Hi everyone,
Wikipeda & Education User Group [1] was formally approved recently and
we have started with our work! We want to help facilitate, support, and
advocate for educational work in the Wikimedia community and if you want
to support us in that, please join our user group by filling in a simple
form. [2]
We from the group's board are still in the process of setting things up
for the user group, but we want as many people as possible joining us,
especially people that believe that Wikimedia belongs in education,
because there's a lot of education things to do in our movement.
Also, don't let the user group's name fool you: we support all Wikimedia
projects and all Wikimedians and Wikimedia friends are welcome! :)
Cheers,
Filip Maljković

Dear all,
Now that the Wikipedia & Education User Group has been officially approved
and Wikimania is over, it's time to jump-start our activity and start
working together again. Exciting, I know! :)
To do that, we'd like have an online meeting, where we will share updates
and will determine our next steps as a user group, the first of which would
be to start an election process to choose a board for our user group.
*Here's a link to a doodle <https://doodle.com/poll/zb5q8ph4zstv9u3b> which
will help us determine a time for a meeting.* As we are an international
crowd, an effort was made to include time slots that might work for
different places in the world simultaneously. You should be seeing this in
your own time zone.
Please vote on the best dates & times for you* by next Wednesday, August 15
at midnight (whenever that is :)). *A final date will be announced on
Thursday, August 16.
Who is invited to participate in the meeting?
Anyone who's doing work around Wikipedia & Education is invited, no matter
where they are from, or from which group or chapter. As long as
participants are polite, friendly and ready to work with others, they are
welcome!
Best,
Shani.
Happens to the best :)
Hope to see you in a short while!
