UK virtual Wikimedia Meetup

Date and time: Saturday 16 May 2020 — 17:00 onwards

Location: Online

We will use Zoom video chat. Richard Nevell will host and send out invitations via Wikimedia email to any users signed up below in advance. Feel free to join at any time!

Zoom

For anyone who has not used Zoom before, a quick way to get up and running is to try it out at Join a Test Meeting. There are links to Zoom support, or just ping me and I'll do my best to help. --RexxS (talk) 16:39, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Attending

People of all ages and all Wikimedia projects are welcome. Complete newbies also welcome.

Wikimedia UK are making their Zoom account available to help Wikimedians across the country connect with each other, and learning from the evergreen London wikimeet. If it goes well, we might be able to continue this beyond lockdown as many people aren't close to regular meetups.

• I haven't been able to attend nearly as many meetings by teleconference as I could in person before the stay-at-home order, so I might drop by if a meeting is set up, but don't rely on me to be present. Deryck C. 20:08, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
