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.

Mark your calendars! The February 2019 Bay Area WikiSalon will take place on Thursday February 7 at 1800 hours / 6:00 p.m. at the Wikimedia Foundation's Headquarters. The focus topic will be Good Articles.
- Doors open: 6:00 p.m.
- Meet, greet, mingle and munch: 6:00–6:20 p.m. (okay to munch and edit throughout the event!)
- General announcements: 6:20–6:25 p.m.
- Announcements from the floor: 6:25–6:30 p.m.
- 3-minute lightning talks: 6:30–6:40 p.m. (please advise the facilitators if you wish to do one)
- What Good Articles could we create/develop from discoveries at the Prelinger Library, and what questions does the collection raise about what "good" means?, lightning talk on the upcoming Wiki-a-thon at Prelinger Library (2/17), by Nikikana
- Presentation: 6:40–7:05 (approximate)
- Just How Good is Good? Writing a Good Article, by Lane
- Time to mingle, munch, and edit Wikipedia/Wikimedia together or by ourselves!: 7:05 p.m. to close
- If you want some help with issues you are facing, this is an excellent opportunity to get some help from other editors! Otherwise, it is also a nice opportunity to meet some fellow Wikimedians.
- Adjourn: 8:30 p.m.
- Cleanup: We can always use help with recycling/composting/trashing the leftovers and putting up the dirty dishes/stools/etc.
At each WikiSalon we typically have beverages and light hors d'oeuvres – or sometimes pizza(!), provided by a Rapid Grant from the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). You are also 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! |
