Hi everybody!
Wikipedia is almost 15 years old — it was first turned on on January 15, 2001! Which means we ought to have a party. I’ll check with the CU Boulder Libraries to see if they’d be interested in helping us organise an event, but if not, the Boulder Public Library has pretty large rooms available for free.
This is all fine for us Boulder folks, but if we’d rather pool our resources to have one big party down in Denver instead, we *could* ask the Denver Public Library whether they’d let us have one of their rooms for free (https://www.denverlibrary.org/content/meeting-rooms). Would anybody be interested in spearheading this? If not, I’ll start organising a Boulder-based event next week and we can take it from there!
All other ideas and suggestions welcome!
cheers,
Gaurav
Hi everybody!
I've been out of town and out of all the loops, so I completely missed
that there's an editation at CU Boulder TOMORROW, October 20, from 3pm
to 6pm in the Library of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics (NOT the
main library where we've had previous editathons). I'll be there from
4pm to 6pm, so see you there maybe!
All details available at
http://events.colorado.edu/EventList.aspx?fromdate=10/16/2015&todate=10/29/…
cheers,
Gaurav

Hullo!
I've just noticed that this weekend is Doors Open Denver
(http://www.doorsopendenver.com/, but their website isn't the best
designed, so this PDF might be more useful: http://bit.ly/1OcjNrH),
with a *huge* list of 10$ walking tours and 50 "open sites" that are
free to explore through Saturday and Sunday. I'm not sure if I'll have
time to go down yet, but it might be an opportunity to organize a mini
Wiki Takes Denver event! We could focus on LoDo as we did last time,
meet during or after one of the tours, or try another venue (City
Park?).
Mike's Camera is organizing its own 10$ walking tours through both
days, with free loaner cameras available; I know there are some camera
buffs in this group, so that might be of interest! Details at
http://mikescamera.com/doors-open-denver.html
Anyone interested?
cheers,
Gaurav
A week later...
Anyone interested?
DPL Central branch is open from 9-5 on Saturdays and it looks like they
have mostly morning activities in their meeting rooms for Saturdays in
March.
The cost of renting a 16-person meeting room would be $25/hr, plus
additional cost for serving food there (a fee to make sure we don't mess
stuff up with food stains, etc.)
Would you attend a 4 or so hour event, with snacks, to write articles about
women's history (specifically, women in Colorado)?

Sarah, you beat me to it!
Who's interested in an edit-a-thon relating to Women's History Month in
March, at the Denver Public Library?
We need to start planning now so that we can secure funds for the room
rental, snacks, etc.

Yo, wikipedia friends! I created another new article about the beginnings of a possible revolution in access to health information and medical records.
It is pretty geeky: Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR, pronounced "fire") is a draft standard describing data formats and elements (known as "resources") and an Application Programming Interface (API) for exchanging Electronic health records. It comes from the Health Level 7 (HL7) health-care standards organization.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Healthcare_Interoperability_Resources
Would someone be willing to review it and remove the "unreviewed" template?
Note: actually, while I created it from scratch, I then noticed that some other folks created the same page (on a redirected name) a few years ago when the subject was really in its infancy. They had fewer good citations then, and it was speedily deleted. I think the situation is very different now.
Cheers,
Neal McBurnett http://neal.mcburnett.org/

Who's interested in applying for Wikimedia user group status
