Wikipedia and open education: free event next week

Hi Bay Area-ers,


Next Monday evening, Creative Commons is hosting a panel discussion about open education. I'll be speaking, along with Amy Roth (Wikimedia's research analyst on the Public Policy Initiative) and a couple of other fascinating folks. I hope some Wikipedians can come -- there's a lot of interest these days in how Wikipedia fits into the education landscape, and I'm sure there will be many people with questions about how Wikipedia works.

Here's the info on the CC Salon, Monday June 13 at 7pm:

And for a little background on the work I've done in this area, check out this blog post they just published:

Hope to see you at the Salon!
-Pete

p.s. At the risk of becoming a broken record, don't forget the Great American Wiknic on June 22! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Wiknic

One last reminder: Grab your favorite picnic food, and come join us in Golden Gate Park for the Great American Wiknic tomorrow from noon to 4pm!


Please feel free to bring your favorite grillable foodstuffs, a bottle of wine, a baseball glove..or be a true Wikipedian and bring a pile of reference materials! :D

See you tomorrow,
-Pete

Re: Wiknic tomorrow!

Sorry, can't make it. Got a ticket for California Shakespeare 
Festival long before Wiki announced this date.
