Hello everyone,
I write to let you know that Daria Cybulska, Wikimedia UK's Events Organiser, presented at the Women of the World Festival in London this past weekend. She spoke about why it's important that women engage with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
She did an excellent job and has written a blog post about the event. It can be seen at http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/03/wikimedia-uk-and-the-women-of-the-world... I'd also suggest taking a look at her Prezi herehttp://prezi.com/6g2e5wkwfsbh/understanding-wikipedia-what-is-it-and-how-to-join-in/
Thanks and regards,
Stevie
That's a super piece of outreach and Daria deserves all our congratulations for the success of the work she's doing.
It's worth pointing out that the Southbank Centre also has a short article on Daria in their "Artists and Speakers" section at http://wow.southbankcentre.co.uk/artists/daria-cybulska/ - I reckon that a few more of those and she'll be notable enough for her own Wikipedia article!
