Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon April 2017
| 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.

The thirteenth in the monthly Bay Area WikiSalon series - and our first anniversary: You can stand around, grab a couch, a booth, counter, or a stool and do your own thing. We have a whole floor to ourselves (the Wikimedia Foundation Chip Deubner Lounge).
We will have four very brief presentations:
- Lightning talks from the floor: any topic that you wish to briefly speak about (1-5 minutes each)
- General announcements from the floor: any announcement that you wish to make
- Mini updates from Wikimedia Foundation program employees: updates on the state of the Wikis and new functionality
- Breakout workshop in the conference room:
- how to add features to your User Preferences
- how to put a Tip-of-the-Day on your User or Talk page using a tip template.
- how to put a Style-tip-template on your User or Talk page
- how to add User Scripts to enhance the editing functionality or appearance to your pages (find some premmade in the script library)
- how to use some of the User Scripts
(all based on audience interest and time allowable)
Newcomers are encouraged to attend. Bring a friend! Experienced editors will be on hand to help anybody requesting help with editing. The doors open promptly at 6:00 pm. We will have beverages and light snacks, provided by a Rapid Grant from the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) and by anonymous donors. You are 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. Come late, leave early if you need to.
RSVP appreciated: register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your RSVP name. The building policy is strict on the I.D. part. If you forget to RSVP you can call
