Hi Raymond!

Welcome to this list, and great to see you involved.

At the salon, some light snacks will be available at the event, but if you bring something yourself, that should be fine (with some common sense constraints). For the library event I'm not sure what is the policy - but please note that you don't have to be present for the whole event - you can also show up after lunch.

Most of the people present are active on the English Wikipedia, but topics generally map more or less to other languages. For example, I'm myself mostly active on Dutch Wikipedia. If you have very specific questions about other languages, people may be able to help find someone who can answer them. The events are in English.

During the events there is opportunity to edit Wikipedia. Please bring a laptop (or other device if you prefer) if you want to join in with editing. Other participants can help you find your way if need be. Otherwise, just come as you are! Please do register ahead of time.

Best,

Lodewijk

Dear Bay Area Wikimedians:

We have two upcoming Bay Area Wiki Salon events this month!

First, the February Salon, coming up this Thursday 7 February, where we will focus on Good Articles; and then a Wiki-a-thon (edit/upload-a-thon) at the Prelinger Library, an appropriation-friendly collection 19th and 20th century historical ephemera, periodicals, maps, and books not commonly found in other public libraries, much of which is in the public domain.

See below for more information and links, and we hope to see/work with you at one or both of these events!

If you want to give a lightning talk at the 7 February Salon, please get in touch with the organizers via the Meetup page. If you plan to come to the 17 February Wiki-a-thon and are interested in helping Wiki newcomers get started, please email me.
