[Open-education] "Wikipedia Barn Raising" Event July 19

Thu Jul 3 21:25:09 UTC 2014

Dear colleagues,

Please join us for a free "Wikipedia Barn Raising" event on Saturday July
19th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time, at the Oakland Impact Hub, 2323
Broadway, Oakland, California -- *or online*. Lunch and refreshments will
be provided for those joining us in person.

Since 2012, we've been working -- with substantial help from many of you --
to strengthen Wikipedia's coverage of Open Educational Resources (OER) and
related topics. We've worked to build a community around this goal: at
conferences in the field, through our online "Writing Wikipedia Articles"
(WIKISOO) course, and through the formation of WikiProject Open.

At the Barn Raising, we will focus on improving high-priority Wikipedia
articles about OER, and consider ways to strengthen WikiProject Open as a
resource for staying connected as the funded period of Communicate OER
comes to a close.

We welcome online participants from around the world, with collaboration
tools and scheduled video check-ins.
