Hey everyone, Just announcing another Boston-area edit-a-thon that will be taking place on Friday, March 29th at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society... As it is Women's History Month, we will be focusing our efforts on editing and adding to articles on notable women. The event is one of a bunch being held around the world in conjunction with WikiWomen's History Month<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month>, a project to increase female participation and representation on Wikipedia. As such, we strongly encourage female editors to attend! All experience levels welcome. Full details, including RSVP information, can be found on our event page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Womens_History_Edit-a-thon_-_… cheers, maia weinstock maiaw.com | user:girona7 | @20tauri

Hackathon/Editathon on April 6th in Boston
by Adam Hyland 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Details here: http://www.meetup.com/wikipedia-5/events/109596252/ Bocoup is hosting a Wikipedia editathon/hackathon from 10AM to 5PM on the 6th of April. On the edit side of things we'd love to focus on improving wikipedia's coverage of open web technologies (notable libraries, languages, design patterns, etc.) but we're happy to have anyone come and contribute on an article they're interested in improving. The hackathon side is completely open. We people to get excited about contributing to Wikimedia projects technically but we're also looking forward to see cool things get done to user scripts/styles, the API and data derived from Wikipedia. I'm going to add a page on Wikipedia proper soon enough. The details there should basically mirror those on Meetup.com. Please email me (or leave a note on my talk page) with any questions. Thanks, -Adam -- Adam Hyland Web: http://shiftcommandawesome.com

meet in Boston next month?
by Gabriel Fishman 14 Mar '13

Hi wikimedians, We've had good turnout at the last few monthly meetups, but we've been missing some of the folks who live on the Boston side of the Charles. We've talked periodically about alternating between Boston and Cambridge. I'd like to propose that we meet in Boston next month. Please chime in and let us know if this would make you more or less likely to come. One possibility is encuentro5, which is right near Park Street Station/Downtown Crossing. However, please let us know if you have an alternative idea. Perhaps someplace close to Northeastern? Best, Gabe

Boston City Archives
by Participation Support 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hello, Wikimedians in Boston! This Participation Support request from a User who works with the Boston City Archives is to attend the upcoming Open GLAM Launch in Berkeley: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation:BostonCityArchives/US_OpenGLAM… . Before making a decision about whether or not to fund the request, we wanted to gauge the interest of some local Wikimedians in working with the Boston City Archives. Does anyone have experience working with the archives, or is anyone interested in getting involved with their work releasing their digitized images on commons, or does anyone have other information that might be useful to us as we're considering the request? By the way, for those of you who may not have heard much about the Participation Support Program, it is a reimbursement program that funds the travel costs of contributors who are participating in events such as meetings and conferences. It doesn't fund participation in Wikimedia-movement-organized events such as Wikimania or events organized by local chapters - requests for scholarships to attend those events should still go through the event organizers (who are welcome to apply for a grant through the WMF Grants Program: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index). To learn more about the program and see some examples of successful requests, please visit http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation:Supportor write to us at participation(a)wikimedia.org at any time. Thank you, and best regards! Winifred -- Winifred Olliff Grants Administrator Wikimedia Foundation
