18th Linux picnic Sunnyvale Saturday 15th (was Re: Visitor wanna Meetup in Bay Area in August)
by Dave Blaine 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

I may be helping a friend move on Sunday, but I'll be at the 18th annual Linux Picnic in Sunnyvale Baylands Park this Saturday: http://www.linuxpicnic.org/twiki/bin/view/Picnix18/ Of course all Wikimedians are welcome, please RSVP for free (as in free) lunch starting at noon-4pm. If you want to volunteer, follow the instructions and show up at 9:00 a.m., or whenever if you don't want to set up. There will be a lot of wi-fi and cool people. 2009/8/12 phoebe ayers <brassratgirl(a)gmail.com> > > You're right -- we need to decide! > > It looks like it will be nice, so how about meeting up Sunday afternoon at the Yerba Buena gardens, perhaps at the Samovar Tea Lounge (if there's room for a group) and at the general tables there (if there's not). > > Here's a map: > http://www.yerbabuenagardens.com/maps.html > > Samovar is on the upper terrace, above the waterfall. > > 3pm is a good meeting time -- what do other people think?

local strategic planning meetings
by Eugene Eric Kim 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

Hi everybody, I'm leading the Wikimedia Strategic Planning initiative, which we launched earlier this month: http://strategy.wikimedia.org/ One of our big goals is to engage as many folks as possible. There will be a bunch of global initiatives, and since I'm here in SF, I also plan on doing some local things as well. I'm planning a small, all-day gathering for our project team on Wednesday in SF, and would love to have a few of you join us. If you're available, drop me an email. If you're not, but you'd like to get more actively involved in general, or if you simply want to hear more about the process, let me know. Thanks! =Eugene -- ====================================================================== Eugene Eric Kim ................................ http://xri.net/=eekim Blue Oxen Associates ........................ http://www.blueoxen.com/ ======================================================================

Thomas, I hope you don't mind, that I'm copying your email to the San Francisco list. I'm heading to New York this weekend but will be back; and then I'm gone August 11. I know that Jerry Yu-yu Chan is also going to be here, but it looks like he's getting here right after you leave. I hope we can arrange something! You should try to visit the office at some point, too. I hope you will email me directly to schedule a time for that. Cary Bass Volunteer Coordinator Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!

SF Wikipedians for Newshour.org
by Jay Walsh 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi all - Folks from PBS's News Hour (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/) will be in SF on Thursday and they are very keen to shoot a segment with Wikipedia volunteers. The subject of the meeting/discussion relates to Chris Anderson's new book 'Free' - they're building off of that concept and exploring the biggest free projects, specifically why people edit, what drives them, and what they think about the free culture movement. Diane Lincoln, a reporter with the News Hour is coordinating the shoot. The interviewer will be one of the News Hour personalities. They would like to shoot/interview a group of 3-4 SF volunteers either at our offices or close by, likely outdoors at South Park. At this stage we've tentatively booked 2:00pm in the afternoon of THursday June 25. If you're interested in taking part in this you can reach out Diane directly (she's also CCed on this note) at DLincoln(a)newshour.org. I will be involved in this, and we may have one other Wikimedia person involved in the interviews either at the same time or immediately afterwards. Thanks! -- Jay Walsh Head of Communications WikimediaFoundation.org blog.wikimedia.org +1 (415) 839 6885 x 609, @jansonw

Open social web @ Mozilla Labs meetup in Mountain View - Thur 6/25
by Brion Vibber 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Mozilla Labs is holding their monthly meetup at Mozilla's new HQ in Mountain View this coming Thursday night. Topic might be of interest to some Wikimedian-type folk... "We are excited to welcome Joseph Smarr, Chief Platform Architect at Plaxo. Joseph is currently leading Plaxo’s “Open Social Web” initiative to put users back in control of who they know when using socially-enabled sites by using open data-sharing standards. He will be discussing the social web, the underlying protocols that make it possible, and the potential role for the browser to play in this world." https://labs.mozilla.com/2009/06/mozilla-labs-meetup-thursday-625/ At least a couple folks from the Wikimedia office should be there. Come hang out -- Mozilla's buying pizza! -- brion

Fwd: FYI: Wikipedia program @ SF Public Library - June 17
by phoebe ayers 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hi all, There's a program next week at SF Public Library, featuring David Silver talking about his classroom Wikipedia assignment (see below). A bit of background: I guest-lectured for two of Dr. Silver's classes last fall; he's done a Wikipedia class with three of his classes so far, two last fall and one this spring. Each class AFAIK has had the same assignment: work on [[University of San Francisco]]. As you can see from the talk page, it's been a bit rocky. (Dr. Silver is not himself a Wikipedia editor, and as far as I know has not participated in editing before or since). I did my best to teach the students about policy etc, and created a wikiproject page for the classes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_University_of_San_Franci…, but I don't think it was used for the class he is speaking about in this lecture. Anyway, could be interesting. -- Phoebe ------ Forwarded Message From: Jerry Dear <jdear(a)sfpl.org> Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:23:23 -0700 Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 Time: 6 - 7:30 p.m. Place: San Francisco Public Library, Main Branch 100 Larkin Street Latino/Hispanic Community Meeting Room B San Francisco, CA 94102 Program: When Wikipedia Meets the Library: A Case Study from the University of San Francisco Description: Professor David Silver at the University of San Francisco explains his Digital Media Production Class¹s efforts in learning how Wikipedia works and their efforts to share their research with the rest of the world.
