Talks and Wikipermanences

• Talks• 6 talks during “Free software days” in or near Rennes since 2009• Few people attend these envents, and they are mostly “geek”•Helps make ties with other Free software and contents projects (like LUGs and OSM)

• Wikipermanences• 3 Wikipermanences since April• Few people without advertisement• But 60 people in May for “WP dans Rennes”

Mardi c’est Wiki(“Wiki Tuesdays”)

• Weekly encounters since 2009• Originally for article edition contests

• Regular encounters help keeping contributors and having them more implicated in the projects

• The weekly basis permits the durability of the “Wiki Tuedays”
