Hello Bibliotechnicians,
Plans for a Wikipeida Loves Libraries Event at Wikimania 2012 in Washington D.C. are coalescing.

So far the suggestions are to hold "an informal happy hour meetup" and Biodiversity Heritage Library may present. Also I'm planning on hosting a "no editing experience necessary Wikipedia Tips and Tricks, and Secrets for Librarians" workshop. We want to gather some Librarians from the surrounding area to create an assorted mix of both Librarians and Wikimedians.
An important next area to finalize is the date. This will happen in the pre-conference days of the 10th or 11th of July, and we want your input to know exactly when, by use of this doodle.

Likely we will have some space at a George Washington University Library, and OCLC will sponsor some refreshments.
What else would you like to see happen?
