- Thanks for the welcome Mike! And thanks for the tips. I've been starting out under guidance from Graeme Arnott (talk), one of Glasgow's Wikimedia UK volunteers, who's been really good at steering me towards those helpful starting out guides. Look forward to doing more edits in future. Elflin (talk) 22:26, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Wikimania 2014
[edit]Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller and video producer for the Wikimedia Foundation. I'll be looking to capture stories about Wikimedians at Wikimania in London in a week. Here is an example of the kind of thing that I'm aiming to do. I saw that you're attending Wikimania and I was wondering if you might have some time to talk about what do you on Wikimedia projects. Anyway let me know if you are interested, I'll be at Wikimania from the 6th-10th of August and would need maybe 30 minutes of your time. I can answer any questions you may have. I’m best reached at vgrigas(at)wikimedia.org
Thanks!

Help decide the future of Wikimania
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Wikimania_logo_with_text.svg/100px-Wikimania_logo_with_text.svg.png)
The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.
In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
With thanks,

Towards a New Wikimania results
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Wikimania_logo_with_text.svg/100px-Wikimania_logo_with_text.svg.png)
Last December, I invited you to share your views on the value of Wikimedia conferences and the planning process of Wikimania. We have completed analysis of these results and have prepared this report summarizing your feedback and important changes for Wikimania starting in 2018 as an experiment. Feedback and comments are welcome at the discussion page. Thank you so much for your participation. I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, 22:47, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
