Official bulletin from Wikimedia Italia Association.

Editorial

Dear member,
it's August again, the month before the busiest one for our association. In September, or soon after it (we're still defining the details), we will host the next meeting and with it the renewal of the board. Candidates are slack: be bold and enter your bid at this page, which is empty at the time I am writing this. Do think: Wikimedia Italia needs your help!

Next year will be full of new challenges and goals to achieve:

• We will get help from a secretary, who should start to work with us in late September
• In October the third edition of the Festival of Liberty Digital, coordinated by Luca Chemello and Marco Menini, will take place (if you candidated to organize an event, this is the time to start working out: October is just around the corner!)
• In November the new fundraising campaign will start (and it's time to submit a plan of activities to WMF, think of the communication and the banners to put on your sites ..)
• Between December and January the new Wikiguida will be published (dedicated to this time to Wikiquotye): Christian Biasco will need to discuss with the Wikiquoters in order to understand how to set it, and as always he will ask for a hand once he will write the script down
• In Autumn students in Lombardy will compete in rounds of Wikipedia entries to participate in the 2012 Wikimedia Prix Italy

... and many other activities and initiatives. If you think this list is not exhaustive, tell us what is missing!

Now I leave you to read this new issue of the newsletter of the association, which comes after a long period (again, we need a hand. Are you the right person for Wikimedia News? Tell us!) and is full of information on the activities of recent months.

I would be happy if, after reading it, you wanted to write and tell me what you think of what Wikimedia Italia has done in this first half of the year. My address is fbrioschi@wikimedia.it

Thanks,

Frieda

(And happy holidays too!)

- I searched for God for long, hard years of meditation... through loneliness, fast, privation... tomorrow I'll start with Wikipedia!
