Bay Area WikiSalon on Wednesday, April 27: you're invited
Pete Forsyth
Hello -- I'm writing to invite you to the kickoff event for our new monthly series of WikiSalons. These free events will be at the Wikimedia Foundation offices, the last Wednesday evening of every month, and will provide an opportunity to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new wiki-related projects and ideas. For this first event, we have two brief presentations lined up:
- The Nueva Upper School recently hosted the first ever high school Wikipedia edit-a-thon. We will hear what interests them about Wikipedia, what they have learned so far, and what they hope to achieve.
- Photojournalist Kris Schreier Lyseggen, author of The Women of San Quentin: The Soul Murder of Transgender Women in Male Prisons, will tell us about her work and how she researched the topic.
We allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. We will have beverages and light snacks.
Please note: You must register in advance, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on this point.
