Wikipedian Meet-Up
Minnesota Wikipedians got together last Wednesday for a 'meetup' celebrating Wikipedia's 24th birthday. Lots of new faces (I only saw one person from the last meetup I attended-in 2019) and lots of young people. Most of them were tyros, but everybody has to start somewhere. I was the oldest there and probably had the longest experience of editing. The organizer was pleasantly surprised at the turnout (I'm the ghostly face behind the man in the blue shirt), he had originally booked a room for 8 people!
There was food, including tater tot hotdish and green Jello salad. I brought my famous sourcream molasses cookies that were quickly scarfed up. A young man approached me and asked if I was willing to be interviewed. I gave him my email address; time will tell if that social interaction comes to fruition.
