Join local Wikipedians to celebrate Wikipedia's 15th birthday at the Boulder Public Library!
We'll share insights from recent events like [https://wikiconferenceusa.org/wiki/2015/Main_Page WikiConference USA], a visualization or two obtained from analyzing Wikipedia's enormous array of data and information, and reflect on back when Wikipedia didn't even have an article on Boulder, Colorado.
Feel free to bring some food or non-alcoholic drinks, or some of your own tidbits to put up on the [https://boulderlibrary.org/services/meeting-rooms/flagstaff-meeting-room-av-instructions/ 60" LCD screen]. Don't be shy if you just have a simple urge to to just make your first Wikipedia edit in a helpful friendly environment, or a question on how best to improve some article. If you have any ideas on how to structure this, be bold please add them below.
If you have any questions, please {{mail|Gaurav}} or get in touch via the [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-us-co Colorado Wikimedians mailing list].
See you on January 19!
