Other events
I also want to remind everyone of two upcoming events other than the AGM. The first is
this year's Wiki Indaba
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2022> that will be happening
on 4 - 6 November 2022 in Kigali, Rwanda. If you would like to give a presentation/host a
discussion at WikiInaba you can apply here
<https://pretalx.com/wiki-indaba-conference-2022/> . A limited number of
scholarships to attend Wiki Inaba are available and can be applied for at the link here
<https://tinyurl.com/yfvepbr8> .
The second is a reminder that the Wiki community digital meetup for this month
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/South_Africa/South_Africa_22> will
be happening on Saturday the 24th September 2022 (10:00 to 12:00) on discord. Topics I
would love to discuss with everyone attending would be when we should start hosting
face-to-face meetups again, the global Wiki Movement Strategy
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy> , as well as any preliminary
discussions people want to have about the upcoming AGM.
