| + | * Assemblea di marzo: Al momento l'assemblea che dovrebbe permetterci di modificare il nostro statuto e di diventare presto ONLUS è quanto mai in forse. Purtroppo non si stanno concretizzando le proposte di ''location'' avanzate da alcuni soci e, in mancanza di un ''bid'' chiaro e preciso entro la fine di dicembre, l'assemblea non potrà tenersi. | ||
| − | + | * Wikimangia: visto che quest'anno i mesi di marzo ed aprile "pullulano" di eventi, iniziative e giorni di festa (assemblea, chapter meeting, Pasqua); il vostro Senpai, per non lasciarvi orfani dell'annuale abbuffata di "ciccia e vino", avrebbe pensato di organizzare il tutto in Febbraio. Logicamente il programma del week-end prevederebbe una tappa sulle piste da sci (magari il sabato) in modo da favorire tutti gli appassionati di sport invernali. I non atleti, comunque, potrebbero passare il pomeriggio nei tipici locali presenti vicino alle piste, scaldandosi con cioccolata calda e alcolici vari. Siccome i tempi sono sempre stretti, soprattutto quando si organizzano eventi molto frequentati, sarebbe gradito un feedback immediato almeno sull'idea in se stessa. | |

This number of Wikimedia News, just before Christmas, is being published in a characteristic period for our association and all of WMF; we are in the middle of fundraising (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate/it). I believe that everybody, and especially our members, know that it's necessary to support, also financially, both Wikimedia Italia and Wikimedia Foundation. Together with the usual reports for activities and events, so, the Board wants to urge all readers to take part, both physically and financially, in the needs of the the association.

What happened last month
- November 2, Pavia: we attended Sapere libera tutti!, a day dedicated to the new ways for creating a collective culture. The report from EdoM:
- I don't know what kind of promotion the event had, but at least in the morning there were just we speakers among the members of WMI. I don't know if in the afternoon some other people came.
Cristina Moretto made a short introduction, then Simone talked about history and logic of the licenses. His talk was quite interesting, and the public from a lot of questions. I talked more or less for 20 minutes about wiki philosophy and the various projects.
The other speakers were Simone Cortesi (OSM) and Christian Biasco (about his work).
