Groups/pt-br



Grupos do MediaWiki organizam atividades da comunidade open source dentro do escopo de tópicos específicos e áreas geográficas. They are Wikimedia User Groups that agree on a level of coordination in the MediaWiki context. As such, they extend the capacity of the Wikimedia Foundation in events, training, promotion and other technical activities benefiting Wikipedia, the Wikimedia movement and the MediaWiki software.

MediaWiki Groups are open to members of different specialties and levels of expertise. Quanto mais rico e diversificado, melhor. Non-technical users willing to contribute and learn are welcome too! All groups commit to the Friendly space policy.

MediaWiki groups can request support from the Wikimedia Foundation and chapters in various forms.

Thematic groups
Thematic MediaWiki groups collaborate with their logical counterparts in the wider FLOSS community. They are global groups, collaborating online.
 * They are in touch with communities within the same focus.
 * They participate in events of the same topic.
 * They promote related training and outreach activities.
 * They help improving the related documentation in wikimedia.org.
 * They collaborate with the related development teams.
 * Eventually some of them meet at [//wikimania.wikimedia.org/ Wikimania].

Local groups

 * San Francisco

Local MediaWiki groups collaborate with Wikimedia chapters, See also Wikipedia meetups and other local communities related with Wikimedia, free software, free culture... Their focus consists in face to face activities:
 * Organization of local events: meetups, training, hackfests... These events adhere to the WMF Friendly space policy.
 * Participação em eventos realizados em sua área.
 * Distribution of merchandising.
 * Promoção de colaboradores locais para atividades globais da MediaWiki e da Wikimedia.

Também para grupos que não falam inglês: Grupos locais devem ser realmente locais. Pontos de partida, como por exemplo Recife, Munique ou São Petersburgo são melhores que o Brasil, a Alemanha ou a Rússia. If you miss a channel for regional coordination then consider a regional mailing list.
 * Localização de documentação e software seguindo processos do translatewiki.net.
