Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who attended the Cape Town meetup and scavenger hunt
today <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Cape_Town/Cape_Town_6>.
I think it went well and I am looking forward to organising another one in
Cape Town.
*Future WLM events in Sept*
On that note I want to announce that we will be having another Wiki Loves
Monuments scavenger hunt in Cape Town CBD on the evening of the 20th
September (Saturday) and another one during the day on the 27th September
in Franschhoek.
I will keep you all posted on the details but I want to have the 20th Sept
scavenger hunt in the V&A Waterfront area of Cape Town. Please RSVP with
be before hand.
I have also attached a list of activities that Heritage Western Cape is
organising during this month. Please feel free to attend any of the events
as I am sure they will present some great opportunities to take some great
pictures of monuments.
I would like to know if anyone else would be interested in organising
something for Wiki Loves Monuments some time this month? It would be nice
to have a few event take place outside of the Western Cape.
*Open Book Festival*
I also want to invite Wikipedians to join us for the Open Book edit-a-thon
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Open_Book_Festival_Edit-a-Thon_2014> that
will be part of the Open Book Festaval. It will be a short 1 hour long
event that will take place on Saturday the 20th September at 8pm.
We will be editing articles on South Africa authors and we have organised a
small group of university students to help with the editing but we need
some more experienced editors as well.
There is a list of 10 authors that we really want to create before or on
the day. I have attached the list of them with a list of references for
anyone that is interested. We will need to create a number of new articles
on South Africa authors and move them to main space during the edit-a-thon.
All the best,
--
