Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon June 2018
Mark your calendars! The June 2018 Bay Area WikiSalon will take place on Wednesday the 6th (18:00h/6:00pm) at the Wikimedia Foundation's Headquarters. The focus topic will be images on Wikipedia.
| 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. RSVP |

- Meet, greet, mingle and munch: 6:00–6:20 p.m. (okay to munch throughout the event!)
- General announcements: 6:20–6:25 p.m.

Speaker(s) will give a short introduction (15–30 minutes) on how you can contribute images, or what are good places to find images for your articles. There will be an opportunity to ask questions from the panel of presenters (Niki, Luis, Wayne, Stephen, and Lodewijk).
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.

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! |
