I Sincerely apologize for anyone that I have confused in jumbling the date.
I had the correct date on the project page, the Foundation is offering
dinner for Tuesday August 10, not Tuesday August 11(August 11 is weds),
Thanks much, and sorry about the confusion

Hi Wikimedia DCers,
Our 2nd annual Wiki-Conference NYC will be held over the weekend of
August 28-29 2010, hosted by ITP at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts,
and also supported by Free Culture @ NYU and Wikimedia New York City.
There's still plenty of time to join a panel, or to propose a
lightning talk or an open space session.

Hey All,
In association with the United States Public Policy initiative, the
Wikimedia foundation is hosting dinner and a meetup with Wikimedia
foundation outreach staff, local participants and DC Wikimedians. They are
offering dinner at 6:30 for up to 15 local Wikimedians on a first come first
serve basis and a 8:30 Meetup and after dinner discussion on August 11. I
know that is very soon, but I hope many of you can make it. More information
and sign up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC_11
In other news, the Smithsonian Collaboration has kicked off with great
success, we are planning a workshop on August 19th and will soon start
scheduling a second workshop. Also, Boston and New York area Wikipedians
have begun communication with Smithsonian organizations in both regions, for
collaboration there as well. If you are interested in helping, sign up at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/SI.
Thanks much,
Alex Stinson
