Agenda for WikiSalon, October 9, 2021: This month will feature a demonstration on Demystifying Copyright in collaboration with WikiConference North America 2021.

WikiSalon is skills-oriented, and monthly sessions alternate between demonstrations of new skills and work sessions to practice skills. Demonstrations are generally 5-10 minutes long (with an accompanying tutorial video and pdf) and target a specific skill related to Wikipedia, Wikidata, or Wikimedia Commons. Attendees share what they are working on, ask Questions, and get feedback and support.

The October 2021 demonstration will be longer than usual, and we expect that discussions will focus on copyright issues related to the demonstration. As a result we will be spending less time in general discussion and sharing. We will return to our usual format next month: If you want to discuss something that is not related to serials and copyright, we recommend adding it to the WikiSalon agenda for November 13, 2021.

Many of our regulars are librarians, archivists, professors or people interested in digital humanities and the sciences, but you don't need to be a scientist or librarian to attend or to work on the tasks or articles that we suggest. You can always work on topics that interest you.
