Talk:Wikimedia Girl Geek Dinner/Manchester October 2013
Availability
Hi. I'd love to be involved with this but I'm doing a different science-festival event in the evening of 27th. I'll need to prepare for that in the afternoon but can help with this in the morning if necessary. Yaris678 (talk) 09:53, 7 July 2013 (UTC)I may be available for this, but I can't say for sure until we're closer to the time. Shoot me an email if you're looking for people a bit nearer the time. --Deskana (talk) (email) 11:54, 29 July 2013 (UTC)- Happy to help. Bazonka (talk) 20:43, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Wikilounge
An idea that came up at the recent Manchester wikimeet was to have a wikilounge during the Manchester Science Festival. i.e. a place where people can drop in if they have any questions about Wikimedia or want to be shown something. I think this would compliment the training well. We could do it on the weekend after so that if people who have been on the training have any questions when they come round to editing they can drop in. But it wouldn't be limited to people who went to the training.
It's too late to get a mention in the MSF brochure but we could probably get the event mentioned on their website. If it's a success and we want to repeat it, we should be able to get it in the brochure next year.
A suggested location for the Wikilounge was Nexus Art Cafe. The idea would be that the cafe is open as usual but there would be a few Wikimedians in the corner with appropriate atire or something to identify them / attract attention.
