Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Discussing Creative Commons 4.0

[Info WorldUniversity]

Great, Stephen and Rupert!

I'd like to invite you both (and all Wikidatans in the SF Bay Area) to the
Wikidata 4th birthday party on Wednesday, October 26 from 12:30-1:30 at Red
Door Coffee SF on 111 Minna Street -
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday/Events. Perhaps we
can talk further about some of these CC 4.0 questions there.

I'm also going to bring a birthday cake for everyone.

Friendly Wikidata cheers, Scott

thank you very much, it's about time this happens! It might be an idea to
