Meet Wikipedians and help edit a museum exhibit about Wikipedia!

The purpose of this meet up is twofold:

  1. Meet fellow Wikipedians in the San Francisco Bay/Silicon Valley area while getting a behind the scenes tour of the Computer History Museum.
  2. Help edit this exhibit! The Museum is crafting an exhibit about Wikipedia to debut in 2014. What kind of interactives would get people engaged with Wikipedia? How should the exhibit display Wikipedia's activities, live, for visitors? What should an exhibit about Wikipedia have? Who better than ask than Wikipedians. We're looking for ideas and how to display, interact with, and visualize Wikipedia to the public.

Food and drinks will be provided. Don't know how to edit Wikipedia? That's ok, we're looking for your ideas.

Can't make it, or want to get started with ideas? Start editing the wiki page: Wikipedia:Computer History Museum exhibit

Event details

Everyone is welcome to come with us at this event - newbies, experts, editors, non-editors. The brainstorming session will be to come up with ideas for an exhibit about Wikipedia.

Bring your camera, take photos of the exhibits, and make it an Edit-a-thon!
