Please join us in downtown San Francisco!

Hi folks,

Please share this.

We would like to invite you to this month's Bay Area WikiSalon. The last Wednesday evening of every month, Wikipedia and Wikimedia enthusiasts gather at the Wikimedia Foundation lounge to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We will have no meaty agenda this month, but we will allow a brief period for:

* Open mic for anybody who attended http://wikiconference.org/wiki/2016/Main_Page in San Diego last week and wants to share their takeaway * Question & answer * Open mic for announcements * Maybe a focus on some topical election article editing with Ben?

Or, you can grab a couch, a booth, a stool or counter and do your own thing.

Please note: You should register here: http://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cjLRrSTlEkGOPTQ-h6A0WvSFI4ZmIUl6jEHp_RYas-E and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. This also helps us figure out how much food and drink to bring in! Feel free to stop by even if only to say a quick hello, but you might have to give us a last minute call if you forget to RSVP. Also, don't be shy about hitting us up if you have thoughts on future speakers or wiki-related activities.

PS: Mark your calendars ahead now for the last Wednesday in November, the 30th (the week after Thanksgiving), at 6 p.m. when our Bay Area WikiSalon will host a super awesome top secret mystery guest mingling in our midst. We will announce specifics at the upcoming WikiSalon.

See you soon! {{u|Peteforsyth|Pete F}}, {{u|Ben Creasy|Ben}}, {{u|Slaporte (WMF)|Stephen}}, Jacob, and {{u|Checkingfax|Wayne}}
