Hi everyone!
Are you coming to Cape Town this South African winter? And can you spare a couple of hours at the conference? Then please join us as a trainer at the Learn to Edit desk!
The Learn to Edit desk will (most probably) located near the registration desk and will be open from Friday till Sunday, all day. Aim is to help people taking their first steps on the wiki: getting an account, exploring the different pages and doing an edit or an upload. We'll have tables with laptops, for people that did not bring their own, or maybe want to edit on a mobile device in the future.
For this I'm in need of Wikimedians who would like to share their knowledge, and it would be nice if you...:
- Have good knowledge of the English language
- Maybe even another language? French, Afrikaans, ...?
- Know how to edit Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons
- Know how to explain things in a simple and patient way
- Have approximately one and a half/two hours to spare each day.
I'll make us volunteers a scheduale and will take your wishes into account if you want to attend certain talks or meetups and are not available. Even if you cannot make it every day, please let me know if you want to help, I'm sure I can work around that.
Send me an email!
Kind regards, Vriendelijke groet,
Ciell
