Christchurch Wikipedia Meetups
[edit]
Kia ora! For the first half of 2024 I'm the Aotearoa Wikipedian-at-Large, based in Christchurch and funded by a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. As part of the project I'm running regular meetups in Tūranga where local Wikipedians can meet, chat, help each other out and collaborate on projects. I'll also be organising edit-a-thons, wikiblitzes, and training for new editors. The goal is to grow the editor community in Christchurch and convince local institutions that Wikipedia is worth taking seriously.
We're having an initlal coffee in Foundation Cafe on Sunday 18 February to talk about what Christchurch Wikipedians might like to do; come along if you're free, or drop me a line at mike
rove.wiki if you have ideas or suggestions.
- Initial meetup: Sunday 18 February, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga
We'll be holding a Christchurch meetup every 4 weeks, modelled on the successful Wellington monthly meetups that have been a big part of growing the Wikimedia community in Wellington and New Zealand. These will be both a coffee chat and a chance for collaborative work in the library's 4th floor workspace. The first two will be:
- Sunday 17 March, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
- Sunday 14 April, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
You can keep track of upcoming events at the Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large Event page, see monthly reports at This Month In GLAM (e.g. January 2024), and join the monthly Aotearoa online meetup. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk)
