Hi all,
My last two big events as WiR at the Royal Society are:
a) Next Saturday morning 10.30-1.30 there is - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Royal_Society/Neuroscien... (Eventbrite link there) , which despite efforts to avoid a clash, has ended up clashing with the Wikimania prequel Open culture Barbican event, AND a WMUK board meeting. A small event, but classy - no training, just neurologists and Wikipedians editing together.
b) The following Friday 13th, http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/royal-society-research-fellows-wikipedia-train... - for the early/mid career Research Fellows, not actual FRSs: "Those of you at this year's Induction Day in February will have seen John Byrne, the Royal Society's Wikimedian-in-Residence, talking about the training he planned to offer, with various options. In the light of the feedback received we are offering this session that will combine the options, as this was most popular. There will a hands-on introduction to basic Wikipedia editing, so please bring a laptop (a few will be available if this is impossible). There will also be suggestions on how to maintain contact with the Wikipedia community in your field, and give them some access to your expertise, all at a low time-cost to you. Helpers will be on hand during the editing training, and places are limited, so please apply soon." Actually there is a possibility this date may change.
Email me re either, or apply on Eventbrite for the 7th (not Eventbrite for the 13th please),
Thanks,
John
