Sharing this in a separate email so it does not get lost. The deadline to apply for a scholarship to attend the NYC Wikiconference in October is coming up on April 4. It's a rather short application.

If you are planning to apply and want to be put in touch with other applicants from the Bay Area, please let us know and we'll make a separate email thread for logistics.
Cheers,

Hi all!
We had a lovely editathon on Women in UX design on March 27th. We welcomed new editors, and tested our new hybrid setup. It works quite well! So do join our next meetup remotely if that is what is convenient for you. It will be on Thursday April 10 at 6.30pm. Registration (in person and online) is available on Eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bay-area-wikipedians-workshop-tickets-12554190…. Agenda below.
We also received good and bad news.
Good news is that our rapid grant request was partially funded and will be paying for pizzas, drinks, and miscellaneous that we had so far been covering to organize our meetups and community events.
Bad news is that we were not recognized by the affiliation committee as a user group. After some investigation, it appears they want us to hold yearly elections for organizers. We've added this to the agenda for April 10th.
----
April agenda:
- Introductions
- Housekeeping
- Progress on partnership with SF Historical Society
- Should we have a group chat to keep in touch between meetup?
- Affiliation committee and rapid grant
- Working groups: come share what you've been working on and socialize, or get advice and find new collaborators. We will have, at minimum: [1] Technical contributors working group (Travis); [2] Humanities and Wikimedia working group (Emeline); [3] more working groups depending on interest, or just socializing around pizza and drinks.

Please let us know if you'd like to add anything to the agenda.
See you next month,Emeline, Elan and Travis
