See yah! Wayne, on behalf of the coordinating team (Avik, Lodewijk,

Wednesday, September 26 at 6 p.m...
Periodically, on a last Wednesday evening of the month, wiki and
open-source enthusiasts meet up to mingle, munch, collaborate or learn
about new projects and ideas. At each *WikiSalon*
we plan a brief formal presentation; some will help orient people new
to the wiki/open-source world, with others geared to more experienced
people. Many presentations will have broad appeal to
non-wiki/non-open-source folks. We hope you will join us! Note: We are
extremely inclusive – broadly construed – plus we adhere to the
friendly place policies of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Hi everyone,
Apologies, but we had to reschedule the upcoming Bay Area WikiSalon event
to June 6th (from May 30), due to a WMF host scheduling conflict. All other
information remains the same.
*New date: Tuesday, June 6, 2018*
Time: 6 - 8:30 (or 9) PM
*Location: 120 Kearny Street., Suite 1600, San Francisco 94108 (Wikimedia
Foundation headquarters)
The focus topic for the Salon will be *images on Wikipedia.*
We will start with a short intro on how you can contribute images, and good
places to find images for your articles. There will be ample opportunity to
ask questions. After that, we will have time to edit Wikipedia/Wikimedia
together or by ourselves. If you want some help with issues you are facing,
this is an excellent opportunity to get some help from other editors!
Otherwise, it's also a nice opportunity to meet and mingle with some fellow
Wikimedians.
Refreshments, light hor d'oeuvres, and possibly pizza will be served!

The Data Privacy Shake-Up
Thursday, May 31, 2018
Stanford Rock Center for Corporate Governance
Room 290, Stanford Law School
559 Nathan Abbott Way, Stanford, CA 94305
5:30-6pm: Reception, 6-7pm: Panel Discussion.
Free and open to the public.

As more data becomes digitized, and consumers increasingly share
personal and sensitive information with devices and apps, concerns
around data privacy are taking on greater importance. These concerns
are fueled by recent high-profile data misuse scandals that have
thrust the data gathering and privacy policies of companies into the
spotlight. Join us for a discussion of data privacy on both sides of
the pond, from the future of data privacy regulation in the US to the
recent introduction of the GDPR with its extraterritorial effect and
high maximum penalties, and the ripple effect of trends across the
globe.
This session, the Fifth Annual Kirkland & Ellis Law Forum, will bring
together leading in-house attorneys, private practitioners and
academics to discuss their views on the shifting sands of the data
privacy landscape.
Panelists:
Michael Callahan
Senior Vice President / General Counsel, LinkedIn (and incoming
Executive Director of the Stanford Rock Center for Corporate
Governance)
Emma L. Flett
Partner, Kirkland & Ellis
John Lynn
