Time: 09:30-11:00
Room: Alfonso Reyes Auditorium
Abstract:
The Wikimedia & Libraries User Group exists to connect the library community with Wikimedia projects and to make the Wikimedia community a better place. Our mission is to "bring together Wikipedians, librarians and information professionals who engage Wikipedia and related projects within library communities, including academic, public, special and private libraries worldwide." In this business meeting, you will hear from the current leaders of the Wikimedia & Libraries User Group. We will give a report about our activities, communication strategy, and plans for the future. You will have the opportunity to share your hopes, dreams, and new ideas for the user group. We will also discuss plans for the upcoming elections and share how you can run for a leadership position if you are interested.
During the second half of the meeting, several invited guests from the community and the foundation will discuss allied movements and talk about their relationship with the Wikimedia & Libraries User Group.
