Cool, works for me. Hopefully we'll be able to sort out all the details like what Neal's brought up already, depending on when works for them.
Also, just a heads up, the mailing list is currently set up to auto-discard email from non-subscribers (due to a bit of a spam problem we were having), so your reply didn't go through (but it's included with this anyway), but we're looking into maybe changing that. In the meantime, if you want anything specifically sent, please just let me know and I'll forward it along. (Or just send it directly and I'll get a notification from the list and do it from there.)

Thank you so much, everyone! Abhay, it would be awesome if you can make it up from Colorado Springs. And Neal, thank you so much for those links and for adding our event to the list. We still have quite a bit of room, and we're planning to promote the event this week through the publications we work for.
I'll read up on the suggestions for edit-a-thons. We're asking people to bring their own laptops to Sanitas, so everyone should be registering on separate IP addresses, but we could also send people instructions for signing up for usernames ahead of time if you think that would be helpful. I just created one for myself and it's Klc17.
I'm free every night this week except for tomorrow and Tuesday, and I could also meet during the day if that would be better for anyone.
Maybe Wednesday would be a good night, and we could meet at Sanitas?
Thanks again! I hope you all had a great weekend and I look forward to meeting you soon!

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. 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.

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 <mailto: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.
