Hellos Fellow Wamuggers,
Final Meeting
I was at the hairdressers the other day chatting away to the young lady doing
my hair & the topic of Wikipedia came up. She casually mentioned “Of course you
can’t trust Wikipedia, anyone can change anything.”
It was at that point I started to tell her some of the facts behind Wikipedia,
having been privileged to hear a talk given by Gideon Digby earlier this year.
If you have any bias for or against, or just want to hear the behind the scenes
information on this cultural phenomena come to our meeting this Tuesday.
Not only will Gideon be talking about Wikipedia but will also talk about the
WIkimedia Foundation, the non-profit and charitable organisation that operates
many wikis. of which Wikipedia is just one.
So, set your recorders and/or computers to tape your favourite television
programmes, leave the washing up to someone else and head on down to the last
WAMUG meeting for this year. Details on our website.
End of Year Get Together
In the past, the WAMUG Committee has hosted a barbecue for members on a Sunday
in December. At our last meeting we decided NOT to host the event this year as
over the past few years the numbers have drastically declined, for a wide
variety of reasons.
If we have misjudged the situation, after all we are only human,(to date none
of us has been bitten by a genetically modified spider, or in fact any
genetically modified species) please email the list and if there is sufficient
demand we can organise something.
Cheers, everyone and I hope to see you at this Tuesday’s meeting
Regards,
Maureen Smith
