| * Join the [http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf Wikimedia-SF mailing list] to find out about San Francisco Bay Area events (or propose one) |
Bay Area wiki enthusiasts have been gathering since at least 2007. There is a solid community of contributors around here; maybe related to the proximity of Silicon Valley and all the tech-focused creativity that brings; the rich non-profit presence in the area; and the presence, since 2008, of the Wikimedia Foundation's global headquarters. A Bay Area Wikipedians User Group was proposed in 2024.
