HI all,
Wikimedia UK is running a Women in Science themed editing event on Friday
11 October 2013 in London to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day. Great news is, *Royal
Society has opened its online resources for 11th October midnight to
midnight BST* - no paywall. This will be available to everyone, from
anywhere in the world, at http://royalsocietypublishing.org/. You can also
search particular journals
[http://royalsocietypublishing.org/journals<http://royalsocietypublishing.org/journals>
] <http://royalsocietypublishing.org/journals>.
If you would like to join us in editing while making use of the Royal
Society resource, please feel free! For an inspiration on what to edit
about, you could have a look at

Hello,
Not sure if this has been linked to before, but I think this is really good:

By the way, we have just started a series of editathons for women. One of them is happening tonight, and I was recently on the radio talking about it. The hosts were very supportive.
Best wishes,
Lennart Guldbrandsson
