Me and Tpt were there last year,
and I'm available if the User Group is ok with that, but maybe others would
like to go
representing the WCUG?

The Conference is a matter of talking, talking, talking with a lot of
people,
and convincing Sam's boss to let him work for Wikisource ;-)

If you can both go again that would be great. Otherwise maybe Nicolas
Vigneron and  Federico Leva might represent the WCUG.

In any case I would think interesting to have Bodhisattwa Mandal joining
the party: that would allow to also give more voice to non-western
communities.

If one of the two designated WMIT board members falls sick I might have
to go, otherwise I won't.

The conference is very plethoric nowadays, so I see that 2 persons can
be sent by multiple other user groups having some overlap with
Wikisorcerers:

[Thomas Pellissier Tanon]

Me and Tpt were there last year.

The two representatives of the user group last year where Ernest fr.wikisource for the partnership track and Andrea for the strategy track. I was part of the "Invitees for the Movement Strategy Track", mostly talking/thinking about Wikisource during the strategy sessions but not a formal representative of the UG.

If you can both go again that would be great.

I am probably not the best person to talk with people so I believe it would be much better fo the user group to send someone else that would represent the group better. More it would be nice to get new Wikisource people, to attend global events (I already have plenty of occasions to attend such events with my technical hat).
So, I would be in favour to have one person used to such events (like Nicolas, Andrea or Bodhisattwa) and one new person who may be interested by the learning or partnership tracks.

In any case I would think interesting to have Bodhisattwa Mandal joining the party: that would allow to also give more voice to non-western communities.

Big +1 from a person outside of the en, fr, de, it communities.

Cheers,

Thomas

Hi,

Thank you for considering me, but I won't be able to attend the conference
this year. Also, I think that I am not at all the suitable person to
represent the Wikisource User Group. The best Wikisourcers are there
leading the Wikisource community globally and fighting for language equity
and I have huge respect to all of them. IMO, it would be best for the
project if these awesome Wikimedians represent the UG in the conference.

Jayanta Nath will be representing West Bengal Wikimedians User Group in the
conference officially and he will be there unofficially for Bengali and
other Indic Wikisource projects too. So, as far as non-Western Wikisource
is concerned, there will be at least one representative, for sure. \o/

Regards,

Bodhisattwa

Hi all,

Good to see that a lot of people will be there!

I'm available and I can go to Berlin in April (and I can talk about
'breton', my minority and almost dead language, does it count as
"non-Western"? :P) if the group agrees.

So how should we decide?
Should we vote somewhere (on meta?) or could we do something more simple
like: Andrea and I are going if there is no opposition in seven days? (the
deadline is coming fast and I'll be busy in the coming days)

Cdlt, ~nicolas

At least it counts as a minority language I guess. All the more, as said
Bodhisattwa, Jayanta can be at least one voice for the non-Western.
Admittedly it's not much but I don't know were to find statistic about
regional repetitiveness for that kind of event. On a side note, I
already checked that there would be some people able to talk in the name
of ELISo (Esperanto kaj LIbera Scio).

For me Andrea and yourself are fine. If the deadline is to close, I'm
fine with taking this decision in a "narrow comittee". Afterall the list
is open and accessible for anyone wanting to join.

But in the future it would be probably better from a transparency point
of view to inform more broadly the community through in-wiki mass
message and a consensual decision on Meta or something like that.
Particularly, I agree with Thomas with the importance of integrating new
comers.

Cheers.

Hi all,
Thanks for starting this post. I have been contributing in 'Tamil'
wikisource (ta.ws) for more than a year with admin rights. It sounds the
conference would be interesting as lot of discussions going to take place.
I would be available in April for the conference. Kindly consider my
application for the conference.

[Nicolas VIGNERON]

Hi all,

10 days until registration are closed.

I can let my place to J. Balaji (indeed it is a good idea to have someone
from a « non-western communities ») who can go with Andrea (and I stay
available as plan B if needed).

Is everyone ok with that ?

Cdlt, ~nicolas

[Bodhisattwa Mandal]

Hi,

Considering the positive responses to attend the conference, IMHO, Andrea
and Nicolas are the best persons to represent the user group in Berlin.

Best,

We're a bit stuck :-S.
I'd encourage also others to chime in and give their free opinion. This
should be the UG decision.
Another possibility is that Vigneron and Balaji go, of course: an
experienced member like Vigneron can and will be able to introduce Balaji
to the right people.
Also: any women?

Indeed, it would be optimal to end up with a new effective duo. :)

Dear Wikisource Community User Group,
this is an opportunity to decide who is going to the Wikimedia Conference
representing the international communities of Wikisource
at one of the major annual Wikimedia gatherings.
It's a very important part of the Wikimedia life, and in the past we know
it serves us, as a community.
It's very important for us to do this right.

So I encourage you to express an opinion, vote or something else for
sending someone.
There are 2 spots and, as of know, 3 candidates.
* Balaji, from Tamil Wikisource
* Vigneron, from French Wikisource
* Aubrey, from Italian Wikisource

We can even decide to throw a coin, but it's important for the community to
express themselves, and the time is up, we have a few days left.
I'm more than happy to resign my candidacy for this if this is what the
community wants: this is all about what the community wants, and, above
all, the community expressing it's will. There's no need for a User Group
if we can't decide such a simple thing together.

So, at the moment, I read
* 2 votes for Balaji
* 2 votes for Vigneron,
* 1 for Aubrey.

If at the end of tomorrow evening (European time?) there is no response,
they will be the delegates.(I can be a backup, just in case)
By the way, I think with Nemo that a new duo is a good idea, but, again, I
don't want the one who decides which is the new duo :-P
So it's your responsibility to choose it.


Cheers,

Aubrey

Hi all!

I think it is a good idea that Balaji becomes a WS User Group's
representant. As for Aubrey and Vigneron, I don't know who would be the
best delegate...

Best wishes for this new year,

I agree. I'd rather you all got to go! But if there's to be a choice, then I'd say Balaji is a good representative.

​Dear Andrea Zanni,
Thanks for the information. Would register
ASAP. ​I am not sure under which category I should apply for [Group 1],
[Group 2] or [Group 4]. So funding for my travel, stay, etc can be planned.

Thanks.

Cheers

Oh !

Thank you Mohsen and don't be sorry! I was sure I did this report but
indeed I didn't, I'll take care of that next week.

By the way, I'm back for the GLAMwiki conference in Tel Aviv, where we
talked a lot about Wikisource (including in the official keynotes from the
Foundation \o/ ).
One point that came a lot was the lack of documentation about Wikisource
(I'm to blame here but apparently I'm not the only one ;) ). This is really
something we should work on.
