Oh, man, that would be neat. Would you know how to set something for that up, or who would? (Nevermind that we already had a WLL - we can have another! Or something.)
And yeah, we definitely need to work on organising things better and getting word out ahead of time. For this thing we just had a small group mostly with librarians and folks and discussed sourcey things, which was cool, but by no means the extent of what we might hope for.

Wow - thanks for organizing! How did it go?
Unfortunately, I missed this entirely. I didn't notice the email (I've now fixed my mail filters, so I'll probably see future posts).
Next time, I suggest a bit more notice, coordinating with the library folks, having something cool, like a special viewing of the Rosetta Disk at the CU Library Special Collections department, and having them help get the word out.
You can't open the rosetta disk up without special permission, thus the idea for a special event. Learn more about it e.g. here:

Wikipedia Loves Libraries will be at Norlin Library, CU Boulder, this Thursday! The focus is going to be mainly on primary resources, but come on down to meet with other local Wikipedians! It'll be on Thursday, November 1, at 4pm.
I'm going to be doing a presentation on "your first edit" on Wikipedia, covering the absolute basics of using the Sandbox, the edit page, previewing your changes before committing and taking part in conversations on Wikipedia. Lisa suggested that this might be more interesting if multiple editors presented this -- giving multiple perspectives and giving us a chance to show off our diversity. Any volunteers? Let me know!
