Hey Amanda,
this sounds interesting! If it happens to work out with my schedule, I'll try to join - assuming we can organize it in a reasonably safe way.
The schedule is unfortunately not very generous towards the US westcoast, but Friday is the one day where we have a good amount of content in friendly hours. Were you thinking of doing watch parties maybe (could we set up three spaces with a big screen?) for those hours? That may be the closest we can get to a true Wikimania experience.
I'd be happy to help out with some logistics (although I don't have the bandwidth to pull it myself - so I'm very excited to see you take initiative!).
Best, Lodewijk

Hullo hullo lovely Bay Area Wikimedians,
Next weekend is Wikimania https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania, the annual international festival of all things Wikipedia ^_^
Since I didn't see an SF-based event in the calendar https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/In-person_events, I created one for this Friday đ đ I'm thinking we could do hackathon stuff in the morning and workshops and a mixer in the afternoon. If anyone wants to help organize, please let me know! I'll try to have an event page this afternoon.
Cheers, Amanda
