After passing through the main entrance of the STATION you’ll enter our re:publica square – the heart of #rp12. Here you’ll be able accreditate yourselves, gain access to all the different halls and our purpose built #rp12 re:staurant (2 – 3 May until 22:00, 4 May until 20:00) – in the menu you will find f. ex. Yellow fish curry with ginger and chillies – served with basmati rice or Mozzarella salad with avocado, romaine lettuce, papaya and walnuts.
Here you’ll also find our info stands, the event programme schedule, as well as the booths of our event partners who will be happy to meet-and-greet you. Use the re:publica square to register for workshops which we’ve mentioned already. In other words: the ACT!ON starts here.

Wikimedia
Questions on copy right laws, free licences, and how to change the world for the better, have traditionally played an important role at re:publica. So where would be it more appropriate do discuss visions for an open-access collaborative database, a complete image-based acquisition of our cultural heritage, or new forms of knowledge-build. Stand 12 at re:publica square will feature Wikimedia Germany, and be a contact point during the three days on the topics of free knowledge.
The whole Wikimedia programme can be found here as PDF.
