Hi,

The following went out to the FLOSS-UK (UKUUG for old timers) 
announcements list and looks relevant to WYLUG.  I've very lightly 
edited it (reformat, strip trailer and fixed the broken URL quoting).

Replies to Katherine or discussions to the wylug-discuss list, please.

Hi all,

My name is Katherine. I'm from Leeds and all my family live there but I 
currently work in London for a charity called Wikimedia UK - basically 
we're the UK outreach organisation for Wikipedia.

I'm helping organise a meetup in Leeds on the 14th June as a volunteer 
to try an support community building around the UK and so I'm reaching 
out to a few Uni societies and local Hackspaces to let them know. I also 
really wanted to invite FLOSS suporters and members in the Yorkshire 
area - either to attend this event or to let you know they are happening 
and to come to a future one if you can't make this one.

You can see the Facebook event here -

If so it would be awesome if some of you can make it down - we tend to 
talk about stuff going on in the wikimedia movement and a lot of related 
open source, CC license and free culture topics. Its also a good chance 
to find out more about our charity I suppose, because we are a grant 
making organisation and always looking to support project work in line 
with our mission you never know if there is some potenial support for 
things you'd like to realise.

I'm doing this as a volunteer rather than as a member of staff and it's 
pretty informal. It would be great to meet some of you there

Katherine
