Hi all, I've been quite busy organising some upcoming events. We have a presentation and a short editathon this weekend at Mozfest, an editathon at Newspeak House, and two meetups (Wikidata and a skillshare) at the office in London. I hope we will be doing a skillshare at the office each month from now on, so if you have ideas for important Wikimedia skills that should be disseminated more widely in the community, and if you'd like to lead a workshop to teach others about it, please let me know.

For the Sunday of Mozfest, Mozilla have allowed us to offer our community 50% discounted 1 day tickets if you would like to attend that day of the conference. The discount code can be found here.
