Dear Wikimedia California folks:<div><br></div><div>I&#39;d like to announce an exciting opportunity for the week of August 13-17.</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve been working with the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA on a GLAMwiki (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) gathering that would provide a way for Wikipedians to work with the museum to improve Wikipedia articles about objects in their collection. If you haven&#39;t been to the museum, it&#39;s a spectacular facility in one of the famous Silicon Graphics buildings in Silicon Valley and hosts a new permanent collection about computing machinery through the ages. (<a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/">http://www.computerhistory.org/</a>)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Even more interesting, the museum plans to have an exhibit next year about seven software technologies that have changed our lives, and Wikipedia will be one of them. This get-together would also be a time to brainstorm and have Wikipedians give direct input into what is believed to be the first physical museum exhibit about Wikipedia.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This would likely be a 4-8pm event on one of the evenings of the week of August 13-17.</div><div><br></div><div>Interested parties, please contact me by email or as User:Fuzheado on English Wikipedia on which days you might prefer, and I&#39;ll send out a followup notice.</div>
<div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>-- <br>-Andrew Lih</div><div>User:Fuzheado<br>Email: <a href="mailto:andrew@andrewlih.com" target="_blank">andrew@andrewlih.com</a><br>WEB: <a href="http://www.andrewlih.com" target="_blank">http://www.andrewlih.com</a><br>
