Coordination: Quim Gil (MediaWiki), Vincent Massol (XWiki) and Jean-Marc Libs (Tiki) coordinate the devroom.

Wikimedia stand

See the complete list of stands.

Team: Dimitar Dimitrov (coordinator, Wikimedia Belgium), Quim Gil (Wikimedia Foundation). Stevie Benton (Wikimedia UK), Lydia Pintscher (Wikimedia Deutschland).

Keep in mind for next time:

* We had somebody ask about accepting donations at the stand (henna)

* People asking to buy things (henna)

  • Also need more goodies; other projects fundraiser a bit that way and have lots. We should have a selection on shirts and mugs for sale (both very popular)

What do we get from the organizers? Are they setting any requirements?
