Greetings!
I sent this email a week ago but it appears to have not gone through? I think I may have emailed from the wrong address.
In any case, I know the notice is very short but I wonder if anybody be able to make it to my class on Wednesday?
Details are below.
Regards, Mako

Greetings!
I mentioned this at the annual meeting but here is the official request/invitation:
I am putting together a panel of Wikipedian for my class on online communities and I would love for any/all of you to join! The class meets next next Wednesday and I was planning for the panel from 5:30-6:20pm in Mary Gates Hall (MGH) 389 at UW.
Please (a) let me know if you can make it and (b) try to arrive at or before 5:25 we can get going *at* 5:30!
There's nothing to prepare but I'll probably ask you to briefly talk about your experience in Wikipedia and the students will have questions.
The class is a big one (90 students) and by Wednesday all the students will have all finished attempts to make significant improvements to stub class articles and written short essays in the User page namespace reflecting on their experience in Wikipedia over the last 6+ weeks.
We'll be spending the first half of the class talking through their experience with the WikiEd curriculum and comparing it to the approach used by the Wikipedia Adventure and the Teahouse.
I'm happy to take folks out for coffee or a drink afterward. Since we all have a meeting planned for Allegro the day afterward, maybe this can substitute for that meeting?
