I am told that bureaucrats are exempt from this restriction. I have never had to use this exemption as a 'crat on w:mr but I suppose I can do that if needed.

Thanks folks! I'm back from a trip and catching up. I'm CCing the Colorado user group email list.

I've added the event to our local events page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder

It might make sense to make a wikipedia page for the event also, like we've done in the past. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Colorado/Wiknic/2016

On wikipedia, my username is "nealmcb" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nealmcb).
If you all share yours (or we make and sign up on a Wikipedia page) it will be easier to coordinate things on wikipedia itself.

I also posted it to our Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikipedia.boulder/permalink/1080892208681814/

I suggest advertising widely. Having room for 35 sounds great.

I'm pretty open for a planning meeting this week also.

I also found this Boulder Art + Feminism event also, from March 8th:

http://events.colorado.edu/EventList.aspx?fromdate=2/27/2017&todate=3/12/2017&display=&type=public&eventidn=41148&view=EventDetails&information_id=167749

Did anyone go to that?

It lists Contact Information: Name: Jessica Brunecky Email: jessica.brunecky@colorado.edu
so she'd be a good one to touch base with!

Finally, there is some organizing info at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon

note in particular:

Within a 24-hour period, only six Wikipedia accounts can be created via single IP address. If there's a chance you'll have more than six new editors at your edit-a-thon, you'll want to have a plan for how they'll create accounts.

They have tips for handling that, and also for advertising the event on wikipedia, e.g. via the geographic software notices.

Cheers,

Neal McBurnett http://neal.mcburnett.org/
