Brixton Wikimedia Meetup Number 17
[edit]Monday 27th July 6pm-8pm
Brixton Library, Brixton Oval, Brixton, London SW2 1JQ
This will be the seventeenth monthly meetup at Brixton Library led by the librarians with Wikimedia editing experience. It is open to all editors established, slightly confident and even the very new.
Location
[edit]
Brixton Library is on Windrush Square, in central Brixton, 2 minutes walk from Brixton tube station (Victoria line), Brixton mainline train line and also served by many buses.
We will meet on the ground floor of the library, near computers 5-8 and very close to the graphic novels.
How it works
[edit]If you've never been to a Wikimedia Meetup before, it's just a very friendly, casual get-together where we can talk about our shared hobby. If you're a total newcomer to the wiki world, or just curious, you're welcome to come and talk to experienced wiki contributors.
Agenda and themes
[edit]
We are working with the Black Cultural Archives' Wikimedia project to help enhance the BCA's representation across Wikimedia. The BCA are our neighbours on Windrush Square - physically bringing GLAM services together in the London Borough of Lambeth. Please brings and resources you may have about the Black Cultural Archives.
