  • Draft text for GLAM email.
Kia ora,
Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand is hosting a WikiCon on the weekend of Saturday X - Sunday X. This weekend event is focussing on
  • developing the skills of editors of Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons
  • encouraging the development of a regular meetup for interested editors located in X
  • expanding knowledge about Wikimedia Foundation and its projects (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons etc) and the editing skills required into underrepresented communities – women, Māori, Pacific peoples - and GLAM (Galleries, libraries, archives and museums) organisations.

If you or other staff members in your organisation are interested in connecting with this community group and learning more about the Wikipedia movement in New Zealand, we’d love to see you there. More information about the event - including registration details are available here:
