The female subgroup!
Roberta Wedge started the discussion by pointing out the big gap of female editors in Wikipedia. Which brought on the discussion of every person's initiative in their own respective field:
- Mira (User:TheTrabiMechanic) is planning on running edit-a-thons at UCL Digifest (running from the 10th and 14th of November).
- Nada (User:NadaAlbuni) at Southampton University is
- Beatrice (User:Ermesa), student at the School of Oriental and African Studies is thinking of starting up a Wikipedia society or becoming a Campus Ambassador to implementing Wikipedia as a teaching tool.
- Raya (User:Raya.sharbain) of University College London is helping one of her professors start up a Wikipedia assignment for the coming term.
Roberta encouraged us to sign up for (Train The Trainers) in Edinburgh.
Roberta also emphasised that if someone were to run a wiki workshop/edit-a-thons/etc, people can request resources from the UK chapter by e-mailing education@wikimedia.org.uk (Toni Sant). This gives people the opportunity to request various things such as but not limited to: funding for food (pizza!), wifi hotspots, loaner laptops, etc.
