They actually placed geo notices last week on the talk pages of many users. In response to Sven’s idea about having a coordinator, I think it is a good idea, but I am hesitant about having one because there may be reasons for holding an event at such and such a time (Amherst is hosting ours that day because it is part of a whole week of festivities, for example).

Hello everyone. I'm not entirely sure that these emails are read and/or wanted, but here's one anyways!

Tonight's meeting was attended by five people. Maia (the event planner for the upcoming Ada Lovelace Day edit-a-thon) was there, and the main topic of conversation was that event. Aside from the Ada Lovelace event, no official business was discussed. In short, while we'd have loved for you to have joined us, if you didn't show, you didn't miss anything new or critical.


There are four events coming up in New England that you should know about. They are:

Please note that Maia would like for you to RSVP for the Ada Lovelace Day event via email. Her mailing address is <maiaw@nasw.org>. The other two events with pages set up have regular sign up sections.

If any Wikipedia administrators are reading, it'd probably be a good idea to set up the sitenotice for the Ada Lovelace Day event as soon as possible, as we're only a week away.

 

Thanks for reading,

Sven
