New subject: [Wikimedia-l] Nobel Peace Prize announcement and editathon

8 Oct 2014

This looks like an awesome activity, especially doing it globally at some
level, it would be awesome to get a quick blog post up but I imagine it's a
bit late but perhaps at least some SM posts?

Hi, all!

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced this Friday, and in
cooperation with Wikimedia Norge, the Nobel Peace Center
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Center> has invited Wikipedians
from the Norwegian Wikipedia community to an editathon to improve the
article about the winner(s?) as soon as possible. We'll be sitting
practically in the next room from where the announcement is made, updating
relevant articles as fast as we can.

For this to be a global event, I'd like to invite anyone who's interested
to join us in the IRC channel #wikipedia-nobel
<irc://freenode/#wikipedia-nobel>, where we'll be talking and coordinating.
We'll also try to livetweet the event using the hashtag #wikinobel
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/wikinobel>, probably mainly from the account
@WikimediaNorge <https://twitter.com/WikimediaNorge>.

The press conference will be start around 10:30 Norwegian time, which is
*08:30
UTC*, like I said on *Friday, 10th of October*. Please join us, and help
spread this invitation to your community.
