Great news - thanks, Kassondra!
I don't think we have to hit March in particular, though it would be nice.
I'll be in Berlin on and around April 19 (at Wikimedia Conference 2018!!). Perhaps back by May 1.

Hi all!
I'd also love to help with this remotely but I'll also be gone for most of March, unfortunately. I have been working on hosting one in April, though, if any of you are interested in joining? The Boulder History Museum wants to host a series of edit-a-thons starting in April to identify and recognize women and people of color from Boulder's history who need pages. We're still at the early stages of planning that, but we identified April 19 as a possible date for the first one. The museum has an awesome intern who's identified a long list of people who were incredibly influential in this city's history and don't have pages yet, so we have a great list to start with.
If you're interested in joining, let me know! I'll keep you in the loop on how that shapes up.
Thanks so much! I am constantly inspired by all your enthusiasm and dedication. Cheers to changing the world one page at a time! :)
