At the 21C3, Angela and Elian and Jimbo will hold a "Wikimedia Collaboration Workshop". It's currently scheduled for day two, 22:00h and we will have 1 hour. As this is planned as a workshop and not a presentation, we welcome your input on how you would like to spend this time: which topics should be discussed? Do you have ideas you want to present to the community? Any questions you ever wanted to ask?
According to the program, the workshop will be about international collaboration of the Wikipedia scene and the inner workings and plans of the project, for those who want to support the project on a national or international scale
Please put your wishes on this page so we can create an agenda for the workshop.
You can edit this workshop right now!
