(Drawing a humorous analogy between the Western Front and a Wikimania bid is left as an exercise for the reader.) We've still some places left at the editathon - if anyone's interested but hasn't signed up, now would be a great time... http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_War_I/World_War_I_Editathon </pre> Andrew Gray 2012-05-25T10:50:12 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation.uk/8195 <pre> The editathon is the Saturday, the 17th is the Sunday :) But there may have been miscommunication anyway... (largely due to me attempting to be pro-active) stay tuned.

Due to a clash it has been pushed back a week to *June 17th*. Wiki Page: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2014/Planning_meeting_2 The meeting will be at the London office (there is limited scope for participation via skype) &amp; the main focus of the agenda will be London's Wikimania 2014 bid. Please do attend if you are interested - as much participation as possible would be great!
