Event name

JES 2014-2015 (Junulara E-Semajno)

Participant connections

At December 29 2014 was organised speak about using wiki projects for Esperantists, encontering new WMF technologies like ContentTranlate. It was followed-up by training. Unfortunately, the sessions was planed for the morning of second day (first whole day) of week-long meeting so there was only about 20 people on the speak and about 15 people on the training.

During the meeting I and Venca24 meet with representatives from Universal Esperanto Association (UEA) and World Esperanto Youth Organization (TEJO) and discussed the issues of free culture and future collabouration about wikis. It seems that we have convinced the UEA representative to libre UEA's press releases under free licence (what was copyvio problem on Esperanto Wikinews). Cooperation between wiki related projects of UEA and TEJO was done with clearer division of roles. Basic contact was done with Commission of Science and Expert Activities in TEJO, the commission is quite new and we have not concrete plans for soon collabourating project.

• Based on discussions with Stefan MacGill, vice-chair of Universal Esperanto Association (UEA), in February 2015 issue of revue Esperanto (official UEA's organ) will appear article with call for contributing to Wikipedia. It will be followed by similar call to UEA's national chapters and thematic organisations.
