Dear all!
We hope this email finds us very well! It seems incredible but WWC finished
three weeks ago! Hopefully we will meet you in Wikimania in a few weeks!
This time we would like to ask you to answer this survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkP4NvY6Dj0Lrsuzy-jQ6EyxusmskUzuw…>.
It aims not only to give us feedback about the meeting, but also to analyze
your opinions, ideas, future projects, etc.
Feedback is important for two reasons:
1. In the first place, we believe that WWC was the first step of a long
road. Having your feedback will be very useful for future events :)
2. We want to continue working together! For this reason we are organizing
a Meetup in Wikimania, on Friday 11 at 18h, room 5. For this meeting the
survey is fundamental; we want to present main results in order to set up -
hopefully- a first draft agenda, goals etc. for us as a group.
For all this, we ask you to take 10 minutes to respond to the survey until
Tuesday, August 1.
We look forward to your cooperation!

Hello dear WikiWomen Camp participants,
Thank you again for an inspiring weekend in Mexico City. It was a privilege
to learn from old and new friends.
As mentioned during our Movement Strategy presentation, we are currently
funding Wikimedia affiliates (Chapter and user groups) to host strategy
salons/meet ups with local experts and (potential) partners. These meet ups
could be meals and/or in-person hang outs. I would love to be able to fund
meet-ups centered around feminism, intersectionality and how these themes
relates to the health and future of our movement.
If this interests you, please fill out this form
<https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmTBRP50g4l1dkS-n…>
ASAP
as applications to receive this funding is due *THIS FRIDAY JULY 15, 2017*. The
funding process is quite simple and the form is easy to fill out. Even if
you don't have all the answers quite yet, I'd still encourage you to apply.
We will be happy to support you to sort out the final details.
I am cc'ing Sarah Malik here as she will be the contact person for any
follow up questions you may have.
Thanks all and best regards!
Adele

Hello, dear all new and old friends :)
I have a question -- mainly to the organizers -- that may have been
discussed somewhere, but I must have missed it: *Do we have to complete
reports as scholarship recipients for the WikiWomenCamp conference, and
where, in what format? *
For instance for Wikimania for already several years we have to write such
reports (example
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania/Scholarships/Reports/2016>),
and I personally find it a particularly good way to share our impressions,
work done in advance and at place, relations established, ideas
conceived... and in the end of the day obtain a wider and more sustainable
outcome of the event. :)
One way or another, I will write such a piece for the annual report of our
user group, but in case there is an already created template, I'd love to
use it. :)
Bests (and wish you safe trip back home to those who are still in Mexico),

Hi!!
Are you already in Mexico? Hope you are!!!
I am sending you this email to let you all know that tomorrow *we are
meeting at 8:30am at the lobby!*
The venue is not close enough to go by walking so a bus is picking us up.
For this reason we need you to be very puntual!
Any problem please contact me!
Hugs!

Hello everyone,
Many of you are about to begin your travel to Mexico City. This is so
exciting! If you would like to coordinate with another participant to share
a taxi from the airport, you can check the spreadsheet below to see if
someone else is arriving around the same time as you are. I did not include
email addresses because I don't know who is comfortable sharing that
information, but you can coordinate on this email thread, or find the
person you'd like to travel with in the Telegram group.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uD6ZsHjYEx_mOlhxrPuH-JU42_HBXxvECL…
Remember, you can get reimbursed for travel to and from the airport, so
take a photo of your taxi receipts (just in case you lose them).
Check the travel page for information on how to book a taxi when you arrive
at the airport, and for the location of the hotel.
I hope you all have a safe trip!
Best,
Kacie
Hi All!
We have found a great Wikimedian, Harmonia Amanda
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Harmonia_Amanda>, to lead a session
about Wikidata since so many of you expressed interest in learning more.
However, it would be great to know what specifically you'd like to learn!
She can give an overview of the basic uses of Wikidata and how you can
apply it to your work addressing the gender gap.
She can also review a number of tools that work with Wikidata. Here is a
list of tools she can teach:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Harmonia_Amanda#Tools
If you have specific requests, please let us know so we can help tailor the
sessions to your needs.
Cheers,
Alex

Hello travelers,
If your flights were paid for by WMF you are covered by WMF's travel
insurance policy. To my knowledge, the insurance only covers health related
issues - if you are concerned about your property, you should purchase your
own travel insurance policy.
Attached is the travel insurance guide and policy numbers, if you need
them. Below are instructions on how to use the card, and other helpful
travel information.
*We STRONGLY recommend not checking baggage*, but if you must check your
bags, pack medication and a change of clothes in your carry on.
*If you need to change your flights,* contact T&T travel.
Monday - Friday 8:00 - 18:00 Pacific time:1-888-251-2033
Emergency after hours, including saturday and sunday: 1-888-734-8298
>From Mexico: 001-800-734-8298
International: call collect to 1-402-399-4667
*How to use travel insurance:*
1. Always carry your UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance ID card
<https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UHC_Global_Travel_Insurance_ID_Card.…>
when traveling. Expatriates are covered on a full-time basis while on
assignment. (If you are injured while you are working, the claim may be
covered by worker's compensation - ask benefits associate for more
information)
2. If you suffer a medical emergency, go immediately to the nearest
physician or hospital without delay and then contact UnitedHealthcare
Global Assistance.
3. For help with medical, travel, and security problems, call
UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance using one of the country-specific
toll-free numbers printed on the back of the card. If you are in a country
not listed, call the Emergency Response Center collect (1-410-453-6330).
4. A multilingual Assistance Coordinator will ask your name, your
organization's name, your UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance ID number
(shown on your ID card) and a description of the situation.
5. Assistance will be given and UnitedHealthcare Global Assistance will
monitor your case until the situation is resolved.
