| 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.

Agenda[edit]
(note: you are very welcome to silently edit on your own during any announcements, talks, or the presentation, and loudly edit before or after them!)
- 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: 6:30–6:36 p.m. (please advise the facilitators if you wish to do one)
- Brief presentation – Wikipedia:Did you know ... ?: 6:36–6:51/7:06 p.m. (including Q&A)
- After that, we will have time to edit Wikipedia/Wikimedia together or by ourselves. 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. Maybe somebody will nominate an article for Did you know ... ?
- Break-out into small groups: 6:51/7:06 p.m. to close
- More mingle and munch: 6:51/7:06 p.m. to close
- Adjourn: 8:30/9:00 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! |
