Greetings from the North,
I saw that you had rsvp'd to the Wiki Loves Pride event in June. Who might I talk to about hosting a mini editathon during the Information Architecture Summit, May 5-8 in Atlanta? (iasummit.org). I am a member of the NYC Wikimedia group and have been accepted to host an editathon and introduction to Wikipedia editing activity as part of the conference game night, which is usually held on Saturday night. I would love to invite Wikipedia Atlanta members to participate as facilitators. I did an introduction to Wikipedia at this event last year in Minneapolis and was happy to get assistance from three local Wikipedians.
There is a possibility of an offsite meeting that is being arranged by attendees who had considered boycotting the event due to recent anti-LGBT legislation but felt a better idea might be to host an open discussion of inclusiveness and diversity. An editathon might be a good complement. I had seen the plans for a Wiki Loves Pride event in Atlanta in June so it could be a nice lead up to that activity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride_2016/Atlanta
Please let me know if you are interested and I can forward additional details. Looking forward to my Atlanta visit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nwhysel (talk • contribs) 12:20, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
