[Wikimediauk-l] Virtual meetups

Hi all, Just to remind people that we're still holding a virtual "London" wiki meetup on the second Sunday of every month. Of course being virtual means that geography is no constraint, so do join us from wherever you are. This is a purely social affair: come along to chat about what you've been

The virtual meetups we've had so far on Zoom have been pretty successful. There's another one happening on Sunday 14 June (nominally the "London" meetup, but open to all) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/London/155 Peter On Fri, 8 May 2020 at 19:40, geni wrote: > On Fri, 8 May 2020 at
