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?

I think that's a great idea, and I would love to come, but it's a long way from Sweden :-/

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)

Hi! Wikimedia DC is planning to hold another iteration of the Diversity Conference, which has a strong gender gap component. More details to come. :)

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...

Great idea! Are there enough people on the list within striking distance of London to make this a possible venue too?
Any evening, week commencing 15 December?
Or propose a date.

Revisiting this thread after I had my tea (I keep reminding myself not to send emails prior to caffeine intake)
1) Gender Gap conference or whatever re: Keiliana. That's cool. I'm down. There are usually grants for people to travel to the conference - so international people and those not in DC, look out.
2) I would like to see some action driven activities. Not just lectures, and more focus on women/women-identifying people, presenting. The reason I suggest a "Wikihack" is so we can edit together, celebrate together, and feel like we left getting some things done - on talk pages or on content pages. But not have to make it some type of formal edit-a-thon thing.
3) I think it would be super cool to organization WikiWomen/Gender Gap meetups internationally on a semi regular basis - just for beers and sewing and solidarity. We see meetup's all the time around the world and I notice they are still male dominated. I think it would be cool. Perhaps we can create a meet-up space on Wikipedia for WikiWomen (and those who identify as such). I'm all down for hanging out with allies, but, I'd really like to have a woman centric meetup, too.

I'd attend a Bay Area meetup!

I love the idea of a Wikiwomencamp version 2.0. I thought the one in Buenos Aires was such a breath of fresh air at the time. Please let me know how I can best help.

i say if you would attend, the challenge is to organize one (said by the serial attender)
the nice thing about glamcamp was training; empowering editors to organize events; it could start as a low cost, wikisalon, then move to editathon (if you build some contacts with an institution) does take some time, but the salons could just be "hey everyone, i'm hanging out here at a regular time"
try it, nothing to lose.
