About the meet up

The Penderel's Oak in Holborn

Location of The Penderel's Oak

A social gathering for Wikipedia enthusiasts. Where we...

• Eat Sunday lunch and drink some beers (although beer isn't required, nor is Sunday lunch)
• Chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy.

Mainly a casual social event. You can expect to meet some very keen Wikipedians, however this is also an open invite for anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, projects re-using Wikipedia, and other collaborative wiki projects. Also wiki technology, MediaWiki, or discussing the business impact of mass collaboration. Feel free to come along and raise these discussions over a beer.

The pub is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe.

Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
