Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Serbia office
Congratulations dear Mile! :) So good to hear this! Kudos to the Serbia chapter for opening their office :) On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 11:07 AM, Fae fae...@gmail.com wrote: On 20 November 2012 22:09, Filip Maljkovic dungod...@gmail.com wrote: Our employee is Mile Kiš, our General Secretary. He's been a tremendous help for us in the past years and he's been doing more than full time work for us as a volunteer, so I'm especially glad that he's going to be able to help us as an employee, as well as be able to work on his personal professionalization. My personal congratulations to Mile, and to Filip and rest of the team in Serbia for taking this strategic step. :-) You were all welcoming and brimming with energy at the WMCEE conference, and I look forward to the great things you are going to achieve in 2013, pushing forward the boundaries of open knowledge on behalf of the movement.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Are you planning a hackathon in 2013? Please let us know.
Dear Erik, I know of two volunteers, Harsh and Sheel from India who have been keen to organize hackathons and help with localization. Sumana had offered to help us out and we realized that only links or information doesn't really help. So, we thought doing a Skype call where someone can walk people through the little details or answer specific questions would be great. Another thought, webcasting some such developer meets could also be great learning. Just thought I'd put this out because I am sure there are more Indian editors who would love to join in if there's such a call. Hope to see more hackathons and tech events soon :) Best Noopur On Sun, Nov 11, 2012 at 11:12 AM, Erik Moeller e...@wikimedia.org wrote: jHi all, a reminder to chapters and volunteers around the world -- if you're planning a hackathon, please let us know beforehand by adding it to this page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_developer_meetings Consistent with Sue's recommendations to the Board, Wikimedia Foundation will spend less time organizing events on its own, and will more frequently send smaller groups to events organized around the world by the movement at large. But to do so we need to know what's coming up. :) Hackathons/DevCamps are a great way to help the movement. They can engage the existing volunteer developer commmunity, help expand it, bring together engineers with other Wikimedia practitioners, and create a focused space. We hope more folks around the world will take a role in hosting such developer events. If you would like WMF's thoughts and input, please feel free to ping Sumana (sumanah at wikimedia.org).
