Training of stewards has started for Pride (6 July) and I was
wondering if WMUK will register a list of photographers for passes
again this year? Media info is at
https://prideinlondon.org/media-centre. As there are 580 organizations
and several centers to the event, getting varied coverage in photo and
video on Wikimedia Commons would take several photographers.
I went along to steward training last week, if anyone would like to
volunteer for one of the support roles, you can find out more at
https://prideinlondon.org. The event needs 1,000 stewards, with an
expected viewing public of a million during the day.
Thanks,
Fae

Take part in our Advice Sector Data Expedition
In partnership the Greater London Authority<https://www.london.gov.uk/> and Advice Services Alliance<https://asauk.org.uk/> are hosting an Advice Sector Data Expedition and we’d love for you to join us.
When: Friday 28 June
Where: Tavis House (1 - 6 Tavistock Square, London, England, United Kingdom)
Time: 9:30am-5pm
What to bring: All you’ll need is an open mind and a laptop. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Data expeditions bring together a multi-disciplinary team from Civil Society organisations, Policy makers, data experts and anyone interested, to gain insight on a chosen topic or theme.
This time we are interested in understanding what existing open datasets about and from London’s advice sector can reveal. To get more of an idea about what a Data Expedition involves, read our blog about the Sports Data Expedition<https://www.london.gov.uk/city-hall-blog/active-data-city-halls-sports-data…> we hosted last year.
The Data Expedition is a space to share skills, learn about new datasets, find tools you can take back and use in your day-to-day work and highlight the potential of data through discovering new insights and developing hypothesis.
Sign up here to take part!<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=6j1lMAH7TEuN38GD-J_r-5y…>

attending editing events.
