Editing meetup at Double Union on Sunday October 26, 4-6 pm

[Britta]

Hi everyone! Our first SF LocalWiki editathon at Double Union in August was fun, so let's do another one on Sunday afternoon from 4-6 pm or so (we could extend it a little earlier or later if that's easier for anyone). Here's a blog post with details about how to visit the space, which is a few blocks from the 16th Street BART station: http://doubleunion.tumblr.com/post/100591807764/san-francisco-localwiki-editing-sunday-october-26

The second part of the post proposes a theme - feminist, women-centered, queer-centered, and/or trans-centered spaces and history in San Francisco. It includes a bunch of links to local history materials that I've been excited about. The area around 16th & Valencia is really rich in interesting stories, and it makes a lot of sense for Double Union to help bring them out and share them. :)

A related thing I've been doing is sending article links to the Mission Mission neighborhood blog, which sometimes publishes them: http://www.missionmission.org/2014/07/29/about-that-old-police-station/ + http://www.missionmission.org/2014/08/25/about-that-big-hulking-building-that-blocks-out-the-sun-at-25th-and-capp/

The San Francisco subreddit can also be a good place to post individual articles that are likely to appeal to a broad audience: http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/2c5gpz/old_mission_police_station/ + http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/2ee6gt/ever_curious_what_that_weirdly_large_and_ugly/

This shares the information with more people (yay!), and sometimes you get great comments with tips that you can integrate into the articles. It could be fun to aim for writing more articles that could be distributed like this.

I wish I could, but I am busy all Sunday. Perhaps if I get a minute I
will go on a stub-spree before then.

Aah, I will probably be 5-10 minutes late and the doors will probably be locked, but I will be there soon to unlock!

Also sorry everyone, the elevator is stuck today in a way that means I can't turn it on. :( Double Union is on the 4th floor.
