Hello, here are the latest news from Wikimedia Norge!

Wikigrants and news archive access: December 1^st is the deadline to apply for wikigrants from Wikimedia Norge. If you have an idea for a wiki-related project you'd like to do, but need some extra money to do it, you should apply! Anything goes as long as the end result benefits the Wikimedia projects.; On the same date we will be dispersing access to the news archive Retriever for the period until May 20^th, 2023. In Retriever, you can search the archives of 2,916 Norwegian news sources. Sign up on the list on Wikipedia if you're interested.

Committee being put together: How should we increase the number of members of Wikimedia Norge? We hope you would like to give us some input.; The 2022 general assembly decided that a committee should be put together to find out how to incentivize members to join. The board of Wikimedia Norge has written a mandate to give the committee a good frame of reference. The committee will consist of members and other Wikimedians, as well as a representative from the administration, and will deliver a report to the board on January 15^th, 2023.; We encourage anyone who wants more info or wants to join the committee to get in touch with board chair Marie Nicolaisen by November 27^th on marie@wikimedia.no.

Start-up help: Do you know someone who wants to contribute to Wikipedia, but doesn't know where to start?; On Wikipedia they can get a mentor, and there is a forum for new users. Now they can also meet an experienced Wikipedian "face-to-face" in an online event to get help live. Wikimedia Norge's start-up help will happen on the first Wednesday of every month. The first opportunity is December 7^th, 19–20 CET.

This is happening before Christmas: Wiki meet-up: Tuesday November 22^nd, 17:00–22:00 at Deichman Bjørvika, Oslo. Active contributors will meet up for a workshop and exchange of experiences.
