00:07 - How to Start a Party on Six Continents
Steven Walling, Moka Pantages
Wikipedia's 10th anniversary may be the single largest and
most widely-celebrated event in the history of the Wikimedia
movement. But more important than the sheer size of the
anniversary, there were also ambitious experiments by
volunteers and the Foundation that broke new ground for what
is possible in organizing globally-oriented, real world events
about Wikimedia. This presentation will be a retrospective on
what has occurred so far in Wikipedia's 10th year celebrations,
and will try to derive some lessons for anyone running events in
our movement.

23:05 - Wiki Loves Monuments
Maarten Dammers (User:Multichill), Lodewijk Gelauff
In September 2011 we're organizing Wiki Loves Monuments
2011. The basic concept is the same as 2010: Get photos of
cultural heritage, but the big difference is that the even will be
organized in multiple European countries. We will describe how
the organization is going and what effects this project already
had on heritage projects on different Wikipedia's.

So far, over a dozen cities have held Wikipedia photo scavenger
hunts, contributing thousands of valuable images to Wikimedia
projects. These events present a variety of unique challenges.

to organize and facilitate a successful photo scavenger hunt for
your city.
