Hi all,
London WikiWednesdays <https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/London_Wiki_Wednesdays>
are being developed as way that Wikimedia UK can interact more with the
Wikimedia community and our volunteers.
This is a bit experiemntal, and so we have scheduled in teh wednesdays up
until 17th December to see how it goes.
Basically, it's about having a regular weekly opportunity to get together
with low outlay of resources, by using our base at Development House on
Wednesday evenings (6-8pm)
We have tried this out a bit with volunteers recruited to work on
Wikimania. We now want to engage a broader range of Wikimedians based in
London.
Most weeks it will be either in the office, or on occasions when we want to
attract broader members of the public we will use the rooms in the basement.
The aim is to be a bit more focused than the Monthly meet ups (with an
option for socialising after 8pm) and we want volunteers to see it as an
opportunity to get some of their own ideas taken forward.
So please add any ideas you may have to the weeks which currently just say
"General drop-in". e.g. if there is someone who has experience using snuggle
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Snuggle>, that would make a great
topic.
Whilst it is our aim to keep these sessions informal, it is useful to know
whetehr to expect you, so please confirm if you intend to come.
all the best
