Hello UK Wikimedia community,
There are two sets of in-person Wikimedia events in Greater London over
this Wikimania weekend - today and tomorrow at Newspeak House, and Sunday
at Penderel's Oak.
I've collated the information into one page on the Wikimania wiki for
convenience and wiki-linking purposes:
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2022:In-person_events/London
Hope to see you sometime (if not already)
With much wiki-love,
Deryck
Hi folks
Our Wikimania sessions kick off tomorrow at 2pm, and on Saturday from
10:30am. There's a really great list of sessions on the Zoom events
<https://events.zoom.us/e/view/SnEL_wj-SECEZbx00N6yiw>, for which you can
sign up to attend *in person and online*.
There's two WikiData sessions for both beginners and experts, an editathon
for South Asian Heritage Month, short Lightning Talks from our community,
and much more :)
We'll be at Newspeak House in Bethnal Green: 133 - 135 Bethnal Green Road,
London, E2 7DG. Information on how to get to Newspeak House can be found on
the ‘Visit’ page here: https://newspeak.house
We will have refreshments, wifi, an outside terrace to keep cool and some
fizz for celebrations.
Hope to see you there.
Best
Katie

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
