I hope this isn't off topic, but I suppose it might qualify for "a place to send out
timely notices about upcoming events." In any case, I'd be happy to see some local Wikipedians :).

Dear Colleagues:
Please join us for the next ITS Colloquium.
4:30 - 6:00 PM, Tuesday February 17
206 Vanderbilt Hall, 40 Wash. Sq. So.
Presenter: Joseph Reagle, NYU Department of Media, Culture, and
Communication
Topic: Wikipedia: Nazis and Norms
Abstract: In 1990 Mike Godwin coined his "Law of Nazi Analogies" to
capture the common devolution of Usenet discourse into insulting
comparisons with Nazis or Hitler. Eleven years later, Jimmy Wales
wrote that it was important that the Wikipedia community "preserve and
extend our culture of co-operation, with all of us standing as firmly
as possible against the culture of conflict embodied in Usenet." I
argue Wikipedia is a realization -- even if flawed -- of a long-held
vision for a universal encyclopedia: a technology inspired vision
seeking to wed increased access to information with greater human
accord. And I claim Wikipedia's collaborative culture is a big factor
for this success: the norms of "Neutral Point of View" ensures that
the scattered pieces of what we think we know can be joined and good
faith facilitates the actual practice of fitting them together.
Joseph Reagle is an adjunct professor at NYU's Department of Media,
Culture, and Communication where he studies collaborative cultures,
specifically Wikipedia. As a former Research Engineer at MIT's Lab for
Computer Science, he served as a Working Group Chair and Author within
IETF and W3C on topics including digital security, privacy, and
Internet policy.
ALL WELCOME!

whole time, but a least a couple of us will stick around there.

guests from the New York Public Library, with whom we can discuss
joint projects.
