From: Pharos <pharosofalexandria(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Wikimedia NYC] Wiki-Conference New York July 25-26 To: "New York City Wikimedians" <wikimedia_nyc(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: Saturday, June 27, 2009, 8:17 PM The 1st Wiki-Conference New York will be held over the weekend of July 25-26 2009 (confirmed!) at New York University, and hosted by Free Culture @ NYU and Wikimedia New York City. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales will be giving a keynote, and we will also have a second keynote speaker TBA.  Since this is an unconference, participants are encouraged to give your own ideas for topic sessions! This is a also great opportunity for people who aren't so wiki-savvy to get a fun introduction.  All are most certainly welcome. Oh yeah, and we're having the Central Park picnic again too!
