Hey everyone,
We've booked and confirmed the date for our event at the North Beach location of the SF Public Library! It's going to be:
*Tuesday, October 7, 2025* *6:00 PM - 7:30 PM* *San Francisco Public Library, North Beach branch* *850 Columbus Avenue San Francisco, CA 94133*
Here's the event description that I submitted:
*The Life of a Wikipedia Editor, and How You Can Join!* *Sit with a panel of experienced Wikipedia editors as they discuss some of the rewards and challenges of contributing to the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. There will be tips on how you can get involved and make your first edits, as well as plenty of time for both structured Q&A and informal meet and greet.*
So far we've got a few yes's and a few maybe's from people on the list. The more the merrier! If you can't contribute slides or don't want to be on the panel for Q&A, you can still come to be part of the informal meet and greet, or just to lend moral support.
As the date gets closer, I'll start a separate private thread with everyone who has expressed interest. There's still room though, so feel free to email me directly or respond here if you're starting to get curious.
Thanks everyone, -Travis

Hi Travis,
If a spot is available, I would prefer to be part of the panel because I want more experience with giving presentations and talks.
Best regards, Nathan Han

Hi Sheffield and Nathan!
Would love to have you join us! Just so everyone knows, I'm not picturing any limit to the number of people we can have on the panel. 3 person panel? Great! 8 person panel? No problem. The more people we have, the more diverse perspectives we can represent, for example from a high school student as you mentioned Nathan. There also may be something of a "meet and greet a Wikipedian" time at the end, so even if you don't want to sit on an "official panel" in the front of the room, you could wear a badge or name tag that lets people know they can come up and talk to you.
No new info from the library at this time, but I'll update you all when I hear back and we have more detailed plans.
Thanks everyone, -Travis

Hi Travis,
I'm interested in this event. Depending on what you need, I can contribute from my perspective as a high school student.
