Link to Wikipedia Day Minnesota User Group Meeting - 6pm(ish) January 15
Sorry for the late notice. We will try to have a live feed going but no promises. We went from a meeting of 7 people to a meeting of over 30. A nice problem to have but getting an internet set up going at an untried location with all that is happening may be hard to do.
Use the following link to a Google Meet space to join in and cross your fingers:
