Wikipedia:Meetup/SF/Wikipedia Day 2017
Wikipedia Day 16 SF is a fun Birthday bash and edit-a-thon to be held on Sunday, January 15, 2017, hosted by Bay Area WikiSalon at the Wikimedia Foundation's Chip Deubner Lounge in the South of Market business district in downtown San Francisco.
The San Francisco gathering is one of a number of Wikipedia Day celebrations worldwide.
The general public is invited. Participation will be free of charge, with room for 100 participants (hard fire marshal limit), each who should bring a photo ID for the doorperson. All are welcome, and we are especially interested in seeing newcomers join up with experienced Wikipedians/Wikimedians. We also hope for the participation of our friends from the free culture movement and from cultural institutions interested in developing open education projects.
Cake, snacks, and drinks will be sponsored by Bay Area WikiSalon via a Rapid Grant from the Wikimedia Foundation. There will be three birthday cakes (glutenous, gluten-free, and vegan), an ice cream social, and soft and hard beverages. Note: If you have a favorite beverage or treat, please bring some, and consider sharing it!
In addition to the party, the event will include an unconference with lightning talks, announcements from the floor, an edit-a-thon, and a Wikidata training session. The lightning talks will be determined during the event itself, so it will be good to bring your ideas with you, and any supporting material you need to pull it off.
The venue offers free Wi-Fi access, a projector, three screens, as well as handheld and lavaliere microphones.
