Party planners
by Erik Moeller 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

All - we'll try to get a Wikimedia party set up in March. We probably won't have the organizational bandwidth to manage it ourselves - do any of you have experiences with SF party planners? -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] SF Weekly story

I just talked to the reporter Cary mentions below... she is still looking for some people to interview, especially experienced editors who are actually in San Francisco proper. I'm resending this since a lot of people have subscribed to the list since Cary sent out the original message. -- phoebe ----- Hi all! The San Francisco Weekly is looking for a few editors to interview for an upcoming story.

Speaker requests
by Lee Daniel Crocker 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

While I'm not in the Bay Area proper (I live in Sacramento), I'm about two hours way and visit frequently (Mom lives in Fremont). I only work three days a week right now, and I'd be happy to speak. I've spoken at conferences before, both technical and more philosophical (Extropians). I was greatly involved in the early days of Wikipedia and in the creation of its software. -- Lee Daniel Crocker <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lee_Daniel_Crocker>

2 SF Speaker request
by Jay A. Walsh 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hi folks, I have two requests for speakers in the Bay Area. Both have said they would be very happy to have experienced WP editors. Discussions would both be generally about WP and the projects. Let me know if you're interested and I will do a link-up. This one is tentatively set for mid-May: Eric Goldman wrote: > We are considering organizing a discussion panel about Wikipedia at > Santa Clara University.

Hiring a software developer and IT guy...
by Brion Vibber 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all you Wikimedians -- We're now hiring for a software development position at the new San Francisco office. This is an entry-level position, but existing experience with MediaWiki or other LAMP-style development will be a big help. Since we're still a small office, the new guy will need to help people with basic IT issues as well; we have a mixed environment with Mac, Linux, and Windows machines, and varying degrees of tech-savvy. Fuller job description at: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Software_Developer_/_IT_Su… Drop me a mail if you're interested; we'll be scheduling interviews in the next few weeks. We're planning to open up a couple more dev positions over the coming months as budget allows, but no timetable yet. - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHmmVLwRnhpk1wk44RAobTAJ9ZhONxAzzPKKlJFl0rDEXqSgFQRQCgro4h nlojdzyAsOu3qa5pvcsZoxo= =lguO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Design firms
by Erik Moeller 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

All - does anyone on the list have recommendations for SF (preferably SOMA) design firms that could help us with basic CI stuff, but also event-based things like dinner invitations & signs? Obviously we can always check Yelp & Co., but if you have personal recommendations, we'd appreciate them :-) -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

SF Weekly story (and hi!)
by phoebe ayers 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi all, Thanks for the information about the SF Weekly story, Cary. Do you think that they would be willing to do email interviews, or are they looking for in-person? In-person would be tough for me. I think we should get a friendly coast-to-coast competition going with Boston re: whose free paper can produce a better Wikipedia story (http://new.thephoenix.com/article_ektid52864.aspx) :) To everyone: welcome to this new list! I hope we can make good use of it. Please encourage other Wiki/m/pedians in the area to subscribe. cheers, phoebe
