Brixton Wikimedia Meetup Number 2
[edit]6pm-8pm Tuesday 27th August 2024
Brixton Library, Brixton Oval, Brixton, London SW2 1JQ
This is the second 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.
What to bring
[edit]You can bring your own laptop if you wish but we also will have library computers.

Theme
[edit]You can edit anything you like in the session but if you need inspiration some of us will be looking at materials along the themes of:
