Wikimania Katowice
[edit]
Unlike last Wikimania, there was only few sessions related to Wikisource.
there has been a meetup where we talked about various subjects, including the next Wikisource conference and future of this User Group and some problem (what is acceptable on Wikisources ? can we split the Armenian Wikisource ? etc.)
Other meetings
[edit]
- February: Nicolas (with the help of Nanour and others) did 4 sessions of training of trainers for the West African Réseau @pprendre. It was especially important as Africa is a major blind spot and knowledge gap for Wikisource. See also Diff post
