Hi all – please spread the word about the event below:
After the success of last year's Ada Lovelace Festival of Wikipedia Edinburgh event, the British Computing Society Women's chapter in Edinburgh are excited to host a follow-up editathon as part of the Women who Shaped Scotland project. Organised by the National Library of Scotland and Wikimedia UK, the project consists of a series of editathons run during March 2014, aiming to improve Wikipedia's coverage of influential Scottish women in a variety of professions.
On 21 March, BCS Women Edinburgh will host an editathon on Scottish Women in Computing at the University of Edinburgh. The event will look to add and improve information about Scottish women who have made a significant impact in the field of computing, including computer engineering, software engineering, computer science, information systems, and information technology. The evening will include training for those who aren’t already familiar with Wikipedia, and there will be refreshments provided.
Details are available on the events page: https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Edinburgh_Women_in_Computing_editathon_2014
Spaces are limited so book soon!
