Thanks!

Hi all, hope folks from the SF Bay Area can make this event
coordinated with the Computer History Museum to get a backstage tour
and to brainstorm about their upcoming Wikipedia exhibit.
Please spread the word to Silicon Valley friends non-Wikipedians. The
Museum is right near the Googleplex and is an amazing facility.

PS: I'm driving up from LA, so you don't even need to be from SF area
to make it!
MEETUP ANNOUNCEMENT
San Francisco Bay Area Wiki Meetup at the Computer History Museum
Time: Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 4pm to 8pm.
Location: Computer History Museum, Mountain View, Calif.
Meet Wikipedians and help edit a museum exhibit about Wikipedia!
The purpose of the meet up is twofold:
1. Meet fellow Wikipedians in the San Francisco Bay/Silicon Valley
area while getting a behind the scenes tour of the Computer History
Museum.
2. Help edit this exhibit! The Museum is crafting an exhibit about
Wikipedia that will debut in 2013. What should an exhibit about
Wikipedia have? How should it display Wikipedia's activities, live,
for visitors? Who better than ask than Wikipedians. Meet the museum
staff to brainstorm around ideas and how to display and visualize
Wikipedia to the public.
Who should attend: Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians alike, but
especially museum or technology enthusiasts
Address: Computer History Museum,
1401 North Shoreline Boulevard Mountain View, California.

Hi all, I hope the holiday season is treating you well!
I'm pleased to announce the third Wikipedia Women's Edit-a-thon, hosted by the California League of Women Voters and Tech Liminal, a co-working space in Oakland.
The theme is "Women and Democracy." League members will bring valuable expertise to a topic that could use lots of work on Wikipedia, and I look forward to bringing Wikipedians and League members together. (As always, if this topic doesn't excite you, you're welcome to work on any wiki content you like.)
The edit-a-thon will be Saturday, December 15 from 2-5pm; beginners are invited to come arrive promptly at 1pm for an intro session.
Please see the Wikipedia meetup page for more details, and to sign up. And let me know if you have questions or ideas!

Hi San Francisco WMF folks,
I've wanted to have an Ada Initiative event at the WMF offices for a
while, and Ada Lovelace Day is coming up next Tuesday, so it seemed
like an obvious match! You are all invited, and this event is open to
the public as well.
Please reserve here: http://adalovelacedaysf.eventbrite.com/
Party invite:
You are invited to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day with us! Ada Lovelace
Day is an international day of raising the profile of women in STEM
(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), inspired by
Countess Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer.
We're throwing a party in San Francisco so you can meet more women in
STEM, get inspired by fascinating women in science, and have a great
time!
Ada Lovelace Day San Francisco is co-hosted by the Ada Initiative and
the Wikimedia Foundation. The Ada Initiative supports women in open
source software, Wikipedia, and similar areas. The Wikimedia
Foundation supports the Wikipedia project and other free knowledge
projects. Together, we're working to change the culture of open
technology and culture to be more welcoming to women.
Most of this event will be mingling and SHORT talks about Ada Lovelace
and our work to support women in STEM. If you'd like to write about
your favorite woman in STEM for Ada Lovelace Day, you are welcome to
bring your laptop and spend a few minutes blogging or improving her
article on Wikipedia (we'll help!).
We will provide light snacks and drinks. People of all genders and
interests are welcome to attend!

We're looking for a food/drink sponsor - let me know if you have a
suggestion for a company that would like to be involved!
