A fine example; we should consider this model for exhibits in Boston.

Dear Wikimedia California folks:

I'd like to announce an exciting opportunity for the week of August 13-17.

I've been working with the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA on a GLAMwiki (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) gathering that would provide a way for Wikipedians to work with the museum to improve Wikipedia articles about objects in their collection. If you haven't been to the museum, it's a spectacular facility in one of the famous Silicon Graphics buildings in Silicon Valley and hosts a new permanent collection about computing machinery through the ages. (http://www.computerhistory.org/)

Even more interesting, the museum plans to have an exhibit next year about seven software technologies that have changed our lives, and Wikipedia will be one of them. This get-together would also be a time to brainstorm and have Wikipedians give direct input into what is believed to be the first physical museum exhibit about Wikipedia.

This would likely be a 4-8pm event on one of the evenings of the week of August 13-17.

Interested parties, please contact me by email or as User:Fuzheado on English Wikipedia on which days you might prefer, and I'll send out a followup notice.

Thanks,
