I think there are a few good projects that we've implemented which can be added to Lodewijk's survey. - Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Lodewijk <lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org> To: "Local Chapters, board and officers coordination (closed subscription)" <internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>rg>; chapters <chapters(a)wikimedia.ch> Sent: Thu, May 19, 2011 6:24:03 PM Subject: [Internal-l] Dear chapters: Please send me your top 3 coolest projects (apologies, forgot the link in the original) Dear chapter representatives, a little while ago, I embarked onto a crazy idea: try to make one overview presentation for Wikimania of all the coolest, brightest and most exciting chapter projects throughout the world. Trying to show the potential of what chapters can do - not focussing on single projects, or even best practices, but mainly on cool ideas and giving an overview of the chapter activities. And to do that, I need your help! If you want me to include your chapter into this overview, I would like to ask you to send me: 1) the names/topics of your top-3 (or less) projects which you were one way or another (starting, finishing off) involved in since June 2010 (also possible to send upcoming projects!) 2) a contact person which I can approach for more information 3) if available, a link to a project page I don't ask you to write extensive descriptions, I just want to know what to look for - if I have questions, I will come back to you. Please use the following form to send me this information: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDFIeFp5OHgtRXBmR0lhSXJlM2… Since I don't have influence on the duration of the slot I will get (I expect I can easily fill 1,5 hour with this topic), I cannot guarantee that your topic gets in, and I might merge activities of several chapters into one activity as example. Thanks a lot for your input, and please let me know if you have any questions. If the for doesn't work for you, just email me directly. Hoping for many very nice projects in the spreadsheet soon, Lodewijk ps: of course you are all welcome to join the session at Wikimania and see the outcomes! _______________________________________________ Internal-l mailing list Internal-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/internal-l
