Is anyone planning on attending Wikimania 2009 in Buenos Aires? I will be if I can get a scholarship [1], and was also thinking someone should talk about WMUK. So I was planning to submit an "open space discussion" [2] about the chapter, which would be a chance to talk about some of the things we've done (or will have done by then) and discuss the chapter with the wider community. (The other formats - presentation and panel - seem overly formal and not as flexible, moreover I don't think I can prepare the application in time for their earlier deadline of the 15th!) The deadline for open space discussion submissions is the 30th April.
So, is anyone planning to attend, and would they be interested in joining this endeavour? Or has anyone submitted a similar application that I don't know about? It would of course also be a great opportunity to learn more about Wikimania, in preparation for *fingers crossed* 2010 Pete / the wub [1] - http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships [2] - http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
