Wikidata seminar and/or workshop
Organised by Wikimedia Australia, Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing) is delivering two "Introduction to Wikidata and GLAM" events on Tuesday 11 September 2018 at the State Library of Queensland at South Bank, South Brisbane. These are free events but you need to book as spaces are limited by the room capacity (particularly so for the workshop).

- 11am hands-on workshop (bring your laptop) - details and booking
Any questions? Please ask me. Kerry (talk) 07:50, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
