Maybe to both or either
- I can take a half day off from work (my workplace is real close to where this edit-a-thon takes place) to attend the Edit-a-thon, and certainly can attend the meetup. But there are a couple of problems regarding the edit-a-thon: I don't have a decent laptop yet (my budget is currently rather tight), and I don't have any materials about women to bring (I never have worked on any articles related to women before). If these can be addressed somehow, I would certainly go. Let me know one way or other on my talk page. Thanks! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 20:47, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
