Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Academic training workshops

Hi all, As many of you know, as part of my work at the British Library I'll be organizing a series of training workshops on behalf of AHRC for postgraduates and academics, at various institutions around the country. These are mostly half-day sessions, giving training to specialists who are interested in contributing to Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects, or learning more about engaging and collaborating with the Wikimedia community - I'm modelling them on the past sessions run by WMUK with, eg, the Institute of Physics. http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Physics_Workshop If they involve more than a small number of people, I'm quite keen to have someone else around, since it helps a lot if there's two or three people available to answer questions, demonstrate things, etc. If you'd be interested in coming along to one of these sessions and helping show people the ropes, please let me know and I'll keep you informed of future dates & locations - I can cover reasonable travel expenses where needed... Alternatively, if you have contacts who you think might be interested in hosting one at their institution, I'd be really interested to hear about it - part of the trick with setting these up is finding the right person to approach!
