2023:Exchange center

From Wikimania

You can post here if you plan to bring something from your country (or other countries) to Singapore, in exchange for other things. If you want to bring something, put your name in the following table with the items you want to share. If you want to connect with the sharers in person and collect the items, you can sign in the last column. You can specify what you want to exchange or collect (or give!). That would hopefully be helpful to make more close global connections and get the best out of this year's Wikimania.

Items to consider bringing to this event: coins, bank notes, postcards, stamps, magnets, keychains, flags, etc.

Ideas

Badge

  • Let's write something in our name badge, to indicate that we're interested in exchanging things with other people. Bennylin (talk) 15:44, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
    Great idea! DomenikaBo (talk) 17:27, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
    Any idea what we should write / identify ourselves with? Bennylin (talk) 18:21, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
    If possible, we can put a sticker like this to our cards Kurmanbek (talk) 18:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
    I'm thinking something like words or initials or symbols that can be easily written in big letters. Because if stickers, who would print them? Bennylin (talk) 20:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
    Maybe Wikimania 2023 team can help to us. Kurmanbek (talk) 21:24, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
    @Bennylin @Kurmanbek Do you know who we could ask from Wikimedia23-Team? - DomenikaBo
    No idea and probably unrealistic since it involves someone paying for something that's not in the budget. Bennylin (talk) 10:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
    Maybe we can write a big EXCHANGE CLUB on our badge (in all Caps)? Bennylin (talk) 10:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

@Bennylin: @Kurmanbek: @Mrb Rafi: @Chipmunkdavis: @Sfs90: @Jagseer S Sidhu:@Filipinayzd:
It would be helpful if this page would be listed in the Main Navigation probably below Other. What do you guys think? Are we allowed to include it? DomenikaBo (talk) 17:31, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Meet Up?

@Bennylin: @Kurmanbek: @Mrb Rafi: @Chipmunkdavis: @Sfs90: @Jagseer S Sidhu:@Filipinayzd:
I suggest, that we schedule a Meetup. What do you guys think? Yes/ No? DomenikaBo (talk) 17:31, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

I feel scheduling a Meetup can bound us to a particular time. I suggest to chat on Telegram or make a group on Telegram when reaching Wikimania so that we can meet each other whenever we have time. Jagseer S Sidhu (talk) 03:18, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
I think it was mentioned in the Wikimania Telegram group that a table could be reserved for this event. Although it is not an official meeting, we can gather around a table. Kurmanbek (talk) 09:26, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
