Please link me to the Wikipedia page for the event so that I can participate remotely. I am 2 for 2 on producing GA class articles from Ada Lovelace Day editathons, and do not intend on letting a little thing like the full length of the eastern seaboard break my streak.

Of course, remote contributions are also very much welcome if you can't make it to Providence on Tuesday. For anyone I don't see in person, I hope to catch up with you at the Mass. History Wiki edit-a-thon at the Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe on the 23rd!I'm very pleased to have connected this week with Wikimedian Michael Umbricht, who is the curator at Brown's historic Ladd Observatory. Mike will be speaking at the edit-a-thon about the Ladd's recent GLAM project, plus some women-in-astronomy trivia. Later in the evening, Anne will discuss the continuing gender imbalance in the STEM fields as well as her take on "storming" Wikipedia as a way to improve representation of women in the annals of science history.From Brown; from The Chronicle of Higher Ed; from The Atlantic; from The Mary SueHey everyone,Great to see those of you at the New England Wikimedians meeting on Saturday; I plan on following up soon with some of the ideas we tossed around.
In the meantime, the Ada Lovelace Day edit-a-thon that I've been organizing with my friend, biology professor Anne Fausto-Sterling, is set to take place on the Brown University campus in Providence, RI this Tuesday, Oct 15, from 3-8:30pm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Ada_Lovelace_Edit-a-thon_2013_-_Brown
