As results of this we receive applications from more than 30 persons. With this volunteers we are organizing the most important activities of this year for WLM. Was needed to train this people in Wikimedia Commons working, WLM rules and social media, for this reason we held some meetings with them to create a team for the future work expected because of WLM. 4 sessions were done in this month. There are working teams in the cities of Mexico city, Guadalajara, Puebla and Mérida.
Third Edit-a-thon in Puebla
[editar]The wikimedians community in the city of Puebla is growing and they are interesed in doing more activities. For that reason they organized their third edit-a-thon to get more people to their movement and explain to people how Wikipedia works. During the edit-a-thon was given to talks by Iván Martínez and Salvador Alcántar about Wikipedia, the first, and about Creative Commons Licenses, the last. The topic of the Edit-a-thon was "Mexican contemporary literature", for that reason were organized two panels: one with writers who talked about their relationship and how they get inspired by Wikipedia and a second with the same topic but in this case with journalists.
The edit-a-thon was run during an entirely day in which we have around 35 persons
