[kwlug-disc] Wikipedians meeting at Linuxcaffe 6 Feb 2011

[Bob Jonkman]

Hi all:  I was just made aware of a new group having their inaugural 
meeting:  The Toronto Wikipedia Meetup!

 From the blurb on the Wikipedia page:


      An Invitation From Sue Gardner

    Gardner

    the organization behind Wikipedia. Sue will be in Toronto from
    February 6-8 for speaking engagement at the Schulich School of
    Business

While the 'Meetup' in the name "Toronto Wikipedia Meetup" is used in the 
generic sense, there IS a meetup.com page for this event:

   http://toronto.technology.knowledgeworkers.org/calendar/16153427

Even if you use meetup.com be sure to add your name to the official 
attendance list on the Wikipedia page.

The Toronto Technology Knowledge Workers have had Wikipedia related 
events before, but I think this may be the start of a dedicated group of 
Toronto Wikipedians.

--Bob.
