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:

We hope to see you there!
