Maker Faire is on again for May 30-31 in San Mateo. Is there any
chance Wikimedia will have a booth again? Or was that a one-time event
for us?

Andrew Lih will be speaking at the San Francisco Wiki Wednesday on April 1:
http://dreamfish.com/2009/03/wiki-wednesday-3/
Andrew's book 'The Wikipedia Revolution' has just come out, and may be
of interest to some of you. :)
Much of the Wikimedia staff will be out of town then for our big board,
chapters, and developer meetings in Berlin, so I won't be able to join
y'all there...

There's nothing really exciting within walking distance from BART at Dublin/Pleasanton if that's what you mean. It would be more like a BART and short bus ride. Honestly, I've never done a meetup so I'm not familiar with the protocol, formality, or what usually occurs during a meetup. Does a restaurant work since the proposed date is a Thursday evening? There's the Hopyard (http://www.hopyard.com Wheels #8 bus from BART) or the #10 bus gets a person to downtown Pleasanton with the pleasant Main St. atmosphere and numerous other restaurants.

According to Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Bay_(San_Francisco_Bay_Area) ) the East
Bay does include Pleasanton. That being said, if you've got a suggestion
for somewhere to meet that is near BART in Pleasanton/Dublin, then by all
means, speak up.

This is a test of the emergency sig system.
Oh, and the following location only accurate +/- 100 miles. So if you're
coming to get me, better send a nuke.

Friends,
Some of you may know of Counterpulse's project called "Shaping San
Francisco." It is now a wiki at foundsf.org. The site is full of
historical writings and essays concerning the history of San
Francisco, especially that which is not usually taught in school and
much that is still being discovered.
I have concentrated on San Francisco history in my wikipedia work and
am beginning to migrate some of my contributions over to this San
Francisco history wiki. For those who may be frustrated by wikipedia's
objectivity and lurking deletionists, foundsf.org is a chance to write
on topics more narrowly or broad, and even editorialize a bit.
Check it out.

Sorry about that, we're obviously still accepting applications. I've
changed the posting on the WMF site.
Thanks,

Hello All,
As some of you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation received a grant
from the Stanton Foundation to improve the usability of Wikipedia for
new contributors. I'm the tech lead for that project, and we have an
open Software Developer position. We're looking for PHP developers,
preferably in the San Francisco Bay Area and with prior MediaWiki
experience. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please
direct them to the job posting below:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Software_Developer_(projec…
Thanks,
Arash Boostani
P.S. my apologies if you receive this message more than once. We're
trying to cast a wide net.

Hi all
I'm proposing a meetup date of the evening of Thursday, May 7. How
does that sound to people?
What sort of venue do we want to hold it in?
How about some place in the East Bay this time?
