Notes:
1. What we have learned from previous meetings?
+ Serbia 2012: good topics, agenda, started talking together, making relationship
+ Slovakia 2013: the agenda was not clear; wasn't a success
+ Some cooperations (Wiki expeditions) in the mean while, but always only between just two or three countries, not regionally
2. Is there a need for another meeting, and if so, what are the next steps?
+ developing relationships
+ promote good practices between the neighbours
+ developing content: edit wiki: one week edits about ceska, the other about poland, ukraine, etc... (use wikimetrics)
+ developing community: CEE Wiki camp for kids
+ wikidata – a big potential for CEE
+ mailing list or FB group
+ FB promotion of Wikipedia articles – do it regionally
+ announce events in the region and invite people that are close to the border to join
+ competitions with prizes (travel to wikimania, or to participating countries)
3. Next steps:
+ we will see if we need it
+ list of needs from the movement: every country to tell its difficulties and the WMF could do meetups with the similar (Antanana from Ukraine will start a Wiki page on Meta)
+ we will continue the conversation during Wikimania and on the list
+ Poland and Ukraine are interested in hosting
+ WMF may be able to help with the visas
+ a decision should be made soon (by the end of August??) if this meeting is to happen in 2014
