Talk:Wikimedia Conference 2012/WLM

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Should we consider adding this to Wikimedia Conference 2012/Schedule/Open Thursday?--Pharos (talk) 19:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pharos,
I think the idea of this is quite different. The idea of this page was to see who would be interested in small scale meetings. For example, some relevant people from the US chapters and the WLM international organizers to tackle some really specific US-issues surrounding Wiki Loves Monuments. This would not be one single meeting with all people who signed up together, but rather several seperate ones. Thursday would be almost the worst day to do this for us, because there won't be any international organizers available (Tomasz and I will be in the ChapCom meeting, and Elke and Maarten won't be there yet). Also, it wouldn't make much sense to have such meetings before a more general session. That is why we will try to schedule the smaller meetings after a more general session. I'm in contact with Harel trying to rearrange the schedule a bit that we can have the general session on Saturday, and that we can schedule small meetings after that.

Please note that talkpages which haven't been created yet aren't necessarily closely watched - an email to the relevant mailing list would have been helpful, especially since all relevant organizers are not on the chapters mailing list currently.[reply]
