Matthias, Since you presumably have a better suggestion, go ahead and suggest it. While you are at it, look into a solution for all the air transport for even more frivolous objectives, also the land transport. We could do with a few good workable alternatives for daily commuting. I assume you do not own or use a private motor vehicle, they are generally less efficient than large passenger aircraft. Also, a lot depends on where the trainers start from. Wikimedia is a worldwide movement, they do not all have to come from WMF headquarters, and you appear not to take into consideration the chain reaction effect, once there are people in a region with the skills, they can spread them locally far more efficiently, but somewhere it has to start. Cheers, Peter

How irresponsible. You may didn't get the emergency of global warming mitigation. For the Wikimedia movement, to get organised in a way that lead to drop the flights needed by 5 or 10 time in the next few years would be only taking its fair share in the action. > -----Original Message----- > From: Wikimedia-l [mailto:wikimedia-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf > Of John Lubbock > Sent: 15 October 2018 13:14 > To: Wikimedia Mailing List > Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Monthly skill share idea > > Hi all, after talking to community members at the London meetup yesterday, > I want to suggest that we start running a monthly skillshare after work at > the Wikimedia UK office.
