[Wikimedia-SF] Wikimania London

[Shreyas Patankar]

Hi All,

I am considering going to Wikimania 2014 in London. Is anyone else in the
Bay Area in a similar position and/or would be interested in coordinating?

Thanks,

Hi Karen,

Sorry I wasn't able to help arranging stuff this time - but I'll definitely
be there for the edit-a-thon!

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Thanks, and next edit-a-thon

[Shreyas Patankar]

Thanks Karen for putting everything together. Oct. 26 sounds good to me -
hopefully that won't turn out to be the one rainy day in October :)

>From what they told me, weekend slots get booked very fast. So I think we
should apply for one well in advance. Does anyone have suggestions for what
date would work best? Saturday afternoons tend to work for most people, in
which case we have a choice between 9/7 and 9/21. Personally, any other
weekend is fine with me as well.

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Berkeley Wikipedians

[Shreyas Patankar]

Hi Karen,

I just checked with the Berkeley Public Library (central) about
availability of their meeting room, this is what they said:

-

From: Community Meeting Room <
berkeleypubliclibrarymeetingr...@ci.berkeley.ca.us>
Date: Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 9:03 AM
Subject: RE: Library meeting room
To: Shreyas Patankar 

We have some availability in September.

Currently we have the following open times.

** Sat., Sep. 7  10:00 AM – 5:30 PM

Sun., Sep. 81:00 PM – 4:30 PM

Sun., Sep. 15  1:00 PM – 4:30 PM

Sat., Sep. 21   12:30 PM – 5:30 PM

Sun., Sep. 22  1:00 PM – 4:30 PM

Sun., Sep. 29  1:00 PM – 4:30 PM

** **

If one of these will work for you please complete and submit the attached
application.

** *~*

*Eve Franklin**, Administrative Secretary*

*City of Berkeley, Berkeley Public Library / Administration*

*2090 Kittredge Street Berkeley, CA 94704*

*Website:** www.berkeleypubliclibrary.org*

*Email**: berkeleypubliclibrarymeetingr...@ci.berkeley.ca.us*

* -*
They also told me that we should not have trouble with eligibility as long
as the person doing the registration is a Berkeley resident. Does this look
like a good option? I think either the 9/7 or 9/21 Saturdays could work
fine.

Best,
Shreyas

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Berkeley Wikipedians

[Shreyas Patankar]

Hi Karen,

Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. I can think of a couple of options
so far:

1) Campus libraries: It seems it is easy for registered campus
organizations to get access to meeting rooms. The problem is, although
Berkeley Wikipedia club is a registered group, room reservation can only be
done by a "signatory" for the group. The group mailing list itself is
inactive - I wonder if anyone on this list (Kevin Gorman?) is a signatory.

2) The Berkeley Public Library: They seem to have a public room for
community events (free, with free wifi) if you book it well in advance.
http://www.berkeleypubliclibrary.org/community/book_a_meeting_room.php

3) I've written to my friend who works with the Compass Project, a student
support group in the physical sciences, to see if they have any space that
we can use - but I've yet to hear back from them.

Among these, the Berkeley Public Library looks like the safest bet. I'll
let you know if I can think of anything else..

-Shreyas
