Hi all
Hope you had a good break, and happy new year to you all!
As many of you will know, Wikipedia turns twenty on the 15th January. We're
having a party at 5-6pm on Zoom, with a talk from Jimmy Wales and short
lightning talks from the UK community. Sign up here
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wikipedias-20th-birthday-party-tickets-132918742537>
if you'd like to join us.
We'll also be running a #WikiLovesCakes GBBO-style competition on
social media over the birthday weekend from the 15th - 18th January. If
you'd like to join our judging panel (no tasting required!) please let
me know. Photos of cakes will be judged on:
1) Wikipedia story or connection
2) How the panel think they will taste
3) Appearance / decoration
The Wikimedia Foundation has asked us to pass on a message about birthday
wishes from the UK: *We’d love to have Wikimedia UK and volunteers in the
UK participate in a birthday montage video that we will be presenting
during Wikipedia’s birthday party on January 15th. All you need to do is
record a short clip (under 30 seconds) via your phone or computer, saying
Happy Birthday or sharing birthday wishes to Wikipedia in your preferred
language. You can Click here <https://www.tribute.co/wikipedia/> to record
a video to be a part of Wikipedia’s birthday montage. Deadline to submit a
video is January 11th.*
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best
Katie
