Hello everyone,
Wikimania 2022 https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania, the annual international Wikipedia conference, is in two now and it 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.
Cape Town Venue: Intaka Law Tech Lab Kramer Law School Middle Campus 1 Stanley Road Rondebosch Friday 12 August: 18:00 to 20:00 pm Saturday 13 August 09:00 am to 22:00 pm Sunday 14 August 09:00 am to 21:00 pm
Johannesburg: Constitutional Hill 11 Kotze Road Braamfontein Johannesburg 13 August 09:00 to 17:00 pm
