Pheobe, I had a great time doing this last year and very much regret it is not possible this year. I have an all-day summer camp staff training on Saturday, and am attending another event on Sunday. Please keep me notified of future opportunities to support Wikipedia.

Hi all,
We do have a Wikimedia booth spot at Maker Faire, which is next weekend in San Mateo! (Saturday & Sunday, May 18 & 19th)
We are urgently looking for volunteers who can staff the booth and talk about Wikimedia projects with passers by. It's a fun way to interact with the public and answer lots (and lots and lots) of questions; we also have free tickets for volunteers, so you can see the rest of the ultra-cool Maker Faire too.
We are especially short on coordinators this year as several of the long-time volunteer coordinators (including myself) have other commitments that weekend. Hence the short notice! So we are looking for:
- setup help on Friday evening (after work)
- staff for Saturday
- staff and a coordinator for Sunday -- the coordinator will
help make sure that the booth gets broken down and is adequately supervised all day
- people with cars who can help drive on Friday and Sunday
Let me and Stephen Laporte (stephen.laporte@gmail.com) know if you can do any of these things. Wiki page coming shortly.
