Hey Gregory,
Are you planing to include Portuguese in the list of target languages?
Best,

I am not entirely sure how this connects to the topic of the thread.
However, I feel I should note that we are indeed interested in translating
into other languages, and have been seeking people to help with translation
of the website and other organization materials:
I would love to try doing this for the upcoming North American
Wikiconference.
What are examples of events you've participated in that did this well?

In fact, there are countless offset projects in the $1-$15/tonne range, as
well: https://offset.climateneutralnow.org/allprojects
The total offsetting budget would not need to be too enourmous, yet it
could be impactful.

I don’t know why they don’t give the chance to translate.

Surely it doesn't really matter who within the organisation is racking
up the CO2? More important is the fact that the Foundation
acknowleges itself responsible for about 2,000 tonnes of CO2 emission.
At an offset price around $100/tonne, presumably we may expect that as
an interim measure, WMF
Maybe we can (as a movement) can invest more of our resources in the
development of video conferencing and filming the presentations. Most
volunteers are simple users, the are not necessarily computer techs, which
means that we need to develop a "plug-and-play" method of participating.

Hello,
I totally support Illario words: "if the option is to pay 500 long travels
for scholarships by flight to attend a single event or to pay 500 travels
for the staff of WMF to attend several regional conferences, the answer
will be in favor of the second option which is more sustainable and
For work groups experience tells a first meting IRL to get to know each
other is necessary, but after that video conference works well.
For big events, why not have groups (40-50 persons) get together on
local level with excellent on-line facilities (wide screens etc) that
connects to all
Imagine a world where instead of going through security for 2 or 3
hours, flying for 4 hours and travelling by train and bus to get to
and from airports in order to enjoy a physical meeting with fellow
Wikimedians, you simply got a bus or train and travelled for an hour
to a fun meeting place
I don't know but if the option is to pay 500 long travels for scholarships
by flight to attend a single event or to pay 500 travels for the staff of
WMF to attend several regional conferences, the answer will be in favor of
the second option which is more sustainable and more efficient.
I have
This probably goes too far of this thread, but judging from another thread
where attendance complain that no C-level WMF executive attended the French
language conference, people expect from Wikimania not so much the talks
(which I guess by now are available online anyway), but a chance of meeting
Is it, perhaps, that the value a lot of people derive from these events is
not just the conference itself, but the ability to meet fellow Wikimedians
face-to-face and make meaningful contacts and even friendships that may
never otherwise have come about? I'm all about virtual, but there is value
Yes
We dont give all scholarships for that reason while for regional Wikicon we
receive more requests and we fill the amount immediately.
It's not an opinion that in our events people prefer to arrive by train and
not by flight. We see it as soon we receive the expenses report and when we
ask
We used to regularly raise the issue of a lack of active
videoconferencing at Wikimania. Though we (Wikimedians) are highly
technically literate, we still do not host virtual attendees, such as
3D virtual conferencing and claim it a win if we release video streams
of some of the presentations.
I am a Swiss member, and I did go to Wikimania (and did a small
presentation).
I think that you need to clarify you statement:
"In Wikimedia CH we cannot give scholarships for Wikimania because people
would not do long trips."
When looking up what was sais for Wikimania 2019 I read:
"Wikimedia
Anyways this is perceived by the community.
In Wikimedia CH we cannot give scholarships for Wikimania because people
would not do long trips.
IMHO the problem is these big events.
For this reason we prefer to give more scholarships for regional wikicon
than to Wikimania.
This is the reason why
