[Liverpool] GNU/Linux, software freedom, Open Source - open workshop & wiki workshop!

[Heather Corcoran]

Yay, nice one! Yea it will be a weekly techie kind of after work meet up 
- a quick drink and a different interesting talk every week! :)
*
*Also, unrelated but we're doing this week a really cool wiki project 
that will overlap with this on Wednesday but also tonight and tomorrow 
night... *

Liverpool Wiki Workshop
With Steve Lambert, Eyebeam Senior Fellow*

Monday 16 March 6-9pm
Tuesday 17 March 6-9pm
Wednesday 18 March 6-9pm

A "wiki" is an interlinked set of Web pages written by the people who 
use it: the beauty of a wiki is that anyone can easily edit and 
contribute. The Liverpool Wiki will be a comprehensive guide for 
residents and visitors to share all things Liverpool - from events, to 
parks, to where to grab a snack after midnight. In this workshop we'll 
be launching the wiki, taking field trips, collecting information and 
putting it all on the site. Any and all skill levels are welcome - we 
need writers, photographers, know it alls, visitors, residents, amateur 
tour guides - we need you!

Check out the wiki in progress at:

Cheers!
