To: "gender, media & technology collaboration" <fem...@lists.uoregon.edu> Cc: Reminder that the Ms. Fembot Edit-a-Thon + Hack-a-Thon is THIS weekend! Hope to see you in Beverly Hills. -- *Edit-a-Thon* On Friday, March 6th, we will be writing historical figures marginalized because of their gender into Wikipedia. Not only will we be contributing to the world of free knowledge and ensuring the existence of a gender inclusive history of everything, we will be training people how to make effective and engaging entries that will outlive the participation of their creators – ensuring the digital legacy of women, trans, and/or gender non-conforming people in multiple discipline, fields, and periods of history. Location: The Ms. Magazine Office 433 S. Beverly Drive Beverly Hills, CA Details: http://fembotcollective.org/ms-fembot-2015/edit-a-thon/ Note: We'll be having a happy hour meet & greet after the Edit-a-Thon on Friday at the Avalon Hotel: Avalon Hotel, Beverly Hills 9400 W Olympic Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 -- *Hack-a-Thon* At our first Fembot Hack-a-thon, we created the Fembot Bot: an auto-tweeting bot designed to auto-reply to sexist and racist hashtags. Sadly, Twitter shut down the Fembot Bot too quickly. Join us in their memory on Saturday, March 7th, when we will collaborate with coders, software designers, and others at the Annenberg School to build some awe-inspiring feminist tools and interventions. Location: USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism Wallis Annenberg Hall (ANN), RM 106 3630 Watt Way, Los Angeles, CA Details: http://fembotcollective.org/ms-fembot-2015/hack-a-thon/ -- For those of you who won't be able to make it out this year, follow along on Twitter [#MsFembot] & look-out for live updates. - - - *Sarah T.
