In case any of you could join, I would be happy to share a meal and wiki time with wikipedians around Pretoria. I will be there from tuesday the 20th till saturday evening the 24th of september. Anthere 19:12, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

See http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-September/028404.html

The reason Anthere and I will in the Pretoria area is for official Wikimedia business concerning the Wikiversity superproject proposal. I will be in the Pretoria area the last week of November (exact dates tba) and would like to maximize the effect of the trip by helping organize a WikiMeet and a WikiJam. The WikiMeet can be a fairly informal meeting at a restaurant.

  • The agenda for the meeting would include me relating some aspects of the Wikiversity idea I have and for the group to generate ideas for me to present in my official meeting. Other items we could talk about is how Wikimedia content could be best used and distributed in southern Africa with particular focus on South Africa.
  • The WikiJam could consist of the group going to a museum, national park, or historical site to take photos and collect reference material and/or conduct interviews we can later use to expand corresponding Wikipedia articles or otherwise improve other Wikimedia content. --mav 00:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested dates:

  • Sorry for the very late response (I realise you're already here), but something else got cancelled; now I can do Thursday night. Since I'm driving from Johannesburg, I might only be able to do 20:00 - 22:00, but would love to meet whoever is available. (Ja, julle ook, mense!) A short note at at my Afrikaans talk page will help to know if you got the message, since I don't monitor EN. --af:Gebruiker:Alias 08:51, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Suggested locations:

  • Anthere, where are you staying? Unless you have own transport, lets meet there and go somewhere very closeby, since there really isn't a lot of time.
