Hey guys,
Just thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that Wikimedia UK have started collaborating with Girl Geek Dinners in the UK to encourage more women to edit and to get feedback from women who aren't Wikipedia editors already on why they haven't started yet.
We had our first dinner last night and it was a roaring success! You can see the press for it here: http://www.bristolwireless.net/2011/08/wikipedians-meet-girl-geeks-and-eat-c ake/
If anyone would like to help out, or if anyone would be interested in giving feedback and advice for any future dinners we're having, please drop me a line and let me know. Would love to hear from you. Girl Geeks also do events in the US so if anyone is interested in helping out there, again, please drop me a line!
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and look forward to hearing from you. We have collected feedback from this event and it will be on the Wikimedia UK blog soon.
