Hi all -
I'll be hosting an editathon at Hoyt Hall, one of the all-women houses of the Berkeley Student Cooperative on April 6th from about 3-6pm. We have a Facebook event up for it currently: https://www.facebook.com/events/551220101577033/554851644547212/?notif_t=pla... and I'll be getting up all of the other normal editathon infrastructure within the next few days.
I had initially expected it to be a fairly small event of maybe 15-20 people, but it's looking like it's going to be significantly more sizable than that. The Facebook event currently has sixty something RSVP's, and we have not yet advertised the event through most of the channels that we're going to be advertising it through - it could easily end up being a 80-90 person thing. Most of these people will never have edited Wikipedia before, and many of them are going to be quite excited about it.
If you are an experienced bay area Wikipedian willing to come out to the event and help newbies, please drop me a line off list. It would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks, Kevin Gorman
