Hello everyone,
Wikimedia South Africa is helping out with the hosting of the Right to Research in Africa mini-conference that will be held from 23 to 27 January 2023 in Cape Town and Pretoria. Wikimedians, such as yourself, can join us by RSVPing before 10 December 2022. See the even poster below for more information.
The event will focus on how copyright impacts our rights to research and create content for the public good. This includes how copyright impacts our ability to edit Wikipedia or contribute to Wikimedia Commons in South Africa.
We are also looking for Wikipedia editors who can volunteer to help out with the editathon we will host in Pretoria and Cape Town. As part of the event we will be hosting an editathon for area experts (mostly copyright lawyers) to improve Wikipedia articles relative to their area of expertise. This event is modeled on the Water Sustainability editathon https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_edit-a-thon we hosted during Wikimania 2018 wherein a Wikipedia editor was available to coach one or two area experts to improve content on Wikipedia. Please let me know if you are able to help out or interested in volunteering.
Regards,
Douglas Scott
