We thought we might do something for Women's History Month, but there's already quite a bit scheduled both on March 7th and March 8th. We were thinking about doing something on Thursday March 19th from 4-7 - so this would be a little different in that it's a weeknight, and also East Bay based, as well as being hosted by a library (and an awesome special collections library, at that. Part of doing this on a weeknight is to get some of the library staff to come - they are unlikely to show up on a weekend, but I recognize that you all may not want to show up at the end of a work day or on a week night! I'm just testing the waters here to see people think this is a great idea, of if we'd be better pushing it into April. Would you come? Help? Thanks for your feedback!

If you're going to be in the SF Bay Area, please join us from 1p-5p at the International Women's Day edit-a-thon at the Wikimedia Foundation. If you don't know anything about how to edit Wikipedia, other editors will teach you, and we will all learn more together. Light snacks will be provided, as well as fun and great camaraderie. Remote participants are also welcome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/International_Women%27s_Day_2015 Please also consider attending the San Francisco ArtandFeminism edit-a-thon at the Kadist Art Foundation on Saturday, March 7th, which is part of the global Art+Feminism editing weekend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/ArtandFeminism_2015 Hope to see you there!

I am working on organizing an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon event in SF at Kadist Art Foundation &lt;http://www.kadist.org/&gt; on March 7th (12-6PM) and am looking for experienced Wikipedia editors. If you are interested in helping with this event, please get in touch. My email is: morehshin-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org See below for more information. Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This year Kadist Art Foundation is participating in the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon! Please join us in addressing Wikipedia’s gender gap by attending our SF satellite edit-a-thon on March 7th, 2015 from 12-6PM. We will spend the afternoon participating in a communal update session as we work together to improve and add Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. You can check out our frequently-updated wiki as we plan the event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/ArtandFeminism_2015 *More on the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon:* Art+Feminism is a campaign to improve coverage of women and the arts on Wikipedia. Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2011 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female.[1] The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Wikipedia. This represents an alarming aporia in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. __________________________ Morehshin Allahyari www.morehshin.com _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF&lt; at &gt;lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf </pre> Morehshin Allahyari 2015-02-20T19:57:33 Fwd: San Francisco: Speak out on net neutrality onThursday, 11/20 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.sanfrancisco/1118 <pre>Hi all, EFF asked us to pass on this invite to local Wikimedians who may be interested in attending an SF City Hall hearing on net neutrality.

In SF, Noisebridge (their entire website is a mediawiki wiki!) https://www.noisebridge.net/ can also be an option for a venue for such meetups and salons. Finally, a general-purpose MediaWiki user group specifically at use outside of WMF projects was formed at Wikimania this year and there's a meeting tomorrow (Friday) Sept 5th, good to keep on the radar at least: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/Proposals/Wiki_Co-op#News // Matt On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 12:39 AM, マイキ &lt;maiki&lt; at &gt;interi.org&gt; wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF&lt; at &gt;lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf </pre> Matthew Senate 2014-09-04T20:31:43 Re: Edit-a-thon for Zone9 bloggers this Sunday (8/24) in SF http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.sanfrancisco/1112 <pre>Unfortunately I am out of town this weekend but I am very glad to see this and I hope lots of people can attend.

It appears that the MediaWiki group focuses on MediaWiki software and its users. Cascadia will focus on mutually beneficial relationships between Wikimedia content sites, the interests of Cascadia members, and mission-aligned interests of organizations in the Cascadia region like GLAMs, research and education institutions, government agencies, and open source technology organizations.

