User:Rockpocket/Lunchipedia

What is Lunchipedia? We are a bunch of people from the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus with an interest in improving content in Wikimedia projects, notably on campus-related topics.

We meet on Tuesdays at lunchtime (12-1pm), usually in B201 but if that is not available we will move to D213. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us, irrespective of experience on Wikipedia. Participants are asked to bring their own lap-top if possible, but we can arrange to have some provided. If you wish to learn more, you can contact us via our talkpages.
