[17-meetings] Interest in joining or co-organising "Queering Wikipedia" meetup on 17th May?

[Željko Blaće]

Dear Vesna and Karla - thank you for your interset in Queering
Wikipedia 2023 Conference.

Please let us know if and how we can support your meetup locally with
hackers, activists and wikimedians.
I am adding Wikimedia NL, IHLIA and Atria also into Cc: as they might
know who could be up for joining...
+ few contacts in Bcc: who might know people that might be interested.
On our team Andre is available still today and early tomorrow, before
we get into the last day rush to the May12 conference opening.

If you decide to meet and make it kind of official please add info here

If you want to get a taste of online event 12+14+17May please register
today individually on

Best wishes
Z. Blace
