhoons. ;)
Both spaces will not be separate rooms but open and quite busy. Please
don't imagine it to be veeeeeery huge, there will be tables for
chapters and a meeting area for 4 parallel meetings.
It is open during all conference days, some chapter will be present
all the time, some will just decide upon spontaneously and announce
timeslots where they hold real-life office hours or offer topics to
discuss.
Should you have further questions, feel free to ask on-wiki.
All the best,
Nicole

Greetings Fellow Wikipedians
I happened to visit the Apartheid Museum in South Africa this week and i
must say it is one of the few museums Ii have visited in my life with so
much vital asserts and information that the future generations of this
world would really need for tomorrow.It is also one of the museums that are
so emotional due to the documentaries you see playing on the screens and
generally the pictures of how people lived during Apartheid time, because
of the vast information found from within the Museum which i think from my
own perspective my worry lies much in the issue of *COPY RIGHT.*
*
*
"The Apartheid Museum in South Africa is read through the lens of a
condition of 'prepossession', where histories of trauma continue to haunt a
site while manifesting effectively through spatial ambiguities, which lead
to an experience of 'empathetic unsettledness'. Paradoxes concerning the
provenance of the building and its location are discussed. An analysis
follows of changing registers of spatiality through selected key areas of
the complex, with reference to Henri Lefebvre's analysis of alternative
experiences of space. His notion of 'lived' space is applicable to trauma
architecture as discussed by concentration camp researcher Wolfgang Sofsky.
It is argued that the building critically performs a content which exceeds
the limits of representation, thus engendering a sense of embodied unease.
Further complications include the appropriation of suffering in dialectical
tension with a moving commemoration of apartheid iniquities".*
*

I tried getting some photos of some of the things i thought they could
benefit us a movement and share them on Wikimedia Commons maybe also for
community engagement projects such as JoburgpediA,Wiki Loves Monuments and
other GLAM projects but i was denied such an opportunity.I was seriously
hurt and just let down.May i kindly recommend you to keep good partnership
with the museum and try lobby for free copy right for easier sharing of
their resources on Wikipedia and its sister projects.
Kind Regards
