Hello everyone,
To celebrate the start of this year's Wiki Loves Monuments in South Africa
<http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/> we will be having a short scavenger hunt
from 9:00am to 10:30am on Sunday the 7th September just before the Cape
Town Meetup
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Cape_Town/Cape_Town_6>. We
will be doing a short scavenger hunt to photograph a couple key monuments
located close to Truth Coffee where we will be having the 6th Cape Town
Wikipedia meetup.
The objective will be to take photographs of:
1. The Castle of Good Hope - SAHRA-ID: 9/2/018/0056
2. Cape Town City Hall - SAHRA-ID: 9/2/018/0115
3. Old Drill Hall, Darling Street (Now the Central Library building) -
SAHRA-ID: 9/2/018/0113
4. 71 Roeland Street (Where the Book Lounge is located) - SAHRA-ID:
9/2/018/0085
5. Tafelberg Dutch Reformed Church, Buitenkant Street - SAHRA-ID:
9/2/018/0102
6. Rust en Vreugd, Buitenkant Street - SAHRA-ID: 9/2/018/0100
All of these locations are within an 8 min walk of the Truth Coffee
Building (which is its self also a great location as a possible proposed
monument).
At the meetup after the scavenger hunt participants will be able to enter
the competition and upload their pictures.
Meetup location: Truth Coffee, 36 Buitenkant St, Cape Town
Start time: 9:00am
End location: Truth Coffee, 36 Buitenkant St, Cape Town
End time: 10:30am
As usual there will be free coffee/hot chocolate at Truth for all who
attend. There are also some great prizes up for grabs this year with first
prize being R10,000 in photographic vouchers from ORMS.
Please let me know if you intend to come and please pass on this invitation
to anyone who you think might be interested in joining.
Cheers,

Hello everyone,
I just want to let you all know that this year's Wikimedia ZA Annual
General Meeting will take place in early November 2014.
We have set a preliminary date of the 1st November 2014 to coincide with
the awards ceremony for this year's Wiki Loves Monuments competition which
will take place in Cape Town.
We have decided to have it later in the year instead of its usual 1st
September date because we will not be having a large launch event for Wiki
Loves Monuments this year. Typically the large events at Wiki Loves
Monuments provide a great opportunity for us to come together.
As usual we will be electing the board of directors as well as discussing
key points of business for 2015 at the AGM. Just like last year we will
allow for people to join us over video chat. Please let me know in advance
if you want to call in instead of joining us in person in Cape Town. We
will let you know about the event location and times closer to the time.
Thanks and best regards,
--

Hello everyone,
With this year's Wiki Loves Monuments only a few days away now it is time
for me to put out a call for local and WikiGnome
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiGnome> volunteers.
Local volunteers can organise events in their town/city such as upload
marathons, mini-Wiki Takes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Your_City> events,
and/or informing local newspapers of the competition. The local volunteer
is free to run events as they want to.
So if you want to organise an event in your part of South Africa then
please let me know so I can put it up on the website
<http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/wiki/Main_Page> and facebook
<https://www.facebook.com/WLMZA>.
I am happy to be doing events in Cape Town again but I will also be doing
some edit-a-thons for the Open Book festival so I am a bit stretched. So
if anyone also wants to organise events in or around Cape Town then please
feel free to do so and let me know.
All the best,
Douglas.
