Hi lodewijk, Good to hear! All the non native English speakers from institutions i spoke to (admitted, this is not hundreds) have basically the same concern: the conference is huge, a panel is somehow prominent resp the persons sitting on the panel are kind of exposed, the result is uploaded to youtube. There was one suggestion to just schedule it in a less formal open discussion style at the end of the glam track. This then would give the persons a possibility to anyway participate without beeing so much exposed. What you think?

Last year in the WLM panel, we also had a panel member from Latin America with similar doubts - and we asked a Wikimedian from Latin America to translate for them. It is not an optimal situation, but it can be done. > > Lodewijk > > > 2014-03-25 19:42 GMT+01:00 rupert THURNER <[email protected]>: >> >> Hi, >> >> Would there be any possibility ro have simultaneous translation at the glam podium discussion? The person whom we asked from the swiss national library refused to take part as his English would not be up to a level allowing him to sufficiently contribute. This would be German - English. >> >> Best regards, >> >> Rupert >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Wikimania-l mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimania-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l >
