Dear member of the Wikimedia Movement, During our last Wikimedia CH board meeting, we resolved to set up a web conferencing solution.
After reviewing our needs, we decided that the most effective solution would be that of setting up a dedicated server for that purpose. From a chapter level point of view, it could appear like an expensive investment, but put in the context of the Wikimedia movement, this investment (not such a large one, in fact) could be made profitable quite easily. We plan to give access to these tools at first to all the chapters and affiliated group, as then as well for thematic groups. Deployment is planned for the next Wikimedia Conference in Milan. In the meantime, people interested in getting access to the tools can contact us by email at supp...@wikimedia.ch, with a simple description of the project, an estimation of the number of people interested and the frequency of usage. For further information on the chosen solution, you can check the Big Blue Button website. http://www.bigbluebutton.org/ For the Wikimedia CH board Charles ___________________________________________________________ Charles ANDRES, Chairman "Wikimedia CH" – Association for the advancement of free knowledge – www.wikimedia.ch Office +41 (0)21 340 66 20 Skype: charles.andres.wmch IRC://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-ch _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
