In reply to John these are workshops and so the numbers are deliberately limited. 10 is about right.
The provisional notice was a few months ago but we had to agree the Train the Trainers contracts in an open tender and this took a while. The dates of the next ones will be public soon, October and, we hope Early December. If we can get thirty people trained and accredited that would be an amazing start. As to the clash with the London Wikimeet, four observations: 1. Sorry if we took people away. 2. The Train the Trainers programme is intended to create the momentum to train the next generation of editors and one of the trainer's jobs will be to support newbies and lead them into community events. 3. These clashes will happen more and more as we do more and more activities. Something to celebrate really. 4. We are committed to holding activities all over the country So if you think you are someone who could be a trainer email Daria in the office and she will get you on the list. You don;t need a million edits - just a good understanding of page editing and the enthusiasm to share your passion with fellow human beings some of whol may be complete newbies.
