[Wikimediauk-l] Re: Wikimania 2022 UK Community Festival - Registration Open
Hi Deryck and all, A couple of updates: - There is a page here: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/In-person_events It is still sparse in detail as I'm just pulling together the training timetables & lightning talks. These will be added to the zoom event and page as soon as possible with links for signing up to sessions where needed. - WSC highlighted to me the registration asked for name(s) as a requirement, this has now been amended to ensure anyone wanting to register with just their username is able to do so - apologies. I'll confirm to you all once the additional details are online.

Dear all I am sharing this information, it is still being developed/ refined and welcome your thoughts, feedback and offers to host events! During Wikimania 2021 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2021> we are looking to facilitate in-person meet ups, based on Wiknics <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic>.

We are in the process of confirming a couple of events, with an open invitation to you to host and arrange a Wiknic across the 5 days of Wikimania 2021 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2021>. To support and facilitate Wiknics, Wikimedia UK will deliver: - Hosting guidance - Promotional material templates - Event souvenirs - Grants for refreshments.
