Hi all, after talking to community members at the London meetup yesterday, I want to suggest that we start running a monthly skillshare after work at the Wikimedia UK office. It would be good to organise a 12 month programme with skillshares on things like 'getting an article to featured article status', AWB, Wikidata infoboxes, something on commons or photography perhaps.
Would anybody like to suggest other subjects which it would be good to have a workshop on? We need a list of 12 which would have some broad appeal to the community and chapter members.
I would suggest Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, maybe first week of the month. How does that sound to everyone?
Excellent idea. There was an idea to start something similar "what have you learnt recently/Share your exciting new learning (of course Wiki-related)".
Thanks Tito Dutta Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind me over email or phone call.

I like the idea. Once you have worked out how to do it efficiently, maybe the WMF can send out trainers to places where the skills are thin on the ground. Cheers, Peter

Have you checked about similar initiatives from other chapters or user groups? I've heard that Wikimédia France ou Wikimedia Deutschland host similar workshops, both in their offices or inside of local groups. They may have some feedback to share.

Hi all,
Wikimedia Nederland has done something similar last year. We've organized a couple of evenings that were also streamed online. Topics included Commons (photography tips & uploading), Wikidata, copyright, mass-uploading (Pattypan mostly). Feel free to contact me for more details.
Best,
Arne Wossink
Projectleider / Project Manager Wikimedia Nederland

Do you mean burning hundreds of litres of jet fuel for one or a few workshop for an handful of people? How irresponsible. You may didn't get the emergency of global warming mitigation. For the Wikimedia movement, to get organised in a way that lead to drop the flights needed by 5 or 10 time in the next few years would be only taking its fair share in the action.

Matthias, Since you presumably have a better suggestion, go ahead and suggest it. While you are at it, look into a solution for all the air transport for even more frivolous objectives, also the land transport. We could do with a few good workable alternatives for daily commuting. I assume you do not own or use a private motor vehicle, they are generally less efficient than large passenger aircraft. Also, a lot depends on where the trainers start from. Wikimedia is a worldwide movement, they do not all have to come from WMF headquarters, and you appear not to take into consideration the chain reaction effect, once there are people in a region with the skills, they can spread them locally far more efficiently, but somewhere it has to start. Cheers, Peter

I may have some suggestions, anyone can have one, provided the target is met.
While you are at it, look into a solution for all the air transport for even more frivolous objectives, also the land transport. We could do with a few good workable alternatives for daily commuting. I assume you do not own or use a private motor vehicle, they are generally less efficient than large passenger aircraft.
Sure, except that one typically count a trip by hours, and hours in an aircraft consume far more by passenger than the biggest car. The point is not to wait for "workable alternatives" if there is no perfect ones, but as far as transport is concerned, to travel less often, less far, less quickly... or possibly for a longer time.
Also, a lot depends on where the trainers start from. Wikimedia is a worldwide movement, they do not all have to come from WMF headquarters, and you appear not to take into consideration the chain reaction effect,
You told it, we may consider that we are very closed to a chain reaction effect in global warming if nothing changes rapidly.
once there are people in a region with the skills, they can spread them locally far more efficiently, but somewhere it has to start. Cheers, Peter
