[Wikimediauk-l] Monthly skill share in London

Discussion:

Dear John,

I'd be happy to see the chapter bring back these sort of events. Thinking
of a few lessons from when we last did them, coffee, soft drinks and some
sort of snacks are important - remember that many attendees will be coming
straight from work. We also used to designate a pub for the end of the
evening.

You need to allow for a variable start time, some people will be working
nearby, others may finish later and be an hour away - starting off with
something informal such as a wiki surgery would give time for more people
to get there. You don't want to give some people an hour to kill after work
or exclude others because they can't slope off work early.

Don't try to get 12 topics fixed before you start, topics will emerge as
you talk to the attendees and potential attendees. But the ones we
discussed at the London Meetup, FA writing, AWB workshop etc would give a
good diverse start. Geni's talk on "photography in museums" is one I would
happily hear again.

Last Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday would give some distance from the
existing London meetup on the second Sunday, and in the months with 5 weeks
give you an advantage when you are competing against events that use the
1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th week of the month.

Hi all, after talking to community members at the London meetup yesterday,
I want to suggest that we start running a monthly skillshare after work at
the Wikimedia UK office. It would be good to organise a 12 month programme
with skillshares on things like 'getting an article to featured article
status', AWB, Wikidata infoboxes, something on commons or photography
perhaps.
Would anybody like to suggest other subjects which it would be good to have
a workshop on? We need a list of 12 which would have some broad appeal to
the community and chapter members.
I would suggest Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, maybe first week of the
month. How does that sound to everyone?

Excellent idea. There was an idea to start something similar "what have you
learnt recently/Share your exciting new learning (of course Wiki-related)".

Thanks Jonathan.

Should we then say that we will do the first workshop on FA writing in
November? November has 5 weeks, so perhaps we should do it in the fourth
week of the month? What about Tuesday 20th? Or Wednesday 21st?

We couldn't do one in December if we are doing it in the last week of the
month, so should we skip December and do the one after in January?

I would appreciate some more feedback from people about whether they would
turn up, and what subjects they would like to see covered.

Hey John (and everyone else),

I'd love to see WikiProject AIDS get a bit more love.

I've been putting together a to-do list with source suggestions. Fancy a
chat over coffee sometime to see what and when might be good?

Or is that a bit too much editathon shaped for what you're looking for?

What would be the skill to be shared around the community with that?
There's lots of WikiProjects I'd like to do editathons about. I wonder if
WikiProject AIDS would be something where we could get a partner
organisation to help us improve pages in a separate editathon?

I like the idea. Once you have worked out how to do it efficiently,
maybe the WMF can send out trainers to places where the skills are thin on
the ground.

Yeah, I think you're right.

And this is the second year that I've not got round to asking the Wellcome
people if they fancy a World AIDS Day editathon (it's 1 December each year).

How about we chat about setting *that* up over coffee sometime :)

Don't try to get 12 topics fixed before you start, topics will emerge as you talk to the attendees and potential attendees. But the ones we discussed at the London Meetup, FA writing, AWB workshop etc would give a good diverse start. Geni's talk on "photography in museums" is one I would happily hear again.
Last Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday would give some distance from the existing London meetup on the second Sunday, and in the months with 5 weeks give you an advantage when you are competing against events that use the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th week of the month.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Monthly skill share idea
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Hi all, after talking to community members at the London meetup yesterday,
I want to suggest that we start running a monthly skillshare after work at
the Wikimedia UK office. It would be good to organise a 12 month programme
with skillshares on things like 'getting an article to featured article
status', AWB, Wikidata infoboxes, something on commons or photography
perhaps.
Would anybody like to suggest other subjects which it would be good to have
a workshop on? We need a list of 12 which would have some broad appeal to
the community and chapter members.
I would suggest Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, maybe first week of the
month. How does that sound to everyone?

Excellent idea. There was an idea to start something similar "what have you
learnt recently/Share your exciting new learning (of course Wiki-related)".

Ok, y'all have formal permission to bully and guilt me into actually making
sure I (help) arrange it for WAD 2019 ð

I'll chat with Lane and see if we can make it multinational too ð

(I only wish my Welsh were up to doing it bilingually. I am absolutely not
yet that fluent.)

Post by Robin Owain
That would be really good.
Yeah, I think you're right.
And this is the second year that I've not got round to asking the Wellcome
people if they fancy a World AIDS Day editathon (it's 1 December each year).
How about we chat about setting *that* up over coffee sometime :)
What would be the skill to be shared around the community with that?
There's lots of WikiProjects I'd like to do editathons about. I wonder if
WikiProject AIDS would be something where we could get a partner
organisation to help us improve pages in a separate editathon?

Hey John (and everyone else),
I'd love to see WikiProject AIDS get a bit more love.
I've been putting together a to-do list with source suggestions. Fancy a
chat over coffee sometime to see what and when might be good?
Or is that a bit too much editathon shaped for what you're looking for?
Owen
Thanks Jonathan.
Should we then say that we will do the first workshop on FA writing in
November? November has 5 weeks, so perhaps we should do it in the fourth
week of the month? What about Tuesday 20th? Or Wednesday 21st?
We couldn't do one in December if we are doing it in the last week of the
month, so should we skip December and do the one after in January?
I would appreciate some more feedback from people about whether they would
turn up, and what subjects they would like to see covered.

Dear John,
I'd be happy to see the chapter bring back these sort of events. Thinking
of a few lessons from when we last did them, coffee, soft drinks and some
sort of snacks are important - remember that many attendees will be coming
straight from work. We also used to designate a pub for the end of the
evening.
You need to allow for a variable start time, some people will be working
nearby, others may finish later and be an hour away - starting off with
something informal such as a wiki surgery would give time for more people
to get there. You don't want to give some people an hour to kill after work
or exclude others because they can't slope off work early.
Don't try to get 12 topics fixed before you start, topics will emerge as
you talk to the attendees and potential attendees. But the ones we
discussed at the London Meetup, FA writing, AWB workshop etc would give a
good diverse start. Geni's talk on "photography in museums" is one I would
happily hear again.
Last Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday would give some distance from the
existing London meetup on the second Sunday, and in the months with 5 weeks

1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th week of the month.

I like the idea. Once you have worked out how to do it efficiently, maybe
the WMF can send out trainers to places where the skills are thin on the
