Wikimedia CH/Idea workshop 2017
Building upon our experience from last year and as already announced, we would like to organise this year's edition of our "Idea creation workshop" on the upcoming 6th of May. We would thus like to warmly invite you to a day full of creativity and collaboration addressing projects for the years to come. What would you like to work on? What are your thoughts, ideas? How could we as an association work closer together with you? Being closely aligned with the Wikimedia Foundation, we are collecting thoughts and input that will potentially find its way into our future plans and goals. As you might know, in September every year, we are proposing projects/programs for funding to the WMF to create our annual plan, this year to plan for 2018. You will tremendously help our Chapter and the volunteers if you'd hop on the train and participate in the workshop!
