The discussion board of the SQ Wikipedia, Open Labs forum, the Open Labs Hackerspace facebook and twitter page, Open Labs website and the WCUGA twitter page are only some of the communication channels that will be used to promote the event.

We are planning to work on the materials that will be offered by the National Film Center and for the participant which are not active on Wikimedia projects there will be 3 persons from the user group that will help them. In addition, we will use laptops and hardware from Open Labs hackerspace for participants that do not have hardware with them.

Using the Education Program Dashboard we will follow up with the participants also after the event. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs_%26_Events_Dashboard .
