Hi all!

So glad to see so many of you at our March meetup. I'll get more chairs before next time. We've also worked out a better presentation system, and unpacked the hybrid meeting setup, to hopefully allows anyone who wants to join us in April to do so.

Whether you are a new or an experienced editor, please join us to celebrate Women History month for an editathon on Women in UX design. March 27, 6-8PM at Double Union and online. [Register here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-in-interaction-design-tickets-12802453914...).

Our next meetup is Thursday April 10 at 6.30pm. Registration (in person and online) is available on eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bay-area-wikipedians-workshop-tickets-125541904...)

The agenda:

- Introductions - Housekeeping - Progress on partnership with SF Historical Society - Should we have a group chat to keep in touch between meetup? - Working groups: come share what you've been working on and socialize, or get advice and find new collaborators. We will have, at minimum: [1] Technical contributors working group (Travis); [2] Humanities and Wikimedia working group (Emeline); [3] more working groups depending on interest, or just socializing around pizza and drinks.

Do bring friends potentially interested in contributing, and I've printed some physical posters to advertise the meetup if you have more places to post them. I'm hoping to bring to the meetup organizers from the Bay Area Writers community who want to better understand how to contribute to Wikimedia projects on related topics. I know some of you are interested in history-related topics and improving local politicians pages, so if you want to officially host a working group around that, let me know!

---- March meetup recap

Lots of interest around AI and Wikipedia. We hosted a presentation on project STORM in July 2024, and the researchers came back to present project SPINACH.

Last month's presentation was on AI-assisted updates; the researchers are still searching for participants: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:AI-Assisted_Wikipedia_Updating ----

See you next month, Emeline, Elan and Travis
