Projects in incubation/Wikibus to Esino Lario

Wiki Wiki Shuttle, the bus from which Wikis got their name

This project won't cost the earth: we estimate the CO₂ emissions will be less than 40% than if a dozen people go by air!

Concept

To take a minibus from London to Esino Lario for Wikimania 2016 taking a dozen wikimedians and Wikimedia UK luggage and also providing a transport resource for the duration of the Wikimania event.

Key questions

Why?

1. Provide a cost-effective way of enabling Wikimedian volunteers to travel to Wikimania 2016
2. Provide a cost-effective way of taking and bringing back Wikimedia UK luggage (Equipment, WMUK Publicity and other appropriate material) to Wikimania 2016
3. Provide an addition to the resource pool for the effective delivery of Wikimania 2016
4. Provide a team-building experience for Wikimedia UK volunteers supporting Wikimania 2016
5. Provide a reliable structure so that volunteer tasks can be delegated to the Wikimedia UK Volunteer team during Wikimania 2016
6. Fun: provide a positive memorable experience for volunteers, visiting interesting places on the way and endeavouring to meet other Wikimeidans on the way. Maybe we can form a convoy.
