We bring members of the ScotWiki community together in various meetings throughout the year.  For organisations who engage with Wikimedia, or who are interested in doing so, we hold semi-regular ScotWiki Partners meetings, which aim to share knowledge and deepen connections across the network.  If you're interested in attending our next meeting please contact Sara Thomas.

For individual editors, volunteers and others involved in the community, we hold semi-regular social meetups at different places around the country. 

We are ''very'' interested in hearing from anyone who would like to host a partners meeting, meetup or training session in their local area.  Please email scotland@wikimedia.org.uk and let's chat. 

The ScotWiki mailing list remains the place to hear about news and events relevant to Scotland.  It's a fairly low-traffic mailing at time of writing (September 2018). You can [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSctpnDjO_PHZeOTrA0yjtVLqE4oDfjLtYhWzQVTwk712BSJJQ/viewform?usp=sf_link sign up to the mailing list here.]  We promise no spam, no selling your data to third parties.
