A wikimeet is a social gathering for Wikimedia enthusiasts. Where we...

• Chat about Wikipedia, Wikimedia and any other topics we fancy.
• Eat lunch and drink some beers (although beer isn't required, nor is lunch)

Manchester Wikimedia Meetup 2018 Number 35

Sunday 14 January 2018 — 13:00 onwards

The Waterhouse, near St Peter's Square, Manchester

Venue: The Waterhouse (Wetherspoons), 67-71 Princess Street, M2 4EG
Coordinates: 53.4792°, -2.2431°
Table 21, in the second room on the right-hand side.

Wikimeets are mainly casual social events. You can expect to meet some very keen Wikipedians, however this is also an open invitation for anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, projects re-using Wikipedia, and other collaborative wiki projects. Also wiki technology, MediaWiki, discussing the business impact of mass collaboration, or articles about Greater Manchester will also be relevant here. Feel free to come along and raise these discussions over a beverage of your choice.

This is a family-friendly pub, so hopefully younger Wikimedians will still feel welcome and safe. Look for a small Wikimedia banner on the table, and we may also have laptops out.

Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Please sign below if you intend to come. If you want a reminder closer to the time, please leave a note after your signature.

    • Ta, RexxS! Mike is young, dynamic, and and one of the 'stars' (hidden pun) of Wikipedia. And at his hight, also flexible - he needs to be to fit in those arirplane seats ;) I'm just a retired teacher with holes in my soles...Kudpung (talk) 03:58, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
