Hi everyone!
I wanted to let you know about a survey that I am running for female
contributors to any Wikimedia project. It is being ran by me as an
independent volunteer, *not* on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dDR3a3JfaTd0a…
If you are a female contributor and you are comfortable working in English,
please participate, and if you know any female contributors, please share it
with them.
Thanks so much!

Dear Wikimedians:
The Wikimedia technical community often has important meetings in
Europe, which isn't so great for North Americans. So I want to
specifically invite interested Georgia Wikimedians to the Wikimedia and
MediaWiki hackathon happening 14-16 October in New Orleans, Louisiana.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/NOLA_Hackathon
We're getting together a wide variety of contributors -- including
template, script, tool, extension, and gadget writers -- to participate,
give feedback, test, and hack with us.
At the event, MediaWiki developers and Wikimedia operations engineers
will be working on Wikimedia's gadgets/extensions/tools support,
authorization/authentication strategy, dev-ops virtualization, and
general training and hacking. And we'll improve and discuss the
Wikimedia Labs projects infrastructure and other stuff that makes it
easier for anyone to supercharge Wikimedia with awesomeness.
The event is open to anyone who wants to come and contribute, and is an
opportunity to spend time with senior MediaWiki developers & ops
engineers, write beautiful code, and learn about the latest
developments. We'll write code together, discuss the software, and hold
little workshops.
If you can make it to New Orleans on 14-16 October 2011, we'd love to
have you. Please add your name to the attendees list:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/NOLA_Hackathon#Attendees
(And please spread the word!)
Thanks and best wishes.

Wikipedia Loves Libraries is a wiki-coordinated program of distributed
micro-conferences (editathons) to be held at libraries and archives in
cities across North America around *October 2011*.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries
The advantages of the Wikipedia Loves Libraries model:
- Easy to organize, even at small public libraries
- Welcoming to everyone, Wikipedians, Librarians, and all library patrons
- It's "the living reference section"
- Also, it's fun!
Is there any interest in meeting up for this event in the Metro Atlanta
area? We have a month to plan this event. October 22 is a tentative date.
Best regards,
Ganesh
Sorry, I won't be able too attend the gathering at Centennial Park on Saturday. I'll be headed to Chicago, Hope everyone will have a good time, best wishes.
Check me out!

Hello,
Tomorrow, if we have a nice day and does not rain, we will meet at the
Centennial Park downtown by the fountain and celebrate The Great American
Wikinic. I'd like to see a show of hands of who are going and what is
needed. Bring your umbrella if you have one and plenty of drinks. The
previous meet experience in NY in 2007
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/August_2007 talks about
people bringing their own food as there was too much food and some water was
not even opened. However, if everyone can make yourself a Name Tag and mark
it Wikinic/Name that would be great so we don't ask averyone who they are.
We may go visit the World of Coca-Cola if we have time but mostly will sit
by the benches and talk about current events and how to get this Meetup more
dynamic and active. After all we have plenty of University folks around here
that can share their knowledge of Wiki Mania.
See you all tomorrow,
H.
This event has been changed.
