# Pete's portion of the event: - __Wikipedia 20 Park Bench discussion__: A diverse group of commentators discussed Wikipedia's 20th birthday, followed by questions. - __Wikipedia 20 Wikidojo__: any may participate. A "pilot" drives a shared screen as they edit wiki for 7 minutes; a "navigator" verbally guides. (1 hour)
The Park Bench participants include: - Ward Cunningham, inventor of wiki - Alexandria Lockett, pioneer of Wikipedia as a teaching tool - Jackie Koerner, editor of Wikipedia @20 - Mac Smiff, editor and social justice activist
__Conclusion__ (further planning needed) Needs to tie in themes of One World, climate change/One Football, social justice, journalism, and promote opportunities to remain engaged.
Further relevant details
Wikipedia's 20th roughly coincides with 25 years of wiki, 10 years of FedWiki, 10 years of Wikidata, 10 years of Wiki Strategies.
Wikipedians around the world celebrated Wikipedia's 15th Birthday; see videos etc.
Wikipedia @20 is a book of essays. Pete wrote a chapter: Trusting Everybody to Work Together.
Discussed: Green Deal Wiki, WikiCari, AfroCROWD, News On Wiki, World Climate School, COP26
Worth knowing about: The Wikimedia Foundation offers "Rapid Grants" that could cover something like we're discussing. I (Pete) am not interested in funding from them, but it's probably an easy grant ($500 to 2000) if anybody else is interested. It wouldn't be reviewed/approved in time for Jan. 15, but it could be a boost for follow-on events.
