NARWHAL/October 2024

Previous meeting ~ Next meeting

NARWHAL across Wiki North America!

The October meeting is cancelled. Apologies for the very late notice! We'll get serious about November's meeting and make it happen.

A NARWHAL meeting is tentatively planned for Monday, October 21, 2024, at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific.

• NARWHAL = North American Regional Wiki Hub and Lab - It's an informal coalition of North America Wikimedians, mostly organizers, including Mexico, Canada, the U.S. and the Caribbean. It's analogous to WALRUS for the U.S.
