Subject: [Wikimediach-l] Turin candidate of Wikimania 2007
Date: Sat, 09 Sep 2006 21:33:00 +0200

The town of Turin has presented the official candidature for Wikimania
2007 (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2007/Torino) and
Wikimedia CH has offered the official support for this event.

Wikimedia CH is so young to have an own candidature, but this could be
an opportunity to have Wikimania close to Swiss and to improve the
capability of Wikimedia CH for a following possible candidature.

Ilario^_^
President of Wikimedia CH

Bon travail! I've done some proofreading and only corrected some minor errors. In my opinion, your translation is enough in accordance with the original German text.

Re: [Wikimediach-l] foundation assembly?

2006-03-22 Thread Patrick Kenel

You're right. In such a small country like Switzerland it shouldn't be problematic to gather people from every corner in any place for a meeting. It would be a serious problem in Germany, Italy or France for example. So I would say,Zurich is definitely central enough for everybody.

[Wikimediach-l] foundation assembly?

2006-03-21 Thread Patrick Kenel
Hi all!

I'd like to ask Michael or Nando whether they thought aboutto procede to the foundation of our chapter. The bylaws are getting fixed now, we're establishing a mail address, technical support is clear and the Wikipedia Day is approaching. Back in January, we considered the foundation somewhen in February or March. Now that we're already in the second half of March, it seems still unclear when this is going to happen. I would favour a meeting in Zurich where we already spent a calm Sunday afternoon in November.The foundation assembly would (hopefully) alsobea welcome opportunity to meet people who couldn'tattend last time (Ilario, Gatto Nero, Frédéric, Thierry Pool, Christian Seidl, Irmgard etc.) or who didn't participate onthisML(Voyager, Ilja, Javier).

Greets,Patrick

Fine, it seems that we're soonable topost the bylaws in all 5 languages! Hopefully, this means the beginning of areally plurilingual association that we're aiming to become.

The master document should be the english  version because it is the document approved by international board.I have a first question. Article 1 says"The association will be named "Wikimedia CH" – Verein zur FörderungFreien Wissens (Wikimedia CH – Association for the advancement of freeknowledge)".What is the _formal_ 
name ? It it only "Wikimedia CH" (as indicated bythe quotes), and which would look like the correct name to me (languageneutral) ? In this case, the following text is descriptive and we shouldprobably put the English version first.Related question: any objection if I replace all occurences of "Verein"by "Association" in the text ? There is no point having a German word inthe text when there is a corresponding English word.  Frederic, if you need some help i the translation you can ask to me.I should be ok, starting from the English version, but it would be goodto have someone to compare the French and German versions afterwards tolook for inconsistencies.
I could do that as soon as you have finished your translation. Thanks for your work in advance!Frédéric___Wikimediach-l mailing listWikimediach-l@Wikipedia.org

RE: [Wikimediach-l] 17. Juni 2006: Wikipedia-Tag?

2006-01-31 Thread Patrick Kenel

hi ! 
Liebe Mailinglister und -listinnen, lieber Michael, Jürg S, Jürg W, Patrick, Ilario, Emanuel, Ilja, Nando, Laurent und Javier (Reihenfolge willkürlich)Wenn wir in der OSS Roadmap aufgenommen werden wollen, müssen wir uns bis Dienstag für einen Ort und ein Datum entscheiden. Ich denke wir brauchen etwa fünf Leute für ein Organisationskomitee "Wikipedia-Tag 2006" und möglichst viele, die am Tag selber und in der Vorbereitungsphase helfen.Ich frage deshalb direkt: Wer ist dabei, wenn wir am*17. Juni im GEP-Gebäude der ETH Zürich*die Wikipedia-Tage durchführen? Für unsere Zielgruppe Nr. 2 (Studenten und Freaks) wäre das Datum gut, weil sich während des Semesters viele in Zürich befinden. Bei den Daten im August oder September wäre das nicht der Fall (Semesterferien bis Oktober). Für Zürich spricht die sehr zentrale Lage des Lokals.
 
I tended more to August but this date works for me as well. It seems that most now agree on June 17th as date for the WP Day. And Zurich is the place to stage it!!
Organisieren wir den Wikipedia-Tag bereits im Juni und nicht im September, gelingt es uns viel eher, bis Ende Jahr eine vernünftige Anzahl Mitglieder zu werben. 100 in diesem Jahr wären für mich ein schönes Ziel.
What an ambitious goal ¨!! :-)
Kollisionen mit der Wikimania und der Fussball-WM habe ich abgeklärt, das Vorrundenspiel Portugal-Iran dürfte niemanden von unserem Anlass fernhalten. Wenn wir wirklich wollen, kriegen wir den Rest (Stichworte Übersetzung und Vereinsgründung) auf die Reihe.Wenn ich diese Zusagen erhalte, reserviere ich am Mittwoch das Lokal und wir können beginnen, den Tag mit Vorträgen etc. zu strukturieren.
Concerning presentations: Just yesterday, I met Marcus M.Dapp, a researcher at ETH and expertinOS, at apresentation aboutfree softwarein Fribourg and he showed interest in participating at the WP Day. Robin might already know him. He could eventually hold a presentation about the political and social aspect of digital context that is made available for free to everybody. Link: http://www.thealternative.chSeid ihr dabei? Es würde mich freuen!GrussRobin___Wikimediach-l mailing listWikimediach-l@Wikipedia.orghttp://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l
