Hi,
I would like to get you know, that people around the Czech Wikiversity,
would like to organise a conference held in Prague, spring 2009. It will be
about the Wikiversity itself, free e-learning education, othere projects and
software related to internet education, etc.
We would like to invite all people interested in Wikiversity, internet and
free education to Prague.
This is great - thanks Juan!
I've a few questions:
* What language will the presentations be in - will it be entirely in
Czech, or will there be a number of languages represented?
--presentations will be recived in English and Czech or just in English. We
would like to find and interpreter, who would be able to translate to
English
* Will it take place on one day, or over a few days?
--It will take a place one day, probably Saturday, but if there will be high
interest, we might prolong it.
* When are you thinking of distributing a call for
participation? (ie
submissions, tracks, guidelines, etc.)
--Begining of November or maybe earlier.
* Will there be any funding available for travelling
costs?
--Well, I dont think so, that Wikimedia Czech Republic will be able to
support this. We will offers some travel and accomodation help.
* Will there be any way for people who cannot travel
to Prague to
participate?
--cant say now.
When there's a bit more info, I'd encourage you to advertise this more
widely within the Wikimedia community than this list. The Dutch chapter
organised a conference on 'Wikimedia and education' last year - they might
be able to give you some tips. Also, let me know if I can help in any way...
--well, we know how to say to different language groups, via their
Wikimiedias or mailing lists, but how to inoform differennt English folks?
Anyway, thank you very much for your interest.
Juan
Cheers,
Cormac
