Wikipedia:Meetup/Dogwood Crossing

Wikimedia Australia and the State Library of Queensland organised a regional WikiAcademy on June 20 in Miles, Queensland (Dogwood Crossing).

There will be 17 attendees from regional GLAMs and historical societies, two attendees from State Library of Queensland, and the Wikipedians listed below.

Each GLAM attendee bought text for a new article to be created during the workshop.

Transport, venue, wifi & catering was provided. The computers are already allocated, so Wikipedians should bring their own laptop if they have one.

If you see a problem with Wikipedia content in this area, please don't fix it. Rather, describe it on /Editing session so it can be fixed on the day.
