Thanks folks! I'm back from a trip and catching up. I'm CCing the Colorado user group email list.
I've added the event to our local events page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder It might make sense to make a wikipedia page for the event also, like we've done in the past. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Colorado/Wiknic/2016 On wikipedia, my username is "nealmcb" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nealmcb). If you all share yours (or we make and sign up on a Wikipedia page) it will be easier to coordinate things on wikipedia itself. I also posted it to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikipedia.boulder/permalink/1080892208681814/ I suggest advertising widely. Having room for 35 sounds great. I'm pretty open for a planning meeting this week also. I also found this Boulder Art + Feminism event also, from March 8th: http://events.colorado.edu/EventList.aspx?fromdate=2/27/2017&todate=3/12/2017&display=&type=public&eventidn=41148&view=EventDetails&information_id=167749 Did anyone go to that? It lists Contact Information: Name: Jessica Brunecky Email: jessica.brune...@colorado.edu so she'd be a good one to touch base with! Finally, there is some organizing info at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon note in particular: Within a 24-hour period, only six Wikipedia accounts can be created via single IP address. If there's a chance you'll have more than six new editors at your edit-a-thon, you'll want to have a plan for how they'll create accounts. They have tips for handling that, and also for advertising the event on wikipedia, e.g. via the geographic software notices.
