Wiki Meetup: Cape Town 22
by Douglas Scott 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Hello everyone, We will be doing another Cape Town Wiki meetup on the 7th December. We are trying out a new location again so please note the venue change. OpenUp <https://openup.org.za/> has very kindly let us use their downstairs space at the Code Bridge in Newlands <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newlands,_Cape_Town> which is very near to Claremont <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claremont,_Cape_Town> train station and taxi rank. It also has ample free parking in front of the building. Also located nearby is Cavendish Square. Code Bridge is located in the bridge (hence the name) that allows Campground Street to cross both the railway line and Letterstedt Road. This is the same location as the Wikimedia ZA 5-year strategy workshop and AGM happening on the 14th and 15th December respectively. I will send out another email about that now. The parking and building can only be access by the Helmlock Street / Letterstedt Road entrance. Parking is free. See the location on the map to the right. In summary the details are: Date: Saturday the 7 December Time: free to arrive anytime between 10:00 - 14:00 Location: Code Bridge <https://codebridge.org.za/>, 1 Thicket St, Newlands, Cape Town, 7700 As always the meetup is open for everyone to join. So if you or anyone you know as an interest in learning more about free knowledge or just want to talk about it then please join us. For more information please see the event page on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Cape_Town/Cape_Town_22 Cheers, Douglas. -- Douglas Ian Scott 司道格 Skype: douglas0scott South African mobile number: +27 (0)79 515 8727

Wikimedia ZA: Annual General Meeting - 15 December 2019
by Douglas Scott 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Hello everyone, This is to let everyone know that the Wikimedia ZA Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 2019 will be held on *Sunday the 15th December*. It will take place in Cape Town but we will let you know closer to the date of the exact location. The AGM will be preceded by a strategy session on Saturday the 14th December. The strategy session will seek to develop the chapters goals and plan for the next 5 years (2020-25). We have decided to have it the day before the AGM so the plan can be discussed and passed at the AGM the following day. Just like our last AGM we will be making arrangements to ensure that people can join digitally as well as in person. We also aim to allow people to join the strategy session digitally as well. Please let me know you wish to join digitally. Thanks and best regards, Douglas Scott. President Wikimedia ZA -- Douglas Ian Scott 司道格 Skype: douglas0scott South African mobile number: +27 (0)79 515 8727
