Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women in Arts and Tech

Join us on Twitter with the hashtag #TechLadiesWiki!



We will get together to improve content related to women, arts, and technology. Beginners are welcome! Wikipedia training will be provided. And while this event is focused on encouraging women to edit Wikipedia, people of all genders are welcome.

Hosted at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM), and organized by SAAM, Tech LadyMafia, and Wikimedia DC. Join the conversation on social media at #TechLadiesWiki.

Which articles are you working on? Let us know on OUR ETHERPAD

Let's listen to our edits! Put #TechLadiesWiki in the edit summary field so it can appear on.

When
NOTE: the museum does not open to the public until 11:30 a.m. Those wishing to gain access for the 10:15 a.m. behind-the-scenes tour MUST RSVP in advance, and arrive promptly at 10:00. If the tour has already departed, latecomers may have to wait until 11:30 a.m. to enter.
 * Saturday, July 25, 2015 at SAAM
 * 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. EDT

What to bring

 * A laptop (tablets can work, but the editing experience is much easier with a keyboard)
 * Any research resources you would like to refer to.
 * You're welcome to bring your camera and take pictures!

Where

 * MacMillan Education Center in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, located at 8th and G Streets NW, Washington, DC 20004 (the building that is shared with the National Portrait Gallery).
 * WMATA Metrorail stops:
 * Gallery Place/Chinatown (green/yellow/red lines): from the 9th & G entrance, the Museum is right outside
 * Metro Center (red/orange/blue/silver lines): use 11th & G exit, walk two blocks east on G, and the Museum will be on your right.

 * See also: WMATA trip planner (mobile version)
 * If arriving after the museum opens at 11:30 a.m., ask information desk or the security officers to direct you to the MacMillan Education Center. It is at the west end of the building, closer to the F Street entrance, near the hallway with the "Experience America" and Folk Art galleries.

Childcare
NOTE: Childcare registration closed Wednesday 7/22 – there were no sign-ups, so there will be no on-site childcare, BUT, through a partnership between Wikimedia DC and and Urban Sitter, we're pleased to offer a promotion for at-home childcare through Urban Sitter: Use these two codes when you book your first sitter to get a free month AND $30 in babysitting credit, *plus* Urban Sitter will donate $20 to Wikimedia DC. Codes: BYWIKIMEDIADC and VIPDC15 Link: https://www.urbansitter.com/promo/wikimediadc
