Yeah I was thinking about this the other day...during my fellowship I tossed around the idea.
The diversity conference is well and good but I wanted to plan something specific to editors/contributors. This would be more like a wikihack - we work on projects - from editing Wikipedia to social media and the task forces..action focused.
UC Berkeley would gladly host. But I don't have the capacity to plan something like that and pay the rent these days...

Hi! Wikimedia DC is planning to hold another iteration of the Diversity Conference, which has a strong gender gap component. More details to come. :)-EmilyOn Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 6:08 AM, Jane Darnell <jane023@gmail.com> wrote:We were discussing the same thing here in the Netherlands. I think we want to try to hold another Art&Feminism edit-a-thon next year along with the New York version, but we wanted to do something more as well, especially because it's so hard to even explain what the gendergap is. Some people confuse it with the gender pay gap (and honestly I have no idea whether there is a gender pay gap for Wikimedia organisations, but it may help to list that as one aspect, if only to show that this is NOT what we are talking about)On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 12:08 PM, Lennart Guldbrandsson <l_guldbrandsson@hotmail.com> wrote:I think that's a great idea, and I would love to come, but it's a long way from Sweden :-/

Subject: [Gendergap] a gender gap meet-up?Does anyone else feel like it might be time for a gender gap meet-up? I love the mailing list, but it's such a limited (and formal) means of communication. I'm curious what kind of ideas and discussion would come from an in-person get together. I know several of the people on this list are in the Bay Area, so maybe we could put something together in San Francisco or Oakland. Does this sound like an interesting idea to anyone?Kaldari
