Rationale: The New Scientist commented recently "Around 90 percent of Wikipedia editors are men, and it shows" See http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2013/apr/29/wikipedia-women-problem/ Objective We are going to create and edit the Wikipedia entry for SQLBits. We could start with a main page, and then a paragraph for each SQLBits edition. We are going to invite along some of the SQLBits organisers past and present and attendees can interview them and set up pages for the different SQLBits events. Format We will have a loose Unconference style where reliance is on self-governing groups Three groups of volunteers at a minimum: So we have: ·        A group (preferably more) doing the fact-gathering online and/or interviewing ·        A reporting desk who will update the page itself, and will gather links and content for the page whilst the interviews are ongoing ·        A separate group who are looking after pictures and photos of previous events. I would love to include photos of previous swag and so on. ·        People can swap groups. How can we involve the community? I will involve the community by asking for photographs of the events of the SQLBits sessions, venues, presenters, speaker meals, community parties or whatever.
