Die niederlandischen Wikimedianer veranstalten am 27. Oktober zum zweiten Mal eine kleine Konferenz und zwar in „Onbekend“. Ach nee, der Ort ist noch unbekannt 😉 Oder wie es auf der entsprechenden Wiki-Seite heisst:

De Wikimedia Conferentie Nederland 2007 (WCN’07) is de editie 2007 van de jaarlijkse conferentie georganiseerd door Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland. Naast de gebruikelijke onderwerpen binnen Wikimedia zal de conferentie zich dit jaar ook richten op de raakvlakken tussen Wikimedia en Educatie.

Oder wie Lodewijk Gelauff (Program coordinator Wikimedia Conference NL committee) in einem „Call for Participation“ schreibt:

On 27 October 2007 the Association Wikimedia Netherlands (Dutch chapter) will organize the Wikimedia Conference Nederland for the second time. This edition will have the theme „Wikis and education“, and is targeting both the Wikimedia communities and the education sector. To provide a balanced program both interesting for the Wikimedia communities as for the visitors from the education sector, it is important that a wide range of lectures is provided.

The main language of the conference will be Dutch, but I would however like to invite everybody to propose a talk in English if (s)he feels that it would add something to the conference. I foresee that we will have several talks in English, as not every subject can be covered by Dutch speakers.

The conference will consist of three tracks:

• Wikis for education (the use of wikis in the education sector)
• Wikitech (Technical developments and enhancements)
• Wikimedia Rainbow (a broad range of subjects related to Wikimedia)

Proposals can be sent until 1 July 20 to wcn at wikimedia dot org. All proposals should contain: Title, summary (200-300 words),type of presentation, track, the name and contact details of the lecturer and possibly other notes. Please mention if you are able to cover the costs for attending and speaking at the conference yourself or if you would require reimbursement.

I hope to receive several proposals from abroad, and also hope that several people will be able to visit the conference. We aim at having one presentation in the English language in each time frame during the conference, but cannot guarantuee that. Shortly the presubscriptions will open. Please keep an eye on this list and/or the website of Dutch chapter. The website will later on be provided with more English information.

P.S.: Die Mitgliederversammlung des Wikimedia Deutschland findet übrigens am 1. Juli
2007 in Frankfurt am Main statt. Tags zuvor gibt es verschiedene Workshops und man kann Mitglied werden.
