Hello everyone,
Wikimedia ZA members have been invited to this seminar on copyright in
South Africa. It will take place at the University of Cape Town on the 8th
August.
As you know Wikimedia ZA cares greatly about the topic of copyright and how
if affects people's ability to write and contribute to Wikipedia. Would be
great to see some Wikipedians there.
Regards,
Douglas

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you all know that Wikimedia ZA will be hosting another
Wikipedia Meetup on the first Sunday of August. As you know we want to
make this a regular monthly thing. As always the chapter has some budget
for free tea and coffee and a few bites to eat.
This event is open to anyone interested in Wiki projects or Wikipedia. So
if you want to hang informally to talk about Wiki related things then
please join us.
Here are the details:
- *Date*: Sunday, 4th August 2019
- *Time*: can join anytime between 10:00-14:00
- *Location*: Truth Coffee, 36 Buitenkant St, Cape Town 8000, South
Africa
You can also follow this event on the event page on Wikipedia here:

Cheers,
Douglas.
Guidance from the collective please:
would this be suitable for distribution on a list of computer science
students?
Perhaps later if numbers don't come in?
Holding back for now.
-M.

Over the next month students around the world will be getting together to
