San Francisco Public Library Pride Editathon, June 11, 1-5
by Proffitt,Merrilee 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hi, I've been working with colleagues at the San Francisco public library on a Pride editathon. June 11, 1-5 at the main branch. I've done my usual lame job of creating the meetup page, but for now put this on your calendars and please plan to come and help support! The library staff are super excited about library resources being used to improve Wikipedia and giving you all the low down on their collections. They also forward to developing a partnership with the local Wiki community and hope that this can be the first in a series. We'll be adding articles that need improvement and creation that relate to SF LGBTQI etc people, places, events and organizations but please add your own! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/SFPL-LGBT/2016 Thank you! Merrilee

Feel free to add events from local affiliates. Please note the location of each event *in the name of the event*. If an event is online/virtual, you can say "online". * You can click on an event, which will create a popup that will let you export the event to your choice of calendar formats. There's no obligation to post events here, but I hope that this tool will be convenient for everyone. This is an experiment and comments are welcome. Pine

Announcing our first monthly WikiSalon: April 27. Join us!
by Pete Forsyth 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hello Bay Area Wiki People! I'm excited to announce a new series of WikiSalons, which several of us have been cooking up. The last Wednesday evening of every month,we'll gather wiki enthusiasts to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas. Sometimes we plan a formal program, but not always. Some events will help orient those new to the wiki world, others will speak more to experienced wiki editors. Our first event is Wednesday, April 27 at 6pm, at the Wikimedia Foundation offices in downtown SF. We have two brief presentations lined up for our kickoff event: one about the first-ever high school Wikipedia Edi-a-thon (at least, as far as we know :), and one about the experience of transgendered women at the San Quentin (male) prison. We'll also have time for informal conversation and working on articles.Newcomers are encouraged to attend. Bring a friend! We will have beverages and light snacks, provided by Wiki Strategies, Ben Creasy, and Wayne Calhoon. *Please note: You must register here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cjLRrSTlEkGOPTQ-h6A0WvSFI4ZmIUl6jEHp_RYas-…>, and bring a photo ID* that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on this point. All the details are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bay_Area_WikiSalon,_April_2016 We look forward to seeing you there -- and until then, happy editing! -Pete (and fellow organizers Ben and Wayne) p.s. Any help spreading the word is most welcome! I plan to post on various sites and invite various groups; if you'd like to join in, check out this list, and feel free to note any you are inviting: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Monthly_WikiSalon_in_San_Francisco#Announce…

Hi Ben, thanks for the suggestion. Zoom looks promising. I'm also looking into Bluejeans because I think that WMF may already have a license for it.

Why not just plan to have more than 10 people potentially? There are better videoconferencing solutions such as zoom.us.
