Rolling north on a CrossCountry DMU from Bristol to Edinburgh for tonight's Geomob—always a highlight for map nerds like me. Today's train is a nine-car set: a Class 220 Voyager coupled with a Class 221 SuperVoyager, working well together.

Early start (06:36 from Bristol), but worth it for £16 first class upgrade and a window seat. Train Wi-Fi was hopeless, so I switched to 5G. It was raining when I cycled to the station, but now the sun’s out and skies are blue.

Looking forward to talks about maps this evening—my third Geomob Edinburgh! Staying just one night, then a Wikimedia meetup tomorrow before heading home.

Wikimedia UK is excited to announce our relocation to new offices at the prestigious British Library!

This strategic location will enable us to better connect with partners, volunteers, and the public. Staff will continue to work remotely and occasionally come into the office, ensuring we adapt to the evolving needs of our team and the communities we serve.

More details are on our blog. https://bit.ly/3U8UhKa

I didn't manage to attend the second day of #StateOfOpenCon, but day one was excellent. #WikimediaUK had a stall there with lots of people asking questions about how it works. #Wikidata was especially popular. It was so inspiring to be immersed in open culture - I hope to go again!

And pulling it all together in just ten weeks is phenomenal, especially with that line up. Just thinking about it gives me second-hand anxiety. The organisers did a marvellous job.
