Wikimania 2014 is being held in London and we're making sure that the opportunity this brings is not wasted. Wikimania 2014 is not just about what happens at the main festival in August - throughout June and July there is a series of events in the run up to the main festival:
- 7–8 June : Free Culture Weekend
- 21–22 June : Future of Education Workshop
- 5–6 July : Open Data Weekend
- 19–20 July : Open Scholarship Weekend
We shall also be running an event for Wikimedian volunteers on Saturday 12th July. This will be a great opportunity for you to participate in shaping Wikimedia UK's contribution to Wikimania 2014 and help make it a true community event. There are also plenty of opportunities for Wikimedians to get involved organising fringe events just before and after the main Wikimania Festival.
Please get in touch with Katie if you would like more information about volunteering, and Wikimedia UK's Wikimania Support Team at the office if you would like us to help with Fringe events.
Chance to checkout the Barbican
If you want a chance to have a look round the Barbican, a group of Wikimedians will be taking an informal tour on Sunday 8th June, before taking a short stroll down to the London Meet Up: check out more details here.
