;Second session


==Background==
There will be an emphasis on practical applications and projects involving Wikidata, with a break around 3 pm.


In August 2015 a volunteer got in touch to ask about Wikidata training. There had been a previous session in the second half of 2014 that was popular and there will be many volunteers who weren't able to attend. If there is enough interest then a second session in the same vein can easily be arranged at Wikimedia UK's office. Charles Matthews has kindly offered to lead a session and hopefully other volunteers can be encouraged to deliver something, too.
*Possible topics include queries, front ends, applications. Other topics may be covered, depending on audience wishes.  


If you are interested in attending please do add your name to the list below. If you are interested in delivering a session, talk or workshop of any kind, please do add your name to the second list and outline what you would like to do.
The assumption will be that those who attend have a Wikipedia account, and a basic familiarity with Wikipedia editing.  


When enough people are interested (eight or so?) we can begin looking at dates and other logistical details.
I shall be leading the session, with Andrew Gray. If you have already expressed an interest, you need to sign up below to confirm that you are coming: there is not unlimited space in the venue.
