Hello fellow Wikimedians,
*Two special events just before Wikimania aimed at spreading good practice.*
*Governance workshop 7th of August.*
Based on the successful board training workshop held in March this year, we are organising another such workshop, this time coinciding with Wikimania here in London. This workshop will be based on the successful March training workshop, with largely the same material covered. It's intended for people who are (or will shortly be) board members of Chapters or Thematic Organisations. This session is planned for 7 August 2014, i.e. as a pre-meeting to Wikimania.
For more details, including a provisional agenda and registration link, please go to < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Boards_training_workshop_August_2014%3E. Places are strictly limited, on a first come first served basis.
*Train the Trainers - two day course. 4th and 5th of August*
We are also hosting an international version of our successful 'Train the trainers' workshop which we've advertised to you previously. The application deadline for a place there is Sunday 15 June. More information and registration is at < https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/civicrm/event/info?id=68&reset=1%3E. Don't miss out on a place, especially if you have previously indicated an interest in attending but have not yet registered.
Hope to see many of you in London in August,
Katie
