Hi Douglas,

Well done on organising these events! I will try and make it to one or two
this month. You might find some useful stubs for the Open Book Fest on the
ESAACH site we developed a few years back:

http://esaach.org.za/index.php?title=Category:Verbal_Arts

I can put you in touch with the professor who currently runs it if you find
anything you might want to pull into Wikipedia proper.

Cheers,

Grant

 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>gt;.
  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,

 HI Douglas,

 All exciting stuff and well done for organising it all!! Please can you
 copy
 and paste the Heritage Western Cape information or send us all a link as it
 didn't come through to the list (perhaps there is a rule against
 attachments?).

 I hope to make the next meet up. Or the Open Book one. Both sound great.

 Warmest
 Isla

 I think attachments of certain sizes are automatically stripped off.
 Otherwise, it doesn't come through at all. If the list can be put somewhere
 online and the link shared?
