Hello. I am interested in having some meetups (both working and social) with other wikipedians in this area. I would like to see some meetings in Berkeley if we can find (or create) a space. There are hacker spaces in SF and Oakland, but I'm not aware of any in Berkeley that we can use. I would like to talk to anyone else in Berkeley who might be interested in finding or getting a space going where we can edit together.
I'm currently working on updating articles relating to librarianship, but looking at the articles of local interest (Berkeley, Phoebe Hearst, Free speech movement), there is work we could do, and the resources are here.

Hi Karen,
The Oakland Local wiki people have regular meetups once a month or more. Wikipedians are welcome. I've joined them in the past and enjoyed it quite a bit! And meeting in the Oakland History room is totally awesome.

Hacker Moms is a hacker space in Berkeley. We approached them about hosting a women's Wikipedia meetup once, but it didn't work out, I think because their space wasn't as large as we wanted it to be? Someone else on the list might remember.

Hello Karen,
Good to hear! I am located in San Francisco, but willing to venture to Berkeley. In addition to this list, we usually organize San Francisco/Bay Area events at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco
If you don't mind hosting a Wikipedia event in San Francisco, I am happy to help find space at the Wikimedia Foundation office.
Cheers, Stephen

Merrilee - I will stop in at the Hackermoms space - I haven't been there. I do fear that it may be a bit ... mom-ish, but I should hold that thought until I get a look at it.
Thanks, kc
