Meeting in Bristol
Hi this is Steve Virgin from the Board of Wikimedia UK

I am a fellow Bristolian

We have a Wikimedia Conference in town this weekend

We were getting some of the Bristol Project Wikipedians together at the Watershed on Saturday night for a Wiki Meet at around 6.30pm.

This is a good opportunity to meet people from the national Chapter, other Chapters from around the world and from the Wikimedia Foundation. There is a bar tab to help proceedings and we would be very keen to see you there.

RSVP - let me know if you are able to come and feel free to invite any other local Wikipedians in Bristol

Hi Steve, I've been on a wikibreak so I didn't received your message till today. Was the Conference a success? Will there be another meetup in the near future? Thanks, &#0149;martyx&#0149; tk ct gy 15:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Martyx...Steve V here...It was a success in May and has led to Jimmy Wales coming to Bristol to speak on January 13...we are trying to coalesce around the visit & create a formal group (see page below) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Bristol#Free_Event:_Jimmy_Wales.2C_Founder_of_Wikipedia.2C_Talks_in_Bristol

I'd love you to get involved 82.32.41.7 (talk) 12:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Motto of the Day
Hi there, Martyx! Thought you might be interested in Motto of the Day, a collaborative (and totally voluntary) effort by a group of Wikipedians to create original, inspirational mottos. Have a good motto idea? Share it here, comment on some of the mottos there or just pass this message onto your friends.

HI Martyx
Apologies for taking so long to reply - been busy on the 'paid side' of my life. We really do want to get a regular Bristol 'Meet' off the ground. Your ideas, help, inspiration would be greatly appreciated. I will ask the Board at Wikimedia UK if we can get a small amount of money to get this started if we can get enough people interested. At the first meeting I hope to have some exciting ideas to put to people about projects that we can work on. I don't know enough to make them all happen. I need your skills and those of the others to turn dream into reality. That's why I really really need to get this Meet Up off the ground soon. Steve virgin (talk) 13:29, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Sure.. sounds like a good plan! FYI there is The Bristol Facebook Photography Club who have recently created a photographing event on the 28th July. It may be worth coming along and asking around! &#0149;martyx&#0149; tk ct gy 15:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Only just seen this and the meeting is today - if you pick this up can you let me know where as I am interested Steve virgin (talk) 16:26, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hiya Steve, I'm really sorry I was on WP earlier in the day but missed your message! Only four of us turned up in the end but it was a lovely evening. Is it worth (and are we allowed) to create a Facebook group for a Bristol Wikimeet? Just an idea &#0149;martyx&#0149; tk ct gy 12:05, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
