Mailing List Archive: : EuroWikimania topics

Hi all,
I am trying to plan and prepare a 3day
EuroWikimania<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EuroWikimania>.
While I am still negotiating an exact date the conference probably will be
held at late January or early February. Potential sponsors want to have an
idea what they are throwing their money in so I need to provide them a
schedule to give them a general idea. This schedule will not be binding - It
will just be an unofficial general outline.
So feel free to fill in slots at

Thanks
White Cat

Wikimedia Sverige, the Swedish chapter, is 1 of 3 co-organizers
of the FSCONS conference in GÃ¶teborg on October 24-26, 2008.

http://fscons.org/

FSCONS started last year as the Free Software Conference
Scandinavia, organized by the Free Software Foundation-Europe,
which has offices in GÃ¶teborg. This year's conference has kept
the short name but dropped the long one, and is co-organized with
Creative Commons.SE and Wikimedia Sverige.

If I have any personal opinion about a "Euro Wikimania" it is that
the name Wikimania will be confused with the large international
event, and that Europe is too big to function as a region. I
doubt that many Swedes will travel to Istanbul for a conference
that isn't global. We had better aim for one regional conference
in each corner of Europe, each covering a radius of 1000 km.
