Updates from Capacity Exchange (CapX)!
[edit]
Hello Jp2593,
My name is Joris Darlington Quarshie, and I am an Outreach Facilitator for the Capacity Exchange (CapX) — a platform for finding and connecting with peers to exchange knowledge and skills on a global level.
CapX is a community-built tool, designed by and for the Wikimedia Movement, to make it easier for Wikimedians across the world to find and connect, collaborate, and exchange skills and knowledge with peers.
If you don't know it yet, I invite you to access capx.toolforge.org and create your user profile with your Wikimedia account. But, if you already have a profile, I invite you to check out the new features and possibilities we just launched. I am sure you will be delighted.
CapX's new version incorporates valuable community feedback gathered over the past months, including the Organization Profile - a feature for Wikimedia affiliates, initiatives, or community groups to create their own CapX presence (see here how to create yours).

The Bikol WikiCon is an extraordinary regional gathering that brings together Bikolanos actively supporting and contributing to open educational resources (OERs) with the vibrant Wikimedia communities in the Philippines. Next year, Bikol Wikipedia will be turning 20 years old. Reaching 2 decades is a strong milestone therefore it is also the right moment to ask harder questions about sustainability, quality and direction. The conference will serve as a venue for the participants to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and collaboration results, and to discuss the challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. We can’t wait to see you at the event!

- Meetup: A group of people with common interests informally meets to discuss different topics. The total time for a meetup is not pre-determined and depends on the proposer’s preferences.
