Brixton Wikimedia Meetup Number 6
[edit]6pm-8pm Monday 27th January 2025
Note the change of day to Monday from 2025!
Brixton Library, Brixton Oval, Brixton, London SW2 1JQ
This was the sixth monthly meetup at Brixton Library led by the librarians with Wikimedia editing experience. It was open to all editors established, slightly confident and even the very new.
Location
[edit]
Brixton Library is on Windrush Square, in central Brixton, 2 minutes walk from Brixton tube station (Victoria line), Brixton mainline train line and also served by many buses.
We will meet on the ground floor of the library, near computers 5-8 and very close to the graphic novels.
How it works
[edit]If you've never been to a Wikimedia Meetup before, it's just a very friendly, casual get-together where we can talk about our shared hobby. If you're a total newcomer to the wiki world, or just curious, you're welcome to come and talk to experienced wiki contributors.
What to bring
[edit]You can bring your own laptop if you wish but we also will have library computers.
Future meetups
[edit]We will generally have a Wikipedia meetup at the library on the last Monday of the month. February 2025's event will be a LGBTQ+ History Month special.
