Wikipedia:Meetup/Christchurch
Wikipedians in Ōtautahi / Christchurch hold informal face to face meetings once a month.
The goal of the meetups is to socialize with other Wikipedians, share knowledge and experience from our lives on-wiki and motivate each other in doing what we are doing. We also share what we are currently working on and what we want to work on in the future. In the core of the group is a few experienced editors who are always happy to help beginners or less experienced users. If you are thinking about contributing to Wikipedia but do not know where to start, come to our meeting and we will provide you all the support that you might need.
Currently, we usually meet up at a cafe in the city centre with free Wi-Fi so that we can have a bite to eat/something to drink while chatting, and can demonstrate and share our editing work. Everybody is welcome. Just put your username down on the page of our current meeting so we know that you are coming.
Many of the attendees are also active in the WikiProject New Zealand Christchurch Taskforce. That taskforce is open to anyone that is interested in contributing to articles related to Christchurch.
