Hi all,



I'm Merrilee, and I work at a non profit that supports libraries - we
are based in Central Ohio, but also have an office in San Mateo. I'd be
happy to host an edit-a-thon and to reach out to our members that have
archival and library collections featuring women (particularly those
that have online content in the public domain) to provide fodder. I am a
Wikipedia newbie, but we are hoping to develop a Wikipedian in Residence
position this summer. I would love to work with a local partner to do
something. So Asaf, I'd be interested in being a partner in crime!



Best,



Merrilee

I don't have time to actually _produce_ or plan anything, but I'm happy
to help out if someone else is.  I can deliver outreach talks on a
variety of topics, or co-tutor at a practical workshop.



Cheers,



  Asaf

Hi everyone,

I finally joined this list the other day! So hello! I'm Sarah, a long
time Wikipedian and I'm serving as a community fellow at the Foundation,
focusing on gender gap work. I actually split my time between Washington
DC and San Francisco, where my family lives. I'm wrapping up my master's
here in DC and will be moving back to the Bay Area come early June.
Anyhoo, enough about me.

March is International Women's History Month and I'm just curious if
anyone on list have anything planned to celebrate in regards to outreach
events. We'll be having an edit-a-thon here in Washington, DC related to
women in science! I'd love to see something taking place in San
Francisco, of course, and have Wikimedians regardless of gender inspire
one another to contribute to women's history coverage on any language
and project.


Of course, outreach events that bring new users would be fabulous as
well!

I'd like to provide support anyway I can, please let me know if you'd
like assistance in making something wonderful happen in your area.

I'll be developing a page on Wiki to celebrate events, and it'd be
wonderful to have events to fill it up with, of course! This could be as
simple as having an edit-a-thon with friends at your house, to having a
more structured event. I'd also love to see some outreach events that
involve photographs of historical landmarks related to women's history.

I look forward to hearing from you, and feel free to forward this
message to any appropriate people or parties!

-Sarah

Great question. I'm not sure. I'm focusing on the gender gap in my
fellowship and personal work, however, I would love to see something
developed for Black History Month (and every other special month like
Latino, Native, etc). Especially because the majority of the content I
contribute relates to underrepresented groups!

I'm happy to participate (though only from online due to my Feb
schedule) and support in anyway!

Thank you Merrilee for being so generous to offer OCLC resources and
space for an edit-a-thon :) Very very cool!

We have started a page on English Wikipedia about the event, please
update as needed:
