Irish language Wikipedia meetups at Wikimania
by Rebecca O'Neill 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

Dear Wikimedia Ireland subscribers, As you know from my previous emails, I will be attending and volunteering at Wikimania next month. I've been in contact with some of the organisers and staff in the UK and they asked me to pass on details of some of the meetups that are happening during the event. The main one that might be of interest is the Celtic Languages Meetup <https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Languages_Meetup>, as Irish is a smaller language on Wikipedia you may also be interested in the Smaller Languages Meetup <https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smaller_Languages_Meetup>. Both may have some over overlap in the attendees but should address different issues, problems or inspiration! Kind Regards, Rebecca Síntiúsóirí Wikimedia Éireann a cháirde, Mar is eol duit ó mo ríomhphost roimhe seo, beidh mé ag freastal ar agus a obair dheonach ag Wikimania an mhí seo chugainn. Tá mé i dteagmháil le roinnt de na lucht eagraithe agus an fhoireann sa Ríocht Aontaithe agus d'iarr siad dom chun pas a fháil ar mionsonraí de roinnt de na cruinnithe a atá ag tarlú le linn na hócáide. Is é an ceann is mó a d'fhéadfadh a bheith inspéise Bhrú na dTeangacha Ceilteacha <https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Languages_Meetup>, mar í an Ghaeilge teanga atá níos lú ar Wikipedia Is féidir go mbeadh suim agat i Bhrú na dTeangacha Níos Lú <https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smaller_Languages_Meetup> freisin. Is féidir an dá bhfuil roinnt thar forluí i an lucht freastail ach ba chóir aghaidh a thabhairt ar shaincheisteanna éagsúla, fadhbanna nó inspioráid! Beir bua agus beannacht, Rebecca
