Party and meeting in December
by Pine W 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Hi Cascadians, TA3M is interested in having an end-of-year party with us, with lightning talks and food like we had last year. I've included a funding request for the party in our current grant request to WMF. TA3M is in the process of finding a room and may coordinate the lightning talks. The likely date is December 14th (second Monday of December). If you're interested in food, lightning talks and chatting with the TA3M folks and other Cascadians, then please mark your calendars! We'll also have our annual membership meeting in December to elect board members for 2016. More details to come. Pine

Cascadia Wikimedians events on Monday and Tuesday
by Pine W 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Hi Cascadians, On Monday we'll have our regularly scheduled editathon at the UW Research Commons starting at 4:30 PM. The theme will be Native Americans in the Northwest. On Tuesday afternoon, Mako has invited us to his class for Q&A from 3:30 to 5:20. A few of us did this in a previous term and I think that we all enjoyed the experience. Please contact Mako if you're able to attend. I'm planning to show up around 4:15 PM, and I believe that Bruce will attend also. At 6 PM on Tuesday, after Mako's class finishes, we'll be over at Cafe Allegro for our regular monthly meetup. The focus will be planning for winter quarter. We've been discussing the possibility of focusing on museums, so let's work on the details at that meeting. Hope to see you Monday and/or Tuesday, Pine

Greetings! My students and I are going to be doing a debrief and reflection session on their experience with Wikipedia this coming Tuesday November 10th at 3:30-5:20. We'll be in room CMU 104 at UW. My students and I would /love/ it if any of you could take time to visit and talk about Wikipedia. They have all been working on Wikipedia for their assignments for several weeks and will have lots of great questions. Please let me know if you think you can come! So far, I have zero RSVPs! Last year we had about half a dozen folks and it was really fun! I'll take everydoby out for dinner afterward. Later, Mako <quote who="Benj.

I sent a version of this message on September 14 which, looking at the archives, it seem was never sent out to the list! In any case, it's in the quoted text of my last email. I apologize for the late notice this creates! I hope some of you can still come to my class!

Fwd: [Gendergap] Call for Participation: 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
by Pine W 05 Nov '15

Looking ahead to potential events for March. Pine ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Art+Feminism" <info(a)art.plusfeminism.org> Date: Nov 5, 2015 11:07 AM Subject: [Gendergap] Call for Participation: 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon To: <gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Dear Gender gap mailing list members, We are in the process of organizing the third annual international Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. The New York event will be held at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at MoMA on Saturday, March 5, 2016. We are looking for support in the form of participants and suggestions. Last year, over 1500 participants at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and more than 75 node events around the world participated in Art+Feminism’s second annual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia. *Together, we can double those numbers in 2016! * If you’re interested in hosting an edit-a-thon in your city over the weekend of March 4-6, 2016, please be in touch. There are funds available to help node events pay for childcare and refreshments. You can reach us at: info(a)art.plusfeminism.org. If you want to help out in other ways, we are also gathering research materials for the March event: - Suggested Topics - Articles needing creation - Articles needing expansion and/or cleanup - Suggestions for online research materials on women and the arts - Any existing documentation you might be willing to share on Wikipedia editing or conflict resolution online - You can find more information about the project and upcoming events on our meet-up page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism - Or on our website: http://art.plusfeminism.org I encourage you to forward this message on at your discretion. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you!
