Hello everyone,
Wikimania 2022 <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania>, the annual
international Wikipedia conference, is almost a month away now and will be
taking place on 11 - 14 August.
Although the main Wikimania event this year will be held entirely digitally
the event organisers are encouraging the hosting of very local
mini-Wikimania events around the world during the conference. This will
allow participants to both attend the international Wikimania event
digitally whilst also meeting with people face-to-face in their area.
Wikimedia South Africa will be hosting a mini-Wikimania in Cape Town and
Johannesburg.
If you are interested in joining us at either the Cape Town or Johannesburg
event then please let us know by filling out this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqQ-EFEfoYnzLYWjtrHkgoCQcecM5-rxu…
Catering will be provided and a few local events are being prepared. This
will be a great opportunity to meet other members of the Wiki community so
please feel free to join us and share with others that you feel might also
be interested.
More details to follow in the near future. You can also check this page on
our website <http://wikimedia.org.za/wiki/Template:/Wikimania_2022> for
more details in the future.
