Dear Wikimedia Ireland subscribers,
As mentioned in the last mail there is a new wave of activity happening spurred on from the first Editathon in Ireland. It was fantastic timing given that Wikimania http://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, the official annual event for the Wikimedia Movement, is in London this year.
It takes place from the 6-10 August, but there are many Fringe https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fringe events taking place from June onwards.
If you are planning on going to Wikimania, or even thinking about it, please join the conversation started on the Discussion https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Ireland_Community page. You can add your name to the list so we can get the ball rolling. If there are a few of us going, the aim would be to organise to meet up before or during the week in August. It will be a fantastic opportunity to get to know some fellow Irish Wikipedians.
You can also sign up to be a volunteer https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteers for the event itself if you are interested in being more involved (I've signed up as one already!).
Hope to talk to you soon, Rebecca (User:Smirkybec)
