Next Auckland meetup
[edit]Discussion of continued use of Samoa House as meeting location for Auckland meetups, along with changing meeting time to 11AM-1PM and providing kai for editors. A funding request has been instigated by Dactylantha through WANZ. There was also discussion about the name of the meetup group, with consensus arriving at Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Meetup being a good option to avoid confusion and follow naming conventions set by Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand's chapter naming precedent.
NEXT MEETING: 30 November 2024, 11AM-1PM, Samoa House Library
