Dear all,
The San Francisco get together to celebrate Wikipedia's 10th anniversary is
finally coming together! Please join us for the (1st?) West Coast Wiki
Conference, on January 15, 2011 -- "Wikipedia Day". We'll have a
participant-created conference schedule all day, and will have some very
special guests and speakers including Ward Cunningham, developer of wiki
technology. We will celebrate wikis and Wikipedia, brainstorm on topics of
participant interest, and talk about what we imagine for the next 10 years
of Wikipedia and the collaborative web.
The conference will be in San Francisco, at the HUB SoMa: an art and
technology co-working space that features lots of reconfigurable space and
is very easily accessible by public transit. In the evening, we'll finish up
with a very special 10th anniversary party hosted by the Wikimedia
Foundation (details coming soon).
Tickets are $25, which covers lunch and morning snacks and the rent on the
conference space. You can reserve a spot through
EventBrite:http://wcwc2011.eventbrite.com/

There's only room for about 100 people, so please register today.
For more on the event, to volunteer (we need help!), or to start
brainstorming about program topics, please visit our wiki at

This event is a volunteer-led, participant created effort brought to you by
members of the informal San Francisco Wikimedia meetup group. To get
