Hi all,
We will be holding our second Skillshare event at the WMUK office on Tusesday May 7th
from 18:00 to 21:00 or thereabouts. You can find event pages on Meta
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK/Events/AutoWikiBrowser_skillsh… and on
Eventbrite
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wikimedia-uk-skillshare-using-autowikibrowse…
(please sign up on Eventbrite to let us know if you're coming). I've also
published a short blog
https://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2019/04/autowikibrowser-find-out-how-to-autom…
to give background on AWB for those of you who aren't sure what it is. Prolific UK
Wikimedian Rich Farmbrough, who's an AWB afficionado, will be running the session.
One thing I'm slightly concerned about with doing this Skillshare on AWB is that
users who want to use it have to apply for permission to do so on the Permissions page for
AWB
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/AutoWikiBr… .
I've applied for permission 2 days ago but nobody has responded yet to my request. If
we are going to get people to come to the Skillshare who want to learn about AWB, they
obviously need to have permission to use it granted first. I hope that we can fast track
any requests for permission for people who want to come to this event so that we don't
have a situation where people want to attend but can't use AWB because they don't
have permission. Could I request for someone to keep an eye on permissions for this so
that those people who want to come to our event can get their requests granted before the
event? Thanks!
There are lots of other events taking place in the next couple of months, so please
take a look at our Events list
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Events to see if there's
anything that interests you.
All the best,
