Hi friends attending WikiWomen Camp!
To those of you I don't yet know, hello! I am Katy, and I lead the Community
Resources <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources> team at the
Wikimedia Foundation. I am thrilled that you will be joining the WikiWomen
Camp in Mexico in July. We are well into the planning. I am confident it
is going to be a fabulous event!
I have a few requests for you, to prepare us all to take advantage of our
precious three days together.
1. *Please add your name and answers to the questions on the participant
page of the conference portal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp_2017/Participants>*! There,
kindly answer questions about what you want to learn, what 5 min lightning
talks you want to give, and what on-wiki skills you want to learn. This is
information we need to design the best possible event for all of us!
2. Visit and contribute to the resources page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp_2017/Resources>.
3. A reminder that this event will follow a Friendly Space policy
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy>. Take a look
at that page and review the policy.
This event will be most successful if we all come prepared to contribute
and to learn. We know that networking is important to participants, so we
are getting started now on the portal with introductions, and identifying
skills, projects and opportunities for collaboration.
Finally, I want to give a big shout out to the organizing team: María
Sefidari, Carmen Alcázar, Anna Torres, Iván Martínez, Kacie Harold, and
Alex Wang. It takes a village to organize an event like this! Thank you for
all you've given to organize this so far.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Mexico City!
Un abrazo,
Katy
Hello travelers,
People who need to be reimbursed for visa fees (including travel to your
closest embassy) or reimbursed for flights they paid for themselves need to
submit a request for reimbursement by June 15th. This deadline is not
flexible.
1. Fill out the attached expense report form
2. Make a PDF of reciepts included in the expense report form
3. Fill out a bank information request form
4. Email these documents to accountspayable(a)wikimedia.org and
kharold(a)wikimedia.org
After the conference, you can request reimbursement for the cost of airport
transfers and meals during travel, but you will not be able to request
reimbursement for visa fees or flights.
Best,
Kacie
