Hi all,
I'm on the DC Chapter Board with Katie. Thanks for giving us an opportunity
to discuss this.
To Joanna's and others' questions (particularly in the DC area, but anyone's
welcome!): one of the best ways to help out would be to join the Chapter,
participate in events, and help us find ways to include more diverse voices
in Wikipedia and other Wiki projects. Most importantly, consider running
for a leadership position in the future - our chapter needs leaders who care
about these issues and actively look for opportunities to address them and
advocate for improvement.
More generally, Wikimedia DC looks forward to helping increase female
participation. Indeed, two members of the Board are women, all of our Board
members recognize the importance of these issues, and we continue to invite
in more women to Wiki projects through the multiple outreach projects we are
hosting in our community.
Please feel free to reach out to any of us directly...especially if you want
to get involved!
Best,
Tiffany

sooo, i've heard some buzz about what is
going on in the d.c. chapter, and
I've been thinking of writing a post about it, bc frankly if the buzz is
accurate, i'm a little disappointed. Does anyone know what is going on
there? Thought this might be a good place to ask before I open my big mouth.
