Members' Meeting - October 2013
Saturday, October 19, will be a busy and important day for Wikimedia Italia! At the Biblioteca Salaborsa in Bologna there will be a public meeting in the morning led by some of the members of the association joined by guest friends, while in the afternoon there will be the semiannual members' meeting. The appointment of the morning will be at the Auditorium Enzo Biagi, from 10 to 13. It is open to all, so we invite everyone to attend. The underlying theme of the presentation will be Libraries and Wikipedia: meetings and possibilities. The objective is to discuss values, aims and perspectives that bind Wikipedia and other wiki projects to libraries.
Speakers : Luca De Biase (Journalist); Frieda Brioschi (President of Wikimedia Italia); Andrea Zanni (Head of the Wikimedia Italia projects); Virginia Gentilini (Biblioteca Salaborsa); Piero Grandesso (Wikipedian).
The official Members' Meeting of Wikimedia Italia will start at 14 (second call), at the Atelier of the Urban Center. Among the topics we will discuss the events for the next year and the organization of Wikimania 2015, we will ratify the resolutions of the Board of Directors; but mainly this is an opportunity to meet in person and exchange ideas freely. Some practical notes:
- only those who have paid the registration fee for 2013 will be entitled to vote;
- in case you can not be present, you can delegate another member (see this page for full details);
- you must register by filling out the online form (by Friday, 18 October, noon);
- or any practical information (including beds and hitches by car) see the dedicated page, updated until the last minute.
