[Wikimedia Cascadia] Participate in my class about Wikipedia? (Nov 10) [Seattle]

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(a)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/ Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results. --GNU Manifesto
