FOSDEM (Brussels, Belgium) is probably the best community driven FOSS event in Europe. It's massive, chaotic and fun.

2014[edit]

1-2 February: https://fosdem.org/2014/

We have one main track session: The Wikipedia Stack, by Erik Moeller.

Wikis devroom[edit]

Join the Wikis devroom on Saturday 1st. See the schedule.

Coordination: Quim Gil (MediaWiki), Vincent Massol (XWiki) and Jean-Marc Libs (Tiki) coordinate the devroom.

Wikimedia stand[edit]

See the complete list of stands.

Team: Dimitar Dimitrov (coordinator, Wikimedia Belgium), Quim Gil (Wikimedia Foundation). Stevie Benton (Wikimedia UK), Lydia Pintscher (Wikimedia Deutschland).

Keep in mind for next time:

* We had somebody ask about accepting donations at the stand (henna)

* People asking to buy things (henna)

  • Also need more goodies; other projects fundraiser a bit that way and have lots. We should have a selection on shirts and mugs for sale (both very popular)

Stand design[edit]

What do we get from the organizers? Are they setting any requirements?

:Asked organisers for details, no response yet. dimi

Do we need to print anything?

:A banner would be great. WMBE had prepared to have one, but we can't do it, because we're not affiliated yet. dimi

  • Who will bring what? (MediaWiki and Wikidata information material, WMBE/WMUK/WMDE goodies)
