Re: [Wikimedia-in-en] Ada Lovelace Day Edit-a-thon

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.

The edit-a-thon is open to anybody interested in women's history. Women editors and newcomers are particularly encouraged to attend.
