Hoi,
I am really pleased that this is going to happen. We can do with much more
information about Australia and Indonesia in Wikidata.
Thanks,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikidata training in Oceania, SE Asia (Was: Quality issues)

[Gnangarra]

This is a followup considered from the now defunct WMAU conference in QLD
with that falling through the committee decided to continue this part as it
was one of the important features that needs to be better understood
locally.

Details will be sent out after the silly season in short it will start in
mid febraury in Melbourne coinciding with a libraries conference there,
from there upto sydney, then onto canberra to coincide with a conference
there then across to Perth from Perth the person will be heading home via
Dubai.  There is a mini conference planned in Perth that WMID would be
welcome to send  people to with a workshop focusing on experienced
contributors to other projects on the next day as well.

Full details will be  published in Early January

Ah, that sounds interesting.  Could you provide more information about
that please?  I havent seen this mentioned on the public mailing lists
before.

Wikimedia Indonesia is doing a Wikidata project next year and lapping
up all the training they can get.  I am sure they would be interested
in having a trainer stop over in Jakarta on the way to or from
Australia.
