Well, perhaps this is for you: on*Thursday afternoon*, we will be hosting a workshop for creating animated explainer videos for Wikimedia projects: https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop_for_Explainer_Videos Videos have become a popular format for the dissemination of information - especially short animated explainer videos which provide a quick overview over complex topics. The same principle applies to Wikipedia: videos can enrich exisiting content and provide an entertaining and easily comprehensible access to free knowledge. Together with experts from the simpleshow foundation Wikimedia Österreich offers workshops for Wikimedians which are designed to learn the tricks of the trade of screenwriting for explainer videos. In the context of this year’s Wikimania we are happy to host such a workshop for the international community*.* Content of the workshop * Interested participants will learn the basic skills for creating plots of explainer videos: how to explain complex topics in a short and comprehensible way, how to work with cut-out animation, storyboard conception and visualization * The participants create and refine their scripts and storyboards together with the simpleshow foundation after the workshop * The realization and production of the finished storyboard will be done by the simpleshow foundation, the result will be published under the CC-BY-SA license on Wikimedia Commons * The screenwriters can use the videos for Wikipedia articles and other purposes What do you need? * Interest in storytelling * A topic for an explainer video * No previous knowledge in screenwriting or video production necessary Please sign up here: https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop_for_Explainer_Videos Claudia -- Claudia Garád Executive Director Wikimedia Österreich - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Siebensterngasse 25/15 1070 Wien 0699 141 28615 www.wikimedia.at http://www.wikimedia.at/ ___ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

Re: [Wikimania-l] How to get a pre-paid SIM card for Wikimania in 15 easy steps
Of course, you can always do it the old-fashioned way: pre-pay a travel pack from your own service provider (either before or after leaving home), pay a little bit more, but have your smartphone working the whole time without having to give out a new number, be able to get right down to enjoying Wikimania without trying to find the shops and investing precious time on a transaction, worrying about whether you'll have problems, etc. I'm a simple person. My plan is already on my phone.
