Hi all, I have received a few messages asking for clarity in response to the message about Wikimania.
*We are submitting a proposal for a day zero advocacy workshop*. This will follow a similar format as in Singapore and Katowice. There was no interest in the last advocacy network call to form a working group on the topic, so the workshop organizing will be co-led by myself and WMEU. We will come to this group for input on the draft agenda, time-slot for the workshop, and other details. As Butch said, please submit sessions about your public policy advocacy work to the main conference so the rest of the movement has a chance to learn about the important initiatives you've run this past year! Wishing you all a lovely weekend, Ziski On Thu, Mar 20, 2025 at 11:39β―AM Butch Bustria <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Public Policy Wikimedians, > > As we mark 20 years of Wikimania, we are thrilled to invite you to > contribute to this milestone conference happening in Nairobi, Kenya, from > August 6-9, 2025, with a pre-conference on August 5.
