The regular memebers' meeting was preceded in the morning by a public meeting on Libraries and Wikipedia: encounters and possibilities. The speakers (Luca De Biase, Frieda Brioschi, Andrea Zanni, Virginia Gentilini, Piero Grandesso) emphasized the crucial role of libraries and institutions in interpreting the change in progress in the knowledge, change that passes through the web.

As usual, the resolutions approved in previous months by the Board were presented and voted: the most significant note is the intake as part-time secretary of Alessandra Gasparini and the agreement with the National Central Library of Florence. Highlights of the subsequent discussion, were the opportunity to incorporate the (not yet existing) Italian chapter of Open Street Map within Wikimedia Italy and the candidacy of Esino Lario as a place to host Wikimania 2015 edition. Following a really felt discussion, both proposals were approved (the first unanimously, the second by a majority vote). Afterwards, Emma Tracanella (Director of Wiki Loves Monuments Italy) told about the 2013 edition of Wiki Loves Monuments Italia, flanked by Nemo whose support has been instrumental in the organization of the competition.
