Dear all
A first request to vice chairman of VIS (Verein der Informatik
Studierenden) at ETH was responded in a positive way. This means we can
further try getting GEP building for Wikipedia day 2006. In addition
there is a possibility to use the rooms in IFW building without
limitations in time (remember GEP would close at 17:00). IFW is located
~300 m to GEP but not so central/no walk by visitors. We could maybe
establish a staff-chill out there when the official WP day is over.
As written on the homepage
http://ch.wikimedia.org/wiki/Events/Wikipedia_Day_2006
these rooms are just minutes away from Zurich main station and parking
space is available on Saturdays.
I would suggest to put about 30 seats in the front half of the room for
workshops and speeches. In the back part and I suggest bistro tables
with laptops. Finger food and drinks could be served on a side part of
the room. Bigger speeches (Jimbo Wales?) could be held in a room in IFW
(up to 176 seats).
On Monday I will find out on which Saturdays we can get the rooms. Then
we will need a decision about place and time till January 29th. So tell
me your opinion!
Regards
Robin
