Programme/Governance

Wikimania is a good chance to understand how the governance works. You can discover the ecosystem of the Wikimedia projects and meet the people supporting them, technically but also with activities in the territories. Wikimedia Foundation is also a grant maker and it has some grant opportunities for people who want to submit a project or proposal to increase in different ways the quality of the Wikimedia projects.

When and where you can meet the board of Wikimedia Foundation

During Wikimania the board of Wikimedia Foundation has private meetings on Wednesday and Thursday. They don't have many opportunities during the year to meet in person and Wikimania is a chance for them to work together and then to gather with the community.
