Convite - Wikicon Brasil 2025

Oi Caio!, tudo bem?

Não sei se já ficou sabendo, mas em julho teremos a WikiCon Brasil 2025, a grande conferência de/para wikimedistas no Brasil, e está aberta até 30 de abril a inscrição para auxílio aos editores que moram no Brasil, mas fora da cidade de Salvador (passagem e hospedagem). Não sei se isso se aplica a você, mas escrevo para recomendar fortemente que peça esse auxílio, pois será um espaço único e dedicado para a nossa comunidade. Inscreva-se aqui!

Esperamos reunir a comunidade wikimedista em seu sentido amplo, especialmente pessoas e organizações que já estão envolvidas nos projetos Wikimedia, mas também alcançar organizações que possam estar interessadas em conhecer e contribuir de várias maneiras para a evolução da comunidade brasileira.

As vagas são limitadas e talvez nem todas as solicitações de bolsa sejam atendidas. A avaliação dos pedidos passará por um comitê de avaliação, identificado na página do evento, e há certamente vontade para haver a presença de nossos principais wikimedistas, principalmente os nossos administradores, eliminadores e editores mais dedicados. Avise-me se tiver dúvidas.

Abraços, ━ Albertoleoncio Who, me? 12h45min de 23 de abril de 2025 (UTC)
