History

Wikimedians in the Bay Area have been organizing meetups and salons since at least 2007. There also used to be a San Francisco User Group which is no longer active. After an interruption during the Covid 2020 Pandemic, a new series of monthly meetups have brought contributors together to work on projects, exchange resources, help new users get started and find community and organize editathons. Starting a user group is a way to continue those efforts by having a structure for people to join.
