The third Filipino Wikipedians meet-up in Metro Manila was held at Starbucks in The Podium, Ortigas, Mandaluyong City

(near SM Megamall) on Sunday, October 21, 2007 2:00-4:00 PM. The Philippine Wikipedia community had invited Tin Mandigma of Read or Die Philippines who answered questions regarding their organization's success and how it would apply to Wikimedia Philippines.

Agenda

  • Questions to be answered by Tin Mandigma:
  • Do you really need a foundation to be successful?
  • How many hours/week do you put in to handle something like RoD?
  • How do you manage volunteers who you only meet once a month or so?
  • How do you make all those tie-ups with companies like National, Powerbooks (but I guess this is quite natural for RoD... it would probably be educational institutions for WMPH...)?
  • How do you get publicity from mainstream media?
  • WMPH logistics
  • Bylaws discussion
  • Projects that the community can use for the promotion of Wikipedia, Wikimedia projects and free content in the Philippines
  • Other concerns on the Philippine-language Wikipedias
