Internal:Event guide/Checklist


 * Before
 * Ensure that the venue has sufficient wifi for all participants and arrange for passwords for attendees if necessary.
 * Find out the security requirements are for attendees: (US citizens? Photo ID?  Advance registration?)
 * Discuss relevant policies with institutional partners, including Safe Space Policy and procedures for excluding users banned under this policy, policies for attendees who do not want to be photographed, etc.
 * Arrange for a place to set up the Wikipedia Space banners, if relevant, and arrange in advance for them to go through venue security, if applicable.
 * Create event pages in Podio, Meetup, and Facebook. Note security requirements on these pages.
 * If it is an editathon, make a Wikimedia event page early so as to accumulate collectively a set of pages to be edited. Try to make clear whether attendees can effectively request not to be photographed.
 * Closer to the events, post announcements on Twitter. (Original tweets (not retweets) will automatically be posted on Facebook.)
 * Ask institutional partners to link to wikimediadc.org in their announcements and blog posts and to tag @wikimediadc on Twitter.
 * Ask institutional partners to link to wikimediadc.org in their announcements and blog posts and to tag @wikimediadc on Twitter.


 * During
 * Set up and take down the Wikipedia Space banners, if relevant.
 * Take at least one photograph of the event and post it on Twitter during the event, or have a volunteer do so to their own account and tag @wikimediadc.
 * If the event is an editathon, record usernames either by hand or using the (podio?) online page.
 * Collect email addresses of attendees for followup contacts?


 * After
 * Tweet or retweet and tweets, posts, or images about the event from attendees or institutional partners.
