Delphine,

I don't think you need a warm welcome because this has been your home for
centuries I see.

All I can say is that congrats and have fun.

Regards,
Bobby Shabangu

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Invitation to “Engaging local Wikipedians” and “German Wikipedia” Workshop at Wikimania

2016-06-22 Thread Martin Rulsch
Hi Wikimaniacs,

Thank you very much for your interest in these two workshops shown onwiki
and via mail!
Due to some misunderstandings for which we are very sorry, we had to change
the rooms for these workshops. We can luckily use the “Meeting” room right
in the center of Esino Lario in replace:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario/Meeting_rooms/Meeting
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=45.99450=9.5#map=19/45.99506/9.33353
.
The “Engaging local Wikipedians” workshop will take place there from 10 am
to noon (12 pm), and the “German Wikipedia” workshop from 2 pm to 5:30 pm.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you in the “Meeting” room!
:-) Hope to see you around in Esino Lario.

Best,
Martin

You seem to be speaking from experience here. You're scaring me. o.O


But joke aside, thank you all for the warm welcome to my new role. I
am really looking forward to this, and intend to bring the experience
I gathered over the last 10 years or so as a volunteer to my new job.
;) It's still me, you know...

I'll be User:Delphine (WMF) in my official capacity, I'll stay
User:notafish forever though, after all, I am stil not a fish.


Cheers,

Delphine

[Wikimedia-l] Medical day at Wikimania

Hey All

We are having a medical day at Wikimania tomorrow Jun 23rd. Buses leave
from Esino Lario at 8:40 pm. This event is open to everyone. We will be
discussing some of the major initiatives we have worked on since the last
Wikimania. The location is on the lake and from what I understand is
beautiful :-)
