Dear all,
On October 16th, free knowledge enthusiasts all over the world are
celebrating Ada Lovelace day, in memory of Augusta Ada
Byron<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_lovelace>ce>,
the world's first computer programmer. Wikimedians all over the world are
celebrating the day by conducting edit-a-thons, workshops and conferences
mostly aiming to increase female participation in all wikiprojects. Women
Wikimedians in UK are organizing an
edit-a-thon<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women%27s…
theLibrary of Royal
Society<http://royalsociety.org/library/>in London
as a part ofWikiproject: Women's
History<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women%27s_His…ry>.
Ms. Daria Cybulska, the coordinator of the event, has welcomed
international participation from women Wikimedians around the world. I have
pitched in to run a parallel online edit-a-thon in India.
It gives me pleasure to invite you to participate in this one day long
online edit-a-thon on *19th October* for creating and expanding articles
about women scientists. I have created a list of the pages
here<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women%27s_Histor…on>.
Please feel free to expand the list by adding more names to the list. The
edit-a-thon is open to anybody interested in women's history. Women editors
and newcomers are particularly encouraged to attend. Interested
participants may kindly add your names
here<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women%27s_Histor…ts>.
More details can be found on the event page
