Hey guys!

So, I've been speaking at Girl Geek Dinner events in the UK, spreading the good word about what it is we do, having editing sessions and then getting feedback from women on why they don't edit, or if they do, how they think Wikipedia can be improved to be more women-friendly. It's really interesting to do and the women who are involved are just the most wonderful people you could ever meet.

I am emailing the head of Girl Geek Dinners at the moment to ask whether I can send an email out to all of the organisations asking if they would like to have a woman Wikipedian come and speak at their local event. Like I said, they're all absolutely wonderful, and the crowd size is usually about forty. They're a global organisation so anyone from anywhere can volunteer for this!

My question is: Is anyone interested? If you are, please do email me with who your local chapter is and I will make a list so that if we are invited to these dinners I have a repository of people to invite to speak. The speech is already written, the format is already arranged and the women are friendly. So please, come one and all!

P.s. We usually bring cake too. Here's coverage from the Bristol event http://www.bristolwireless.net/2011/08/wikipedians-meet-girl-geeks-and-eat-cake/
