Hi all, hope folks from the SF Bay Area can make this event coordinated
with the Computer History Museum to get a backstage tour and to brainstorm
about their upcoming Wikipedia exhibit.

Please spread the word to Silicon Valley friends non-Wikipedians. The
Museum is right near the Googleplex and is an amazing facility.

PS: I'm driving up from LA, so you don't even need to be from SF area to
make it!


MEETUP ANNOUNCEMENT
San Francisco Bay Area Wiki Meetup at the Computer History Museum
Time: Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 4pm to 8pm.
Location: Computer History Museum, Mountain View, Calif.

Meet Wikipedians and help edit a museum exhibit about Wikipedia!

The purpose of the meet up is twofold:
1. Meet fellow Wikipedians in the San Francisco Bay/Silicon Valley area
while getting a behind the scenes tour of the Computer History Museum.
2. Help edit this exhibit! The Museum is crafting an exhibit about
Wikipedia that will debut in 2013. What should an exhibit about Wikipedia
have? How should it display Wikipedia's activities, live, for visitors? Who
better than ask than Wikipedians. Meet the museum staff to brainstorm
around ideas and how to display and visualize Wikipedia to the public.

Who should attend: Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians alike, but especially
museum or technology enthusiasts

Address: Computer History Museum,
1401 North Shoreline Boulevard Mountain View, California.