We ought to meet up sometime in the next month (unless there's a reason not to). I've been throwing around some ideas, both technical and philosophical, around wikae, and I'd like to talk about it and hear responses by voices not in my head. I am thinking we could make it relaxed, so maybe we meetup, do quick round of intros with ideas we want to talk about, and then socialize. We did this at the last SF meetup I attended, and I liked it. Quim, can we use the WMF office? If not, I can probably host at Impact HUB Oakland (near 19th St. BART). I'd be interested in doing this more often than once a year, so let's discuss times and locations that make it easy for folks to attend. ^_^ maiki _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF&lt; at &gt;lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf </pre> マイキ 2014-08-18T07:39:37 Re: SF user group? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.sanfrancisco/1107 <pre>Welp, we have https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/San_Francisco, which hasn't done much lately, and I am partially accountable for that. But that is not completely focused on Wikipedia, and isn't a potential charter group like https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_Wikimedians. I don't comprehend what the chapters do, exactly, because we have the WMF in town, and it seems redundant to have a chapter here as well. That may be a good thing, of course. Thanks for putting that forth, I guess; sounds like we are being visited by benevolent aliens. ^_^ Is there a deadline coming up on your chapter submission? I get that you want to do outreach, so maybe you could explain a bit more about yer chapter and all that, and how it is different from the MediaWiki group. maiki On Sun, Aug 17, 2014 at 11:57:29PM -0700, Pine W wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF&lt; at &gt;lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf </pre> マイキ 2014-08-18T07:31:25 SF user group? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.sanfrancisco/1106 <pre>Hi SF Wikimedians, I think we are getting near to the formal formation of Cascadia Wikimedians. There have been occasional questions about whether SF is forming its own user group or would like to be included in Cascadia. If you want to form your own group or want to remain unaffiliated, that is a decision that we will respect. If you would like to be included in Cascadia please let us know. We are currently proceeding with Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. From my point of view, SF is culturally similar to the three planned Cascadia territories and there would be an economy of scale in including SF in Cascadia.The downsides of including SF are geographic stretch and the complicated California regulatory environment. My feeling is that SF would do better as its own user group, but we are happy to collaborate with you or talk about including you in our membership if you are interested in affiliating with Cascadia.

How do World War II-era booms weave into current displacement trends? What can the housing overcrowding, racism and displacement of yesterday tell us about today’s realities?* We’re excited to announce that the Prelinger Library has invited us to join them at the end of July for an editathon on gentrification in San Francisco! The *Prelinger Library* &lt;http://www.prelingerlibrary.org/home/&gt; is a private collection of rare books, maps, zines and other ephemera held by Rick and Megan Prelinger, both “appropriation-friendly” librarians. *Rick* &lt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Prelinger&gt; is well known in the film archive world for his fascinating collections of American home movies and for his work with the Internet Archive. *Megan* &lt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megan_Prelinger&gt; is a cultural historian, whose research and writing has ranged from artificial intelligence and information design to city planning and social theory. Megan will be curating a personalized collection of books and ephemera for us to use in our research. *RSVP* Since the library study area is rather small, they have asked that we limit participant numbers. We’ve been hearing a lot of strong interest in this editathon, so in order to accommodate as many people as we can, we will be splitting research times into three groups: - Wednesday, July 23rd, 5-8:30 pm (6 spaces) - Saturday, July 26th, noon-3pm (12 spaces) - Saturday, July 26th, 3-6 pm (12 spaces) Please RSVP either by emailing me privately or by adding your name to the wiki event page: &lt;*http://localwiki.net/sf/Gentrification_editathon &lt;http://localwiki.net/sf/Gentrification_editathon&gt;*&gt;. *Sign up for as many times as you'd like to attend, but if the slots get filled you may be asked to go to a less-popular time. Sorry! *:P *LOCATION* 301 8th Street (near Folsom Street) Room 215 San Francisco, CA *FUN FACT*The library collection is organized in order of proximity, starting with San Francisco and extending into outer space. :] *Let me know if you have any questions!* Take care, Vicky _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF&lt; at &gt;lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf </pre> Vicky Knox 2014-07-17T07:12:24 Re: < at >congressedits http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.sanfrancisco/1104 <pre>Hi Karen, The issue is that the IP address, especially nowadays, can provide identifying information such as physical location or organizational affiliation. Registering an account, perhaps with a pseudonym, and then using that to edit, prevents those details from being made public. To some, it seems unfair that registered accounts have that sort of protection, while anonymous edits don't. There are ways to mask your IP address, of course, but they are technical, may trigger additional surveillance, and may not be obvious to someone who just wants to edit Wikipedia. There is discussion of using one-way encryption or some other technical means to be able to obfuscate anonymous users' IP addresses, while still having a fixed identity for users from a particular address. Another solution would be to set up an "account-in-waiting" for anonymous users, based on their IP address. But that might be a problem for IP addresses that are used by multiple people, who might include spammers along with real contributors.
