Project scope

Wikimedia Denmark would like to let two board members participate in a Nordic event covering free software. At this event we will be able to discuss a variety of issues concering Wikimedia's projects with people who has a genuine interest on the subject.

We will establish a stand with other Nordic Wikimedia chapters and have a Nordic Wikimedia meeting.

Project goal

Help people understand Wikimedia's projects better - including free licenses, editing, contributing and re-using.
Recruit new contributors to Wikimedia's projects.
Hold a Nordic Wikimedia meeting.
Recruit new members for Wikimedia Denmark.
Recruit new members for other Nordic Wikimedia chapters.

Non-financial requirements

We will not require non-financial help, but access e.g. bookshelf and other works to help us out.

Fit to strategy

Generalle we hope the project will help us use the free software community and help them using us. This is done through our common Nordic stand where we will tell and show people about the projects.

Other benefits

This project allows us to take advantage of meet other Nordic chapters in person and help out each other.

Measures of success

We will consider this project a success if we have 100 discussions and recruit 5 new members for Wikimedia Denmark. However impact on people may be hard to measure so these numbers are merely estimations.
