[Advocacy Advisors] Your Public Policy Schedule for Wikimania

Mon Jul 13 10:17:57 UTC 2015

Hi Dimi,

Thanks for sharing this. There's lots going on!

Unfortunately I won't be at Wikimania but is there going to be a central
place where resources will be collated so I can take a look afterwards?

Thank you, hope you all have a great time!

Stevie
