Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference, Wien, November 20-22

[Andrea Zanni]

Thank you Felix,
it's a great suggestion.

The programme for the event is not done yet so it's important to get all
the feedbacks now;
I agree with you that a beginner walkthrough would be important, especially
for GLAM partners (that could be thus interested in participating).

Just a fuzzy idea: it would be great IMHO that Distributed Proofreaders
editing interface would be briefly shown and discussed. There's much to
learn from it; at least, I personally learned much from it. If there's any
Distributed Proofreaders expert  in Wien, it would be great to invite him.

Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference, Wien, November 20-22

[Raphael Berchie]

I think this is a good initiative and it will offer GLAM enthusiasts
like me the chance to learn more about WS so I can start editing WS
and also incorporate that into our GLAM project with the Libraries.

 Dear all,
 thanks to Wikimedia Österreich we are organizing the first
 international
 Wikisource Conference, which will be held in Wien, Austria, from
 November
 20 till 22, this year.

 We are finalizing the application for a WMF grant, and would like to
 receive some feedbacks:

 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WCUG/Wikisource_Conference_2015

 Hopefully, everything will go for the better and we will receive the
 money.
 From there, a lot of work have to be done!

 Here there is the page for the conference on Meta:

 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group/Wikisource_Conference_2015

 It's up to *you* to come up with a program for the conference :-)
 Seriously: it's important that this will be a community event, and
 community curated too.
 We will have many things to discuss, and we hope it will be great
 event.
 And yes: if everything goes as expected, there will be scholarships,
 but
 it's crucial that we involve our Chapters.
 More on this soon.

 Spend some time in the weekend to give us some honest feedback!
 I hope you are excited about this as we are.

 Thanks

 Andrea, David, Claudia

Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference, Wien, November 20-22

[Thomas Tanon]

Thank you so much for organising this event!

I am able to attend (yeah!) and ready to act as the fallback guy if there is no 
other volunteer to do technical talks.

Are some people interested to organise a small Wikisource hackathon before the 
conference (I'll be on holidays the week before the conference)?

Cheers,

Thomas

 I remember making this suggestion at the WMCON 15 and am glad to finally
 see it coming to life. I however wish to say that upon reading the
 conference page on Meta, I added a new line to the curriculum for the
 beginners section for the program.
 
 I added Beginners Walkthrough. This is particularly important to me and
 i
 believe that was the main reason behind my suggestion or perhaps part of
 the reason for this conference. I thought it will be a perfect
 opportunity
 to train interested individuals who have no or little help finding their
 way around Wikisource.
 
 I have tried several times to contribute to Wikisource but have no idea
 where to start from. So i have resorted to proofreading texts. I think
 often than not this is the situation people face, and will appreciate a
 beginners walkthrough at its very basic level.

 Felix

Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikisource Conference, Wien, November 20-22

[Ernest Boucher]

Have the organizers asked Quim Gil (q...@wikimedia.org) at the Foundation
for support from the development team and from the tool labs if we want to
have people with us that could fix some of the problems easily while we're
at it? The foundation would surely be gald to support such an event with
their teams...
