Hi, all,

I’ve been working with folks in the UC Berkeley Libraries (specifically the Bancroft Library) trying to get them to think about hosting an editathon. We thought we might do something for Women’s History Month, but there’s already quite a bit scheduled both on March 7^th and March 8^th.

We were thinking about doing something on Thursday March 19^th from 4-7 – so this would be a little different in that it’s a weeknight, and also East Bay based, as well as being hosted by a library (and an awesome special collections library, at that. Part of doing this on a weeknight is to get some of the library staff to come - they are unlikely to show up on a weekend, but I recognize that you all may not want to show up at the end of a work day or on a week night! I’m just testing the waters here to see people think this is a great idea, of if we’d be better pushing it into April. Would you come? Help? Thanks for your feedback!
