I'll be on campus for the KCTS Ask the Governor event that night anyway, so spending some time in your classroom would be no problem. Count me in.

Hi Mako,
On the 10th we'll have our regular monthly meeting at Cafe Allegro. What if I show up at your class around 4:15-4:30? This would give the class a little time to develop some questions before I arrive. Hopefully other Wikipedians can attend also.

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

Greetings Fellow Cascadia Wikimedians!
As many of you know, I teach at the University of Washington as my day job. Once again this year, I'm teaching a class about online communities. The syllabus is still being developed but it's online here:
http://wiki.communitydata.cc/Interpersonal_Media_%28Fall_2015%29
As part of the class, I'm trying to get everybody in the class to learn about Wikipedia and it's, norms, policies, and rules and then demonstrate this learning by "joining" our community and making a series of valuable contributions. I gave a talk about the class at Wikimania this year:
https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Assignment_1:_Become_A_...
Although I've been around our community long enough that I can play a pretty convincing Wikipedian, I would love to invite others from Wikimedia Cascadia in or around Seattle to come visit on November 10th, tentatively 3:30-5:20pm. I'll confirm details later.
We'll be having a "debrief" about our whole Wikipedia contribution assignment on this day. I'd love to have as many local Wikipedians as possible join us!
Send me an email offlist (makohill@uw.edu) if you're interested. In return, I can offer you dinner and the dubiously valuable gifts of my gratitude and company.
Regards, Mako http://mako.cc/academic/
