Sorry if this is edging to off topic, but I know many of you are in or near London, and I've been asked to forward this invite from our Imperial College Wikimedia society.

Hi Jonathan,

Further to our conversations, can I ask that you send the below e-mail to the academic mailing list/anyone else you can think of who might be interested.

The London Wikipedia Academy is a mini-conference aimed at starting a conversation between academics and Wikipedians in London, moving from ethereal opinions to organised, evidence based, informed discussions. There will be a number of exciting speakers all engaging in a vital conversation for modern higher education.

Students, librarians and academics from across London have been invited by the first official student Wikipedia society in the UK, Wikipedians at Imperial College, to meet at their South Kensington campus April 13th 545-8pm.

This unique and original event promises to allow those pro and anti Wikipedia to discuss the key issues around its inevitable use by staff and academics, on every topic that is taught at higher education institutions in the capital.

Please register your interest by adding your name or emailing the address at the bottom of this webpage: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/London_Wikipedia_Academy

We hope to see you there!

Wikipedians at Imperial College
