Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon February 2017
| Bay Area WikiSalon series | ||
|---|---|---|
 |
Periodically, on a last Wednesday evening of the month, wiki and open-source enthusiasts meet up to mingle, munch, collaborate or learn about new projects and ideas. At each WikiSalon we plan a brief formal presentation; some will help orient people new to the wiki/open-source world, with others geared to more experienced people. Many presentations will have broad appeal to non-wiki/non-open-source folks. We hope you will join us! Note: We are extremely inclusive – broadly construed – plus we adhere to the friendly place policies of the Wikimedia Foundation.

The eleventh in the monthly Bay Area WikiSalon series: You can stand around, grab a couch, a booth, counter, or a stool and do your own thing. We have a whole floor to ourselves (the Wikimedia Foundation Chip Deubner Lounge).
We will have two very brief presentations:
- Lightning talks from the floor: any topic that you wish to briefly speak about (1-5 minutes)
- General announcements from the floor: any announcement that you wish to make
Plus we will have:
- Optional Open Space Activity: Introductory Art+Feminism edit-a-thon, facilitated by Niki Korth (nikikana) and Britta Gustafson (Dreamyshade)
- Let's get ready for the Art+Feminism Edit-a-thons taking place in the Bay area next month!
- Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon @ California College of the Arts | 10 March 2017
- Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon @ San Francisco Art Institute | 25 March 2017
- Let's get ready for the Art+Feminism Edit-a-thons taking place in the Bay area next month!
Newcomers are encouraged to attend. Bring a friend! Experienced editors will be on hand to help anybody requesting help with editing. The doors open promptly at 6:00 pm. We will have beverages and light snacks, provided by a Rapid Grant from the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) and by anonymous donors. You are welcome to bring your own food or additional adult beverages. Free Wi-Fi is available. Be sure to bring your editing device if you plan to edit. If you cannot come for the whole time, please pop in for a minute and say Hi. Come late, leave early if you need to.
Please note: You *should* register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your RSVP name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. If you forget to RSVP you can call Ben or Wayne and we will get you in. Worst case, just show up and Stephen will figure out how to get you in the doors. RSVPing helps us figure out how much food to bring in and to make sure we do not exceed the fire marshal limit for the space (100 attendees).
