Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon April 2017

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:

(all based on audience interest and time allowable)
 * 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

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 Ben or Wayne and we will get you in. Worst case, just show up and Stephen will figure out how to get you in the doors. RSVPing helps us figure out how much food to bring in, makes sure we do not exceed the fire marshal limit for the space (100 attendees), and allows us to accommodate special needs or wants.
