Hey all -
I'm currently UC Berkeley's Wikipedian in Residence.
It took a while to straighten out the technical details of my ability to reserve rooms, set up internet for non-affiliates, and so forth. However, it seems like we've finally gotten everything straightened out. For at least the next few months, if anyone would like to co-organize a Wikipedia related event open to and of interest to our campus community with me, I should be able to secure rooms of pretty much any size, as well as internet access for participants.
I know we've had some problems securing venues in the east bay in the past, and hopefully this will be of help. (We'll also be having some editathons on campus open to the general community that we'll announce in the near future :))
Best, Kevin Gorman
