Development House - Wikimedia UK's offices

Wikimedia UK is located in 'Development House' - a building that we are sharing with ca. 20 other charities. In May we delivered a short presentation for them talking about Wikimedia UK and Wikipedia, and as a result there was a lot of interest in learning to edit Wikipedia. This would be particularly interesting as the charities in the building all tackle very different issues, so their interests will be quite varied. We could help our co-residents by teaching them to create/improve articles about their charities, or improve the content about the issues they focus on.

Wikimedia UK has delivered a similar event a few months ago - one of the charities that attended was Pragya. It now has a brilliant Wikipedia article with great photos, which you can see here.

Information for anyone interested in Wikipedia training

• The event is informal drop-in style, with volunteers available from 11am - 4pm. You can come for 20 minutes to hear a bit about Wikipedia and how you can contribute, or stay for an hour or two to create the content about your charity
• To let us know that you would like to attend, please email Daria, sign up on the booking page, or drop your name down below (include the name of the charity too)

Information for the trainers

• When you sign up below please indicate whether you are available for the whole day, or just a part of it

• There will be 3-4 of laptops available

Trainers

please mention if you are available to attend for the whole day

• Gordo (talk) a chunk of the session (maybe 12 noon to 3pm) (might not be able to attend)
• Daria Cybulska (WMUK) (talk) When more support needed
• Richard Symonds
• Chris Morris for the whole day (although let me have a lunch break!)
• Filceolaire (talk) for the whole day. I have also done some editting for Appropedia.org which could also interest some of them as a place for development stuff that doesn't fit on Wikipedia. (or would you rather I just stuck to WMF projects?)
